Rafael was a great host, meeting us at the door and sharing his story with us about the house we are in being his family's old family home converted to apartments. The apartment could' have been better located...near the Salvador Square and mid-way between the Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral. Rafael suggested tapas bars and a flamenco show which attended both with high praise. The kitchen is adequate, I don't think you could cook a big meal here but we just used it for breakfast and it worked fine. We visited in early February when the night got cool and Rafael had two portable heaters that worked great when needed. A big bonus for us was the washing machine and the plentiful rooftop clothes lines for drying. Any visitor to the great city needs to start with a hop on hop off city tour to get the information. The red buses that we used worked for 48 Hours and even included 4 walking tours. Don't miss the audio tour of the nearby Salvador church which was extremely interesting. WHEN we return to Seville we will stay with Rafael again.
