Balcón del puerto II - Bigliving, Vigo Overview
Balcón del puerto II - Bigliving is located in Vigo, Spain. Rated 8.3 out of 10 based on 7 guest reviews.
Balcón del puerto II - Bigliving is a two-bedroom apartment-style stay in Vigo, Spain, set on Rúa de San Francisco 51, a practical base for exploring the port area and the city’s historic core. With a guest rating of 8.3/10 from a small set of reviews, it’s the kind of place people tend to recommend for its straightforward comfort and the ease of having space to spread out. Recent guests have highlighted the apartment format and the day-to-day livability, including a kitchen and a washing machine that help when you’re staying more than a couple of days. The living area and flat-screen TV make it easy to unwind after time on the streets, while the non-smoking policy throughout keeps the environment consistent. For families, the availability of family rooms can take some pressure off planning, and the covered parking is a useful extra if you’re arriving by car.
Location-wise, you’re within about 1 km of Estación Maritima and close enough to reach Centro cultural Caixanova and Santa María Collegiate Church on foot in roughly the same range, making it simple to mix waterfront views with cultural stops. If you’re golfing, Ria de Vigo Golf is around 7 km away, reachable by a short drive. Staff follow local safety protocols, and the property removes shared items like menus and pens to reduce contact, which reviewers typically appreciate in everyday terms. Overall, Balcón del puerto II - Bigliving is best for couples, small families, and solo explorers who want an apartment base in central Vigo rather than a strictly hotel-style stay.

Should You Book Balcón del puerto II - Bigliving?
Worth considering if you want a practical, port-and-old-town base in Vigo, especially given the solid 8.3/10 guest rating. The main trade-off is that the rating is based on only 7 reviews, so it’s a smaller evidence base than more heavily reviewed properties.
Best For
- Travelers who prefer apartment-style stays over hotels, since this is a two-bedroom, apartment-style option
- Guests who want to be near Vigo’s port/Estación Marítima area and historic sights like Santa María Collegiate Church, all about a 1 km walk away
- Small families needing family-room configurations, with the added comfort of non-smoking rooms and non-smoking throughout
- Visitors arriving by air who want a relatively close airport option, with Vigo Airport about 10 km away
Not Ideal For
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to noise, since the provided information doesn’t confirm quietness or soundproofing
- Skeptical bookers who prefer many reviews before committing, because the 8.3/10 score is based on only 7 reviews
- Travelers who need on-site dining or extensive on-site services beyond what’s listed, since the nearby restaurant scene is where food options are implied
What to Expect
Check-in and settling in should feel straightforward for an apartment-style stay on Rúa de San Francisco, with a convenient base for walking to the port and nearby historic areas. The neighborhood feel is geared toward exploring, with Vigo Port (Estación Maritima area) and Santa María Collegiate Church both around 1 km away, and Centro cultural Caixanova also about 1 km. Mornings can start with a calm routine in a non-smoking environment, then head out toward Parque da Alameda (about 2 km) or the port area. Reviews are generally positive enough to land at 8.3/10, but with only 7 reviews, expectations should be set accordingly.
