We stayed in this apartment for one night! The location is very central but be aware that this apartment is located on the first floor at the junction of two of the busiest and most touristic areas in town…with trams going up and down the street the whole day starting at 6 am! You will hear all of that! You can definitely get a nicer apartment in a street nearby, still get a glimpse of the city but not be exposed to so much noise pollution! This was not the only issue in the apartment! As we entered the building there was a sewage smell all over! The smell was also in the apartment! The smell didn’t go away during the night and it was so bad that it made it very hard for us to sleep! It was also so loud outside with the street lamp in our face that we couldn’t open the windows! I communicated this at night with the apartment manager but he got back to me in the morning offering to call a plumber which was already too late for us! The last and worse surprise was when my partner took a shower in the morning! After a few minutes the whole apartment floor was soaked wet with water because the shower sink was stuffed! You expect to see things like these in cheap motels but, no, we paid almost 100€ for one night to stay there! I also spotted many mold spots all around the shower floor which indicated neglect over a longer period of time!
The manager organized a cleaner right away and he came down really fast to see what is happening but the whole situation was a catastrophe and we were checking out anyway! This apartment is so over priced for the quality they offer that I am surprised to see they continue to operate like this! I also saw the same apartment on booking dot com for around 230 € per night which is to me another surprise!!!
So, do not be fooled by the nice pictures and the cathedral! It is not worth it to pay so much to stay there! We booked a really nice hotel in a very beautiful area facing Alcazar garden in the city center (with reception, cleaning, kitchen, drinks included, balcony to see the city, etc) for only 82€! There were even chapter options available at the time!
The owner was also very stingy and offered me to refund only 10% of the money! Also the manager accused me of lying about the smell and that we want to take advantage of them to have a cheap vacation!!!!
The way they handled their own mess was extremely cheap and inconsiderate!
But luckily I took photos and submitted them together with a complaint to Airbnb and they compensated me almost 50% of the money we paid!
I hope you don’t have to go through this during your vacation! You can definitely find a better places for a better price in the beautiful city of Sevilla!
