We enjoyed our four-night stay in Maite's apartment. Ahead of our visit, Maite sent us information about the apartment, the pool and intelligent recommendations to enhance our experience of Seville.

We were greeted by Maite's brother, who showed us around. Maite was out of town, but was very prompt in responding to any questions.

The apartment is comfortable and in a great location. The pool is a great respite, especially after a hot, June day exploring the city.

If you have the chance, dine at their restaurant, Contenedor. Maite's husband, Javier, is a gracious host, and their 'slow food' menu, featuring local products, is delicious, with inventive twists on classic dishes.

We look forward to staying in Maite's apartment again, on our next trip to this wonderful city.
