Mario's home is brilliantly located and safe neighbourhood, close to so many parts of the city including the centre. I had an ongoing joke - that everywhere was either a 5 or 20 minute walk (with, every now and then, the odd 30 minute walk if I wanted to go towards the river).
3 or 4 doors down there is a Carre Four supermarket, an Aldi one street away and a Lidl a couple of streets away.
I stayed for the whole of May and it was very homely. Though I never met Mario in person, he was an excellent host and great with communication. On the one or two occasions where issues arose, Mario was speedy in his responses via What's App and they were always resolved on the same day. This included - for example - an occasion where one side of the built-in hob wasn't working. Mario's marvellous handyman came to the apartment and replaced it a couple of hours later! I was thoroughly impressed. Equally, Mario was always on deck for any questions I might have (tourist stuff, local area, the feria festival that was taking place at the time - anything, basically).
The apartment has plenty of beddings, more towels than you can count. The apartment has great air con in every room, and is also well lit from natural light during the day. At night, all the bedrooms have shutters if you wish for the room to be completely blackout (though, you might find it hard to wake up in the morning!). I should note that, though there is a hob, there is no oven. This caused no issues, but just worth paying attention to - especially if you plan to cook at home.
If - like me - you're a gym-goer then this is even better. The biggest gym in Seville is located on the same road and does a 1-month membership!
I spent my time in Seville writing and I found the apartment to be calming and relaxed. Aware of this being the reason I was visiting, Mario was so kind as to put a desk and office chair in the second room for me, which made for a very comfortable stay.
I also had friends visit and it was great to know that the apartment had enough space for them to visit without it impacting me.
Thank you for hosting me Mario!
