Rafael was an excellent, friendly and helpful host. Shared with us the history of his beautiful and historical family home and made us very welcome. The apartment was perfect - comfortable, clean, well-furnished in good taste, and retaining elements of the original decor. The apartment is a tranquil and quiet place, in the middle of the very lively centre of Seville, only a few minutes walk to the Cathedral, Alcazar, etc. with many good restaurants, bars and flamenco centres close by. We would happily return to stay here and are very grateful to Rafael for his hospitality and help in making our stay so memorable.
