Nerea's apartment was a pleasure to stay in! Spacious and clean, and tastefully decorated, just as the photos suggested. We were greeted by two of her friends upon arriving who were very friendly, despite having to overcome a mutual language barrier. I was slightly startled at first though, as when I was trying to locate the apartment on my map outside on the street, I could hear and see somebody looking down at us from a balcony and beckoning us to enter the building below. Luckily this was the right place...and we were welcomed quickly and professionally after that.
The only issue we had was on the last day, just a few hours before checking out, when the lights and electricity blew. Fortunately it came back on after 3-4 hours of attempts, however for purposes like showering in the dark and for anybody who blow-drys their hair etc when they're getting ready, this could be a bit of a nuisance...
Beyond that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nerea's apartment in the vibrant and diverse area of San Francisco, and found some terrific local restaurants very nearby to it - one of which is definitely not to be missed, called Restaurante Agape! Highly recommended.
Furthermore, the apartment is well located in the city of Bilbao and is a comfortable walking distance away from pretty much all major cultural attractions, including the historic old town - Casco Viejo (literally only 5 minutes away!), where we found even more local and authentic food delights! A great spot for food enthusiasts who love discovering new cuisines :)
