I was just told of an available apartment for the month of July and I hope some of you may know about the different neighborhoods in Bilbao and therefore help me make a decision if I should take this apartment or not.

For a 3 bedroom apt. in the Sarriko neighborhood on Orixe street. It will cost 700 euros for July
My most important question is about the safety in that area and if it is a place where my daughters will find things to do ( parks, cafés, stores, etc.)in the mornings while I am in class.

They tell me it is 5 minutes by metro to the University. Is this true?

deibid and kelly, I sent you both a more complete description of the apartment, and I hope you can give me an opinion.
