Pepe’s flat is very centrally located, offering tourists a huge benefit in being able to walk to so many places. We also enjoyed the classic Sevillan style, as it sometimes felt like being in a gallery or museum. There are also many books, including books on Sevilla and art. Pepe was also very nice when he met us on our arrival after we arrived from a long journey from New York City with a stop in Barcelona. He provided us with recommendations for several nearby restaurants.
We are living and working in the city, so we spent more time in the flat than other guests might. There were some drawbacks. There isn’t much light because there are only a few windows. There is a hint of mustiness to the air, which could be solved with a thorough cleaning and updated furniture and rugs. The kitchen could use more routine kitchenware, like plates and bowls. Also, an upstairs neighbor is very loud, and one might say verbally abusive to the people he lives with. This was troublesome and distracting to us.
Finally, the most difficult part is that we requested for Pepe to extend our booking by one day. We had to work that day and it would be difficult for us to move. Yet he didn’t extend our booking and took a reservation for another guest instead. We had to leave a day early because of that, which was very inconvenient.
