All was great with our stay at Ricardo's place in Sevilla. Ricardo was there to greet us upon arrival, and he showed us the apartment. He lives right upstairs, so he was easily accessible, when we had questions, which wasn't often.
The apartment is a bit dark, but if you stay there during summer, I'm sure the coolness of the dark sleeping rooms, will suit you well. For us it was no problem, and I will not hesitate to give my recommendation. Free parking is available just accross the river, only a 5 minute walk away, and the apartment is very well located.
