On the positive side, this is an excellent location. If you’ve never been to Seville and want relatively short walks to the Cathedral, other important sites and good restaurants, the Plaza de Santa Cruz is the place to be.

But as far as accommodations go, you should know that this is essentially a corporate apartment which we feel is overpriced. You’ll be greeted by a property manager, not the owner. You’ll see a brochure inside for tours you can buy. It is furnished in a stark, minimal way with only bare essentials (no hand soap, no paper towels, napkins, etc.). This apartment is also in need of some repairs or upgrades.

Maybe we’ve been too spoiled by other airbnb properties which were furnished very comfortably and decorated in a way that made us feel at home. We’ve gotten used to being greeted by friendly owners who offered everything from sightseeing suggestions and directions, to fresh fruits and a bottle of wine.

The conditions in this unit might be acceptable if it was offered at a bargain price. But it’s actually the most expensive one we stayed at, by far, over a two week trip. Yet the others were much better.
