We had a wonderful stay with Maria Jose for three nights in Seville. Maria Jose gave us good directions on how to get to her house from the airport. Her house is very nice and clean and the room we had was comfortable with its own bathroom. We are thankful that the room is air-conditioned. The location close to the city center is great and we were able to walk to all the sights in the city without having to use taxis or public transport. She is very close to Plaza Espana which is one of the top recommended places to visit in Seville. She had other guests in her house, and it was nice to talk to her other guests to get tips to visit the city.
Maria Jose is a very kind and caring person. She is availble when we needed help. She gave us maps, and gave us tips on what to see in the city, and where to eat. There are several good places for tapas on the next street, which she can reccomend. However her house is located on a residential street so it is very quiet. She is very interested in different cultures of the world and we had several lively conversations with her. She does not respond in English to the enquiries on Airbnb, but while we were there she knows enough English that we never had problem communicating with her even though we do not know that much Spanish. When we wanted to go to see a Flamenco show she sent us to a Falmenco place that did not charge us for the show. We just had to buy our drink and tapas. It was not a place full of tourists, so it was authentic.
When we had to have our clothes laundered, she did it for us and we had our clean clothes back that afternoon after sightseeing. When we left, Maria Jose offered to drive us to the car rental place near the train station for a nominal fee, which made it very easy for us.
We highly recommend Maria Jose as a host in Seville. We will definitely stay with her again on our next visit to Seville.
