Bilbao High Apartment

What a perfect apartment in such a centrally located area! We stayed here for four nights before catching the ferry home, and it was ideal for our family of four—including two young kids aged one and seven. The apartment is beautifully set up for families, with thoughtful touches like a travel cot and plastic cutlery that made things so much easier. The space itself is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, and within walking distance of lovely local communities and attractions. We were able to park for free nearby every day, which was a huge bonus. The host was fantastic—very proactive and responsive. When we had a minor issue with the fridge, it was resolved immediately with no fuss. We would highly recommend both the apartment and the area. It really made our stay relaxing and memorable!

This is a beautiful, well-equipped apartment. It is within walking distance of all local amenities and has a bakery and supermarket, right opposite. The apartment has everything you need for a very comfortable stay in this lovely city.

Fully kitted out, ample sized apartment with all Bilbao’s best attractions close by. It’s just like taking your own home with you on vacation. We were really surprised by the level of fittings and what is supplied for use. Communication was clear, punctual and kind. We loved Bilbao and we loved staying here

We travelled as a family of four (two adults, two children). The host was kind and let us leave our luggage before check-in, which was very helpful. The apartment was clean and had enough space for sleeping. The kitchen was bigger than expected and had space for a dining table. We found a few things left by previous guests, and the host kindly left us a bottle of wine and fresh baguette – such a nice touch! The bathroom was modern, and we appreciated having a washing machine. The location was excellent – very central, close to the city hall, the river, a supermarket, and many restaurants. We really enjoyed walking along the river to the Guggenheim Museum – it’s a beautiful walk. Two Barik cards were available, which made public transport even easier. Getting around in Bilbao is simple and very affordable. There were a few small downsides: The apartment is in an older building and has a traditional water heater. The hot water wasn’t enough for four people to shower one after another. One of the bedrooms faces the street and can be very noisy at night – you need to keep the window closed to sleep well. The apartment is on the ground floor (1° in Spain), so we had to keep the shutters down for privacy and security. We also had to complete the tourist registration ourselves before receiving the access code. In other places, hosts did this for us using ID photos. Despite these small issues, we had a great time in Bilbao and felt very welcome.

The apartament has a perfect localisation, close to Googenheim, Casco Viejo (old town) and many other attractions in Bilbao. Very good communication with the owner. Maria is a perfect host. She prepared everything, cofee tea, salt pepper, butter and brad prepared for guests. 1 day before arrival we've got from Maria all needed instructions incl. transportation, what to visit, metro etc.
