The apartment is stylishly designed and very well equipped. It is really relaxing, especially watching the river and the people going by. The area feels very safe, although it can't be described as picturesque. There is an A3 bus which you can catch, the stop is a few yards down on the left it takes you to the center - plaza Moyua. The walk along the river into the center and passed the Guggenheim is wonderful. If you are interested in seeing an Athletico Bilbao match you could not be nearer, turn left passed the fish restaurant up alot of steps!! and your there. The San Mames metro is also there which takes you close to the old town - stop - Abando (platform 2). From platform 1 you can get a metro to Portugalete, worth a visit. Also take the iron (steel?) bridge which transports cars and people across to Getxo.
