What a GORGEOUS place! This is a one-of-a-kind experience-- a beautiful apartment with an unbeatable location. Only steps from the Cathedral, down a quiet street with a lovely historic plaza, the entrance is surrounded by orange trees. The apartment is lovely, with three large bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom (!). Huge living room and dining room with balcony overlooking a lovely terrace and French doors everywhere. Kitchen with all the basics. It was a dream-- we wish we could have lived there forever!
Just an aside-- one of the reviewers wrote there was nothing to make coffee-- but actually there is a cafetera, or stovetop expresso maker, which works perfectly (as a coffee addict, this was an important detail for me). You can stop by the Carrefour Express (small grocery) less than 10 min walk away to get all your basic groceries. We also were happy to be able to wash clothes with the washer and they dried in a few hours hanging them on the little patio.
Francisco was easy to reach and very helpful. I still laugh thinking to myself how he explained to me the directions very clearly and accurately-- walk down the street behind the statue-- but as we had just arrived in Sevilla I didn't realize the narrow stone path I saw counted as a "street"! So he sent someone to get us and we quickly arrived at the house... soon after I realized what counts as a "street" in Sevilla... :-)
That was the other special thing about Francisco's place-- it is right there in the heart of the Santa Cruz barrio, the most charming part of Sevilla. You could not ask for a better location-- it is a lovely walk to everything we wanted to see. Thank you, Francisco, for sharing your apartment with us!
