In the apartment we found almost everything we needed - even the little extras, like oil, vinegar, salt, coffee machine filters, tablets for the dishwasher. The beds were comfortable. The street is residential, high oldfashioned apartment houses. We found it really good and lively. In the early evening everyone from very young to very old is outside - watch out for flying footballs! Three supermarkets within two hundred metres, fishmonger, butcher, fruiterer... Two blocks away is the river, where people stroll on the promenades on both sides until late evening. The tram is on the other side of the footbridge, a trip costs 24cents. Metro, trains and buses are also unbelievably cheap - a two-hour trip to the coast costs 3,35€. It's not worth bringing a car (though if you do, the free garage is a bonus). Bilbao is a very clean, relaxed city. We were there for three weeks and loved it. Day trips out are also super - Burgos, Santander and San Sebastian are all manageable. But the smaller places are worth the effort, too: Elorrio, Markina, Durango, Lekeitia, Plenzia, Algorto... Word of warning: don't rely on Google maps - neither for the maps themselves (they haven't caught up with some new building in the city, and certainly not for bus/metro/train trips. Go to the Tourist office and get reliable information.

We found that there wasn't really enough cutlery (only three knives, for instance) and some shortages in crockery and glass (we donated two wine glasses). A dishwasher is a fine thing, but you need to be able to fill it up in order to use it efficiently.

The apartment was well equipped and would have pretty much everything you'd need for your stay , location was great some nice bars right on the doorstep as well as some we stocked shops and supermarkets . The centre was within easy reach via foot or public transport

Bit of street noise from rubbish collection in the mornings, but this is no fault of the owners.

Great apartment very close to the centre of everything that you'd need in Bilbao. Used key/codes to get in and out which worked well, everything we needed was inside, pretty much perfect for what we wanted which at the time was a central base for a race we were doing in the area.

The apartment was in a great location for walking around Bilbao. It was perfect for our needs in that it was centrally located, had a great little kitchen and bathroom, and we were able to spread out more than we could have in a hotel room. Very comfortable for a couple of nights in Bilbao! Our hosts were soooooo nice and so helpful when I couldn't get the door open the first time. And they texted to check on us which was a very nice touch!

The central location also meant that we were right next to a plaza and a recycling center. So it was hard to have the windows open, especially at night, because the street noise was pretty noticeable. Also, the bathroom was pretty small, so just be aware, and we didn't discover the air conditioner until we were getting ready to leave (that's on me!). The door is a challenge to open at times, so just be patient!

location was fine, quite central and lively. appartment was quite big, the bathroom not so much. There was a kitchen but we did not use it

beds were very squeeky/noisy

Great location, spacious apartment, amenities as described, very helpful and communicative hosts.
