Carmen's apartment is one of the best AirBnB experiences that we have had. Before I get into details of this amazing property, I would like to put out a very very special and heartfelt thanks to Carmen and Miguel. I had fallen very sick and we reached the property a few hours before our check-in time. Miguel and Carmen saw my condition and opened their house for me to sleep till the room got ready. They even helped us to get to the hospital which was a life saver. ( Quick info: La Macarena hospital is a very good govt hospital that treated me free of charge even though I was a tourist. We just had to pay for my medicines at the pharmacy). Carmen and Miguel are very generous and very compassionate. Carmen checked on my well being every day and it was really touching. Both of them are great travel photographers/ bloggers and it was great to swap travel stories with Miguel.
The property is situated right in the heart of Alameda de Hercules. It's a very very good location with the most buzzing and happening bars and restaurants just outside the door. Having said so, it was superb that our room was very silent and we never got disturbed by any outside noise. The building is very secure and you get full privacy and independence. It has in total 8 rooms/ apartments that you can check under other listings by the same host.
Seville is a city best explored on foot and with this property being a 3-5 mins walk from old city, we were able to discover the city's multi faceted beauty deeply and thoroughly. In every direction that we went from the house, we discovered hidden gems which a slow traveler would definitely enjoy.
The room is exactly as shown in the pictures, it is on the ground floor.
The building and the room both are beautiful with some historical pictures, tasteful art and typical Andalusian style great decor.
Our check in experience was great and they even left us some muffins and croissants in the welcome basket. We got fresh towels and coffee refill when we asked and the communication with Carmen was always prompt.
The shower is great, with good pressure and running hot water. The bed was very comfortable and sheets were clean.
This is what my partner had to say about the property on his Instagram
N.V.- "Airbnb with history. We lived in a property that was owned by legendary #flamenco artist Adelita Domingo in Sevilla. She taught and lived here. This wonderful space has been renovated and maintained with much love by the wonderful human beings and super talented travel photographers @morenatti and @un_mundo_alrededor (look up the Airbnb listing by Karmen in Sevilla). This space is precious for us in that it did much healing for us and helped us go deeper... deeper in Sevilla, deeper within ourselves and deeper in each other's hearts. #traveldeeper 😁
Sevilla, we'll miss you."
We have absolutely loved our stay here and we will recommend the place to everyone who is traveling to this gorgeous city. We are sure we will return and hope to spend some great time with Carmen and Miguel. Thank you once again and lots of love!
