We found Elena to be thoughtful and responsive host, over email and text. Prior to our trip, we had received a list of nearby sights and directions to reach her flat, which were most helpful. Her flat is located in a quiet part of town, as part of a gated compound. Check-in was a breeze and Elena's tips for local sights were much appreciated. Space was adequate for us, and the amenities and provisions were ample. Elena was always on hand for help and advice and we appreciated her help in coordinating a check-out time and organising a taxi back to the airport.
The surrounding area is perfect for morning or evening strolls, with the Macarena Church a 10-minute walk away. Dotted all around are other small churches and convents. Metropol Parasol is about a 15-20 minute walk away, and if you feel up to it, the other sights of Real Alcazar and Plaza de Espana are easily reachable either on foot or public transport. There are numerous restaurants and tapas bars in the neighbourhood, but our favourite was conTenedor for lunch (as per Elena's recommendation).
All in all, we had a lovely stay in Seville; thank you so much, Elena, hope to return soon!
