Lovely apartment but not the best location. Friday and Saturday night there is an after hours bar that opens from midnight until 0500. It is very loud. Close to walk to lots of things though. Need a few more wine glasses. Great response from the host.

VRBO stay in the San Francisco area of Bilbao Spain.

Very nice apartment, but the immediate area is a little sketchy late at nights on the weekend. Directly across the street is an after hour bar open from midnight - 5 am that had disturbing activities going on outside our windows directly below our windows. We had to close our windows and avoid being seen. It is a half block from the river so a short walk to a better part of town. When we arrived and our husbands parked the car at the train station parking lot, we had multiple people come tell us to not stand outside our VRBO waiting for check in with our luggage and helped us get inside the lobby until we could get into the apartment. My recommendation is to google the safety of the district you are staying in.

Excellent apartment in a great location near Bilbao’s old town

Our stay in this Bilbao apartment was fantastic. The location was perfect — just a short walk to the old town, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and sights nearby. The apartment itself was clean, modern, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Communication with the host was smooth and friendly. We would gladly return on a future trip to Bilbao!

Cute place with character

The place was great. There is no central A/C so It got a bit humid indoors. Also there is no dryer for clothing and no tv in living area. We travelled with a family so tv in family room would have been nice for kids at end of the day. The area whwre condo is at, is near old town. It is a bit loud ar night and diety outdoors but it is centrally located which is nice. Back room is quiet, but room next to front of street gets more noise. My mother in law had a hard time sleeping. Overall owners had great suggestion list, it was clean and roomy and beds comfortable.

A fun place to stay

Gorka's apartment was just as listed. No surprises or wide angle lenses used in the photos. He supplied us with an extensive list of local eateries (especially Perro Chico for the best beer of our trip!), shops and other options. When, after we checked out, he notified us about a pair of eyeglasses left behind and is sending them to us in the US! Great service from a great guy! If we return to Bilbao, we will stay there again, even if we need to adjust our dates.

Bilbao San Francisco neighborhood

Overall our stay in Bilbao, despite it being short, was wonderful. Our VRBO was an excellent location, VERY walkable to NUMEROUS tourist spots and restaurants. Only complaint is it would've been nice to have shampoo/bath soap, but this was not a big deal as we did have our own. One other thing, Friday night there was quite a bit of neighborhood noise from celebrating or loud socializing outside of VRBO. ASIDE from those items, the VRBO property was nice and spacious.

An excellent stay!

As a group of three couples this apartment was a fantastic choice; beautifully designed and very well located being just across a bridge from the old town in a street of traditional buildings. Whilst quite minimalist in style it had everthing we needed for a week long stay. We stayed in this property for Aste Nagusia and it was an excellent choice close to the action but not in it, it is a very noisy week where celebrations continue at least until dawn. It is also within walking distance to many of the attractions: a walk along the river to the Guggenheim and the Ribera Market (in opposite directions) and 10 minutes to the Alhondiga. Supermarkets, grocery shops, bars and restaurants are nearby. The owner was responsive to questions before booking and mailed a list of local attractions before we arrived, and helpful on checking in. We had a great time here and would stay here again. We would highly recommend this apartment. Thank you Gorka, for letting us stay in your lovely apartment.

Spacious, bright apartment near Bilbao’s old town

Bright spacious apartment within walking distance of the old town. Has three double rooms, two bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. No balcony. Gorka was helpful with tips and allowing us to store bags after checkout. Good, comfortable new mattresses make a difference. Downside, there is a very loud bar across the street that is open late on the weekends and there are two bedrooms facing it. It was difficult to sleep in these rooms unfortunately. No air conditioning although it looks to be in the process of being installed. If it wasn’t for the noise you’d be fine with the windows open instead.

Everything you need for a getaway

Love being in town and people watching on the balcony. Located on the first floor so must go up one level. Close to river walk access with tons of sights nearby and the market in walking distance. Beds were comfortable and ice packs are provided so we could keep cooler chilled. Showers are amazing. You can pay to park on the street but it is cheaper and better to park in the parking lot a couple blocks away, very close by. There is a long term parking rate. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay in the spacious apartment. Laundry was good too and you must air dry. Around the corner is a market with fruit, snacks, drinks, soaps. Also, there is a cork screw for your wine.

A great week in Bilbao

we spend one week in the apartment and enjoyed it very much. very close to the old city, lots of nice restaurants. Bilbao offers quite a wide range of activities which we used very much (museums, nearby visits and very good food). Safe parking nearby at reasonable prices. Check in very good. However one must be aware it is directly in the city with some traffic etc. => but we wanted the short ways.

eine Woche Bilbao

insgesamt sehr schön, Lage ist exzellent, Altstadt und Lokale vor der Tür, Tram auch, alle attraktiven Orte zu Fuß erreichbar. Für Leihwagen Parkplatz zu moderatem Preis wenige Schritte entfernt. Ausstattung des Appartments sehr gut. Der einzige Wermutstropfen: gegenüber ist eine Bar/Disco oder sowas, am Wochenende akustisch aufdringlich. Im vorderen Schlafzimmer dann besser Ohrenschützer mitnehmen. Der Vermieter war sehr freundlich und bemüht.

Charmant appartement tout près de la vieille ville

Les plus : spacieux pour 6 adultes, très propre, assez bien équipé, dans un quartier vivant, bien situé près du vieux centre-ville. Gorka est très réactif, merci à lui ! Le moins : l'isolation n'est pas top. Le week-end, ceux qui dorment côté rue risquent d'avoir le sommeil perturbé par le bruit nocturne du bar en face.

Ein Katzensprung über den Fluss in die Altstadt

Wir waren zu 5 Erwachsenen in der Wohnung und haben uns in der geschmackvoll, minimalistisch eingerichteten Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Betten waren bequem und alles war sehr sauber. Aber vor allem ist die Lage der Wohnung fantastisch, da wir nur über eine kurze Brücke gehen brauchten um mitten in der Altstadt zu sein. Um zum Guggenheimmuseum zu gelangen, machten wir einen herrlichen Spaziergang entlang der Flusspromenade. Dadurch bekamen wir schnell einen tollen Eindruck von der Stadt. In der näheren Umgebung der Wohnung gibt es unzählige Restaurants und Bars und auch die schöne Markthalle ist ganz in der Nähe am anderen Flussufer. Mit den zwei Badezimmern und dem schönen großen Esstisch war die Wohnung für uns sehr praktisch und bequem. Sie hat durch die edle Einrichtung viel Atmosphäre. Durch Beschreibung wird allerdings die Situation der drei Schlafzimmer nicht ganz klar. Ein Schlafzimmer mit Bad und separater Toilette liegt nach hinten raus, ist mit einer Glasabtrennung vom Rest der Wohnung getrennt und ist sehr ruhig. Die anderen beiden Schlafzimmer liegen zur Straße, die nachts laut ist, da viele Leute aus den umgebenden Restaurants und Bars noch spät hindurchgehen und auch Autos noch spät durch die schmale Straße fahren. Dafür hat man aber die tolle Lage und ist mittendrin. An unserem Wochenende fand auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Flusses ein großes kostenloses Bluesfestival statt. Das war wirklich großartig! See you again! Danke! Christine & Friends
