On this trip, we met Maria Jose's husband, Thomas, who is an excellent host. He showed us the apartment and then walked around the neighbourhood with us, showing us the bus stop and the grocery store. They were also very accommodating in meeting us. We had set the time for 6pm, but because of weather, we called them around noon and asked to change the time to 1, and they accommodated our wishes.
The two bedroom apartment has everything you would need for a comfortable vacation. The kitchen is very well equipped. It is clean and the furniture is in good shape. It is closer to the city centre than we thought. Thomas provided us with a bus ticket, but we found that we could walk to the city centre in about 30 or 40 minutes. The only drawback is that the walls aren't very sound proof and you can hear the neighbour's chatting and their television.
It is a safe, working class neighbourhood with a supermarket, mall and bus stop within a block. The painted wall murals are impressive. The neighborhood isn't very clean, in that dog owners do not clean up after their pets. However, we are finding that this is common in Spain, and not unique to the neighbourhood or even Seville.
Thank you Maria Jose!
