We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maria's place. The apartment is immaculate, bright, beautifully decorated and wonderfully situated. Its four juliet balconies overlook the gardens and rooftops of an Andalusian Ducal Palace, and it's steps from a charming little plaza filled with fountains and orange trees - two perfect reminders that we could only be in Seville, as were the oranges piled artfully in a basin in the corner of the dining room. Maria was a delight, and a perfect host. We arrived late, after a drive from Granada, and she first called down from the balcony to let us know we'd found the place, and then hopped in the car with my brother to help him navigate the twisting medieval streets to the parking spot. That done, she welcomed us warmly and gave us great suggestions for dinner spots, both of which we loved. Our only problem with this charming apartment in this wonderful city is that we didn't stay in either of them long enough!
