Our stay in Sevilla was perfect. Semana Santa is a wonderful time to visit to really experience Seville - we felt part of the atmosphere, taking in the sights and were really given a chance to be part of a celebrating community. The parades were something else - like you would never see back in the Uk and everyone was so hospitable and accommodating. We really embraced the time of year and the atmosphere of the city - attempting to speak Spanish whenever we could and really felt at one with this amazing city. There is a bar and pizzeria right outside the apartment which some people may not like but we had many a drink there and ate the food which was perfect for a late night meal post all the processions. The flat itself we couldn't fault - although do make sure you're on "intimate" terms with whoever you stay with as the bathroom doors are see-through and as it is loft-style, there are divisions but no roof! We cooked in one night and had the doors open onto the square listening to the bands of semana Santa and enjoying the cool breeze (29degrees in April!) The small things here really made the difference - having milk, coffee, tea, bread and jams was great and taken for granted! Clean, modern and in a fab little location we couldn't recommend Seville any more. Maria was so helpful, even booking a taxi for us on departure. If you want to really feel part of Spain, Seville is it. We thoroughly recommend the Alcazar on a sunny day, take time out in the beautiful gardens, and also the local bars - assimilate and enjoy!! Xx
