We had a fantastic stay in this Sevilla apartment. It is in the PERFECT location for sightseeing - close to everything, in a great neighborhood with many convenient shops and restaurants. The cathedral, and Real Alzacar are only a. 10-15 minute walk away. We felt very safe in this area, even allowing our 18 and 16 year old sons to venture off by themselves at night. We even walked down to the Plaza de Espana (about 30 minutes, but a very nice walk along the river). It is beautifully laid out, with the two smaller bedrooms on the opposite side of the living area from the master suite, giving both our teenage boys and us a decent amount of privacy. The kitchen was VERY well equipped for the 4 of us to make and eat breakfast at the spacious kitchen table, and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. We could have cooked all of our meals, but we wanted to try as many local restaurants and cafes as we could. The showers worked well, with adequate hot water, bathrooms were stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and even toothpaste, and a hairdryer, too, which is a very nice touch. Everything was very clean and stylish. I really like the colorful wall paper in the kitchen! The dishwasher and washer/dryer worked perfectly, and there is a book in the apartment with detailed instructions on how to operate both - we used them both and had no problems. Maria was a very thoughtful, kind and responsive host. She recommended a very close, reasonably priced parking garage and met us on the street outside the apartment to let us in and show us everything, including little details someone else may overlook. She gave us personal recommendations for a wonderful flamenco show, and a very nice wine shop next door. I had a few silly questions during our stay and she responded very quickly and was very helpful. I highly recommend this apartment! One of the nicest we have ever rented.
