On arriving at the apartment we were met by Isca, Maria's friend who showed us everything and gave us a very comprehensive explanation of where to visit and recommendations. The apartment is in a bustling part of town with plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from, or equally there is a supermarket opposite if you wish to stay in and enjoy the apartment. We were left fruit, bread, milk, jams, butter and beers to welcome us which was a lovely touch. It is pleasant 15 to 20 minute walk into the city centre, therefore it is near enough to visit the sights, yet far enough away to return and relax in the apartment. In the square just outside, there are bars and a pizza restaurant, on Thursdays there is a quirky 'antique' market which was filled with unusual artefacts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maria's apartment and would recommend if you wish to visit Seville.
