To begin with the positive aspects of this apartment- it is on a quiet street and easy to find. It is within 11 min walk to the Catedral de Sevilla, 18 min walk to the train station, and 25 min walk to the Plaza de Espana. The host’s sister and brother-in-law were waiting to greet us for check-in and they were so friendly and kind. There was also excellent communication with the host throughout our stay. He was very responsive! The bed was also very comfortable and the apartment spacious.
Unfortunately, there were a few things that detracted from our stay. We noticed immediately after checking in that there were lots of ants. We contacted the host and his sister returned immediately with ant spray. We did have to spray throughout our stay and the smell was very potent. We noticed that the trash in the kitchen had not been emptied before our arrival and this could have contributed to the ants. The front door was also very difficult to dead bolt lock. The host mentioned that the heat may have caused the wood to swell- we got it to lock our second night by lifting on the handle but it was difficult. Lastly, (a minor issue) but the towels were so scratchy and uncomfortable- hopefully an easy fix. All that being said, Jose Esteban was very communicative throughout our stay as we brought these issues to his attention.
