Esther's place is absolutely amazing! It's so private, quiet, and peaceful. It's in a great location. If you turn one direction going out of her place, there is a place with bars and stores and outdoor exercise and playground equipment and all kinds of activities. If you turn the other direction you are in La Infanta Elena Parque and it's huge and you can go for miles running, walking, riding bikes, or feeding ducks at the pond. There's even a dog park there. It's like 3 minute walk from Esther's place to the Cercanías commuter train, which connects you to everything in Seville including the Santa Justa train station where you can travel to any other city. She's also right on the #27 bus line which takes you to Plaza del Encarnación which is in the heart of the tourist attractions, shops, cathedrals, botanical gardens, and the river.
I speak awful Spanish and what i do speak is Mexican Spanish, not Spain Spanish, but it wasn't a problem. Esther speaks slowly and clearly and you can understand almost everything -- and if not, she's not afraid to type words and phrases into a translator app. She was great about giving me directions to get around the city by bus and on foot. She also let me drink a LOT of her coffee. :) I arranged a late checkout and she was happy to do that for me and to hold on to my luggage while I did the tourist thing.
Her dog Mia and 3 cats Denzel, Luna the monster, and India are all wonderful citizens. She calls them her "family" and they were a highlight of my stay.
I will definitely stay here if i ever make it back to Spain!
