Great time spent at Alexandre's flat in Seville. Perfect location in city centre only 10 / 15' walk from main historical sites. Walking thru narrow and winding pedestrian streets is a pleasure. Lot to see whether being traditional and also modern shops, typical houses...
Located right next to Plaza de Encarnacion with this odd big mushroom_like sculpture it allows also to mix up with the locals away from more touristy districts. In any way walking thru the city is easy and never long distances. City bikes plenty available when really exhausted. Around Encarnacion are many bars and restaurants. I would recommend ‘La Creme de la Creme’ coffee shop at the back of the Plaza, quiet terrace and delicious pastry and zumo de naranja.
20' taxi ride from airport and 10' from main railway station. Beware taxi fares as in many placed in the world. Airport rides set at fixed price by authorities including everything number of passengers and any suitcase. On a weekly day set at 22 euros our driver tried us 27 for no good reason other than bad driving. Bad luck for him I knew the ruled and had ensured to have party cash to pay exact fare. Nothing unusual in touristic places. They even try it on me in my Paris home town. Just be aware. The rest of drivers where honest and pleasant chatty people.
As for the flat we were nicely welcome by Lola at the agreed time. Well furnished, clean with everything needed. Nicely decorated. Good bedding. And so quiet and peaceful with the building inner patio. You would not believe buses and cars are travelling by 300 yards away.
Strongly recommend this place for visiting Sevilla and surrounding.
