Alison was so very sweet! She made us feel really welcome despite our miserable Spanish (we're working on it!) The pictures very accurately reflect the apartment setup. We were very happy to have access to a washer / dryer, an iron and a coffee maker/tea. The neighborhood is perfect, very close walking distance to the main attractions of Seville, just around the corner from the "mushrooms" and quite close to some nice places to eat and drink. The only downside for us was the proximity to a bar that was right across the very narrow street. (If you aren't familiar with the "old town" streets of Spain - then think of a large sidewalk. This is about how wide the street was in between the apartment building and the building with the bar "across the street"). I'm not sure if the bar is new since I did not read about this in other reviews - but if you are a light sleeper or like to hit the bed early (note: we found ourselves rolling into bed around 11pm, which is considered early in Spain as we quickly learned) then you should definitely bring ear plugs or consider another place on a less busy / loud street. I brought ear plugs, but they didn't help me. Due to the noise levels coming from the bar patrons across the street (quite entertaining on some nights - one evening a gentleman strolled down the street singing) and the many scooters and cars zooming by all night, resulting in us being unable to catch a good nights rest while staying here, was the only reason we were ready to leave. We needed a good nights rest :) Otherwise, perfect location, perfect hostess and lovely apartment.
