I stayed for a week at Maria's 'Yellow Box' studio in Seville. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Firstly, the location is amazing. It is in a cool neighbourhood, within walking distance of everything you could want to visit in Seville. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, yet it is not noisy. It is also very close to the Sevici bicycle docking stations.
Secondly, the apartment is not only incredibly funky and perfectily designed, but very well equipped, and spotless! Maria has gone more than the extra mile in making sure your every need is catered for. Amongst many other features, there is a speedy wifi connection, a washing machine, all the kitchen supplies you need, dvd's, shampoo, hairdryer- the list goes on. She even left some breakfast supplies, milk, and 2 beers!

I did not meet Maria, but her communication via email and text message could not be faulted. She was always incredibly helpful and quick to respond. Even helping me pick a hotel for my parents who came to SEville for 2 nights at the end of my stay.

I was met by her colleague, Icsa, who spoke perfect English and was extremely friendly and helpful. She showed me around the apartment and talked me through a map of Seville, pointing out places of interest, markets, restaurants, etc. Maria, who is obviously incredibly well organised, even left a pocket sized ring binder with recommendations for eating, shopping, drinking etc. I went to at least 8 of them and they were all brilliant! The tortilla at Santa Maria was DIVINE! I went everyday on my way home!

All in all, I had an amazing time in Seville and most of this was because of Maria. Thank you very much. And I look forward to coming back soon.
