Dealt with a contact of our host, a chap called Manuel. Manuel met us at a nearby square because the apartment block is at the end of a small passage way which would be hard to find without guidance. Manuel explained the host was out of town and he was looking after the guests, he was very helpful and did his best to answer our questions, his English is certainly better than our Spanish.

As for the apartment, it is fantastic, best for 3 but fine for 4 people especially a family with 2 children of the same sex. Our teenage sons were happy sharing the pleasant if slightly small second bedroom. Kitchen, bathroom, living room and the rest of the block were all fine. We loved the courtyard entrance, so Spanish... and you can get out onto the roof of the block too, and its perfectly safe, no views but plenty of fresh air and drying space.

As for the apartment location, well we struck lucky again. Despite our poor sense of the directions within Seville confusing complex of streets, we could not have been better located right in the heart of Seville, yet within the complex sheltered from the exterior hubbub. The nearby squares of full of cafes, restaurants, bars and there's a nearby supermarket. All major sights within city centre are an easy walk in terms of distance, though don't be surprised if you get lost in those Sevillian streets.

Juan Carlos has a gem of an apartment, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
