This was our first time to Basque Country so we had no idea what to expect. The apartment’s central location within Bilbao afforded easy walking access to everything such as grocery shopping, restaurants and bars, public transportation, entertainment, etc. Our best initial move was to walk to the Tourist Information office where we obtained great information. They also recommend to purpose the Transport pass (Barik card) which we used to travel on all transportation modes to travel within the town and explore surrounding towns
The apartment was clean, everything worked, and modestly furnished (not luxurious by North American standards), and comfortable.
Communication with the host (whom we did not meet in person) was great and timely.
