Great

We really enjoyed our stay in this property. We spent 6 days in Bilbao and enjoyed all the amenities and great food that this city offers. The property is close to Casco Viejo. The hosts were great, and attention to detail was top class. They promptly answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed.

Lovely Apartment Great Location.

Our only issue with our stay was the communication from the owner. Our check-in info was received the night before our flight after some chasing. I gave them grace for the Easter holiday but did start to worry when it missed Vrbo stated issue date. Getting this info was also a problem when we tried to use the Vrbo site. As the owners were going to be on holiday the day of our flight and a video needed to be sent. This took some time due to issues with the Vrbo site. We also had to ask additional questions as we were not being met at the property. The property was in the old town not far from the cathedral Santiago. We arrived by taxi on the main road as the taxi could not enter into the old town. You can also get there by airport bus. The apartment was on the first floor via stairs. It was very clean, tastefully decorated with exposed beams. The lounge, dining area and kitchen layout was open planned. With an efficient heating system with radiators. It has a bathroom with shower, ltd amt of toiletries, & good quality towels. The kitchen area was well equipped. With a dishwasher, washing machine stove microwave but no oven. The windows were well insulated for sound and the double blinds kept out the street lights. We were surrounded by a multitude of bars, restaurants, takeaways, mini marts and a walk to many supermarkets the best value being Mercadona. Most places of interest were a walk away. We also visited Vizcaya Bridge using the metro system.
