What is it like to live in Bilbao? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It is a very safe city, not big, not small, perfect size to walk it from one end to another. Bilbao is surrounded by mountains and the sea is in 15 minutes by train. I really like the architecture, the shopping schedules are also very nice. 9:00-14:00 and 16:00-21:00 more or less.

350-500€/month (a shared room in a flat).
