Xabi's place is (if possible) perhaps even better than shown in the photos. It is large, spotlessly clean, stylish, quiet yet central and incredibly comfortable. The bed is great, the showers excellent and the towels & sheets new and ever so clean. The location is also excellent - 10 min walk to the Guggenheim, 15 min walk to the old town, close to shopping, groceries, restaurants and a 5min walk to Plaza Mayor and the bus to the airport. All communication was quick and excellent. We had a great visit to Bilbao and cannot recommend Xabi's apartment highly enough. You won't be disappointed.
