The apartment is very well located. It was about a 15 minute walk from the train station and is close to both the tram, a wonderful conveyance, or the metro. It is in the Casco Viejo (old town), which has vibrant city life during the day but is quiet at night (after midnight)).

The apartment was spacious, clean and quite comfortable. It has three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. It could easily accommodate five people. Arantza was there to meet us when we arrived. We had no further contact with her but she did say that we could call her with any problems.

We found the kitchen to be adequately equipped but for those who may want to cook full meals, it may lack a few things.

We came to Bilbao primarily for the Guggenheim but found Bilbao to be a friendly, clean, livable city with a well organized public transport system for both the city and other parts of Spain. There were extensive river promenades along both sides of the river, well lit at night.

If we were to come back to Bilbao, we would definitely stay at Arantza's apartment again.
