Jose Maria's flat was perfect for us. Situated in the middle of everything, we were able to live like Sevillians (with really terrible Spanish) for our week's visit. The flat was warm, yet immaculate and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I believe Jose Maria is an artist and the aesthetics of the flat showed his wonderful tastes. The coolness of the inside courtyard welcomed us each time we wandered home. I even had fun doing laundry as I hung our clothes upstairs on the roof, accompanied by gorgeous views of the city. Jose Maria met us to let us in and orient us - he was extremely helpful and kind, offering suggestions and maps and even left a few basic food supplies for us to use.

A short walk in any direction led us to multiple restaurants, shopping and sightseeing of all sorts. We felt incredibly safe exploring the city and allowed ourselves to get lost and wander aimlessly. I suggest visitors eat, eat and then eat some more. Contenedor was our favorite restaurant.

On our next visit to Seville (and there will be a next!), we will definitely stay here again!
