We just returned from a two week visit to Madrid, Seville and Lisbon and Manolo and his apartment in Seville is where we stayed for 5 nights. Manolo offered to pick us up at the train station and take us to the apartment and we greatfully accepted and even though he was a few minutes late, he did send an email letting us know of his slightly late arrival (5 minutes, no problem for us). Manolo is a bundle of energy and clearly loves his city and it is reflected in everything he does in his apartment. He gave very clear directions on dining options, sights to see, places to visit and all kinds of local literature in the apartment. He spent a great deal of his time making sure we understood everything (he spoke very good English) and ensuring we would have nothing but the best visit. He even offered to have his son, Manuel, pick us up on our leaving the apartment (extra charge, but well worth it) and take us to the airport. Manolo checked on us several times by email to ensure we were having a good time and asking if we had any questions, again, his personal service and the love of his city are worth having someone like Manolo and his son Manuel on your side. The apartment itself was small but had all the necessities and the location was wonderful, very very close to the Cathedral and the Giralda tower and many sights and dining options close by. Manolo and his son are the reason to rent the apartment. I am sure you can find nicer places (also more expensive) in Seville, but can you get the personal service and insider knowledge of someone who is willing to share and clearly loves the city in which he lives ???
