Reviews from previous residents

“Waking up every morning to views of the estuary from my studio is something I would not trade for anything. The residence is in a perfect spot: 7 minutes from the Economics faculty and a short walk from the Guggenheim. It does not get better than this.”

Iker, UPV/EHU — Livensa Living Bilbao

“Bilbao is an incredible city to study and live in. From Livensa you walk to your faculty, the metro is two minutes away and the Casco Viejo is a quarter of an hour. The facilities are amazing — especially the gym and the study rooms.”

Amaia, Deusto Business School — Livensa Living Bilbao

“The Studios Building is a fantastic option: a larger bed, access to the common areas of both buildings and an unbeatable location right on the estuary. I would do it again without a second thought.”
