If you have ever thought of going to Bilbao… Do yourself a favor and go. My wife and I had spent seven days in San Sebastian and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were thinking that Bilbao might be a letdown after the glamour and the beaches of San Sebastian. After spending a week in Bilbao, we realized how wrong we were. San Sebastian does indeed have lots to do, lots to look at, great food and beautiful beaches. But what Bilbao has is soul. It’s truly a great town, and if I ever had to choose between spending a week in Bilbao or a week in San Sebastian, I would easily choose Bilbao.And if I am ever able to go back to Bilbao, I would want to stay again at Roberto’s lovely apartment. First of all, Roberto was very accommodating, he is a lovely host. Second of all the view is fabulous. We never got tired of looking out over the river and to the Mercado de Rivera. Third was the kitchen. The built-in Gaggeneau espresso maker and stovetop were truly wonderful. The showers were a bit small, but adequate, they had great fixtures that offered plenty of hot water. It has a nice comfortable couch, and a large TV, a nice dinette set with very comfortable chairs, and a great little bar top table with two stools perfect for gazing out at the great view. Both bedrooms had 2 twin beds, but in the main bedroom the beds had controllers that enable both sleepers to adjust the confirmation of the bed to best suit their desires. So… It’s great, just book it.
