We had the most fantastic stay at Esperanza's lovely air b&b apartment. It was spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped with many thoughtful and useful touches, and so well placed for Seville's delights 15 minutes walk to the cathedral, countless bars and tapas eateries around, atmosphere galore, that we really can't recommend it highly enough. The layout of the apartment is absolutely ideal, with the living/kitchen area overlooking the narrow cobbled street, which is dotted with bars and shops, and the bedroom at the back, where it's completely tranquil. There is even a private courtyard off the bedroom where you might have breakfast, although we didn't have time for such luxuriating. There is very little through traffic on the street to be of any bother so the ambience is one of neighbourly charms and interest. It feels like a local residential area yes is so accessible to anything a tourist may want. Yes there is some street noise once the bars are open but this amounts to no more than a low level, local buzz and unless you plan on spending your evening at home in contemplative silence it is hard to know how this could be an issue.
Esperanza is so kind, friendly and thoughtful. We had difficulty finding her as air bnb has not changed the address they have for her place, but she was out looking for us and went to a lot of trouble to help us. She even managed to track down a jacket I had left on the bus from the airport, which I was then able to collect from the lost property office.
We had a particularly special experience as we were there during Semana santa and one of the major processions took place along our street - we had a fantastic ringside side right from our balcony. The parade passed directly under us us, yards away!
This is a gem of a place, and Esperanza is a jewel of a host, don't hesitate to book this place.
