This was our third trip to Seville and we specifically wanted to stay in the area around the Plaza Alameda de Hercules because it's close to the centre but not as touristy as the areas around the cathedral. Because we were in Seville for the biennale and wanted primarily to relax and to visit some flamenco shops, Alexandra's apartment was perfect for us. We particularly loved the huge roof terrace where we had breakfast every morning and drinks sometimes in the evening. I also loved the comfortable living room which was tastefully furnished with charm, plus it was light and airy. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need to cook at home, but there are also some fantastic tapas bars and restaurants close by, ie., Dos de Mayo and Restaurante Eslava. Although the apartment faces the street, the bedrooms face the back and are quiet. There is no aircon in the bedrooms, but as we were there during September and the nights were cool, we just used the ceiling fan. There were renovations going on in the entry when we were there so coming and going was a slightly dusty affair, but when these works are finished I expect the building stairway will look very beautiful. When we are in Seville again we would have no hesitation in staying at this lovely apartment.
