38 Calle Lumbreras, Sevilla, Spain Surroundings The apartment is located a block from the Almeda De Hercules. The Almeda is a huge and bustling plaza that has tons of restaurants, music, activities. A few blocks away is Calle Feria. This street has a wonderful mercado, Olive store, Panaderias, and a flea market late in the week. We really liked this aspect of the location. It had a great Farmacia , the restaurant ESLAVA, a little fruteria, a supermercado close, alementacions everywhere, and lots of local people. Since I am trying to learn Spanish, I loved that aspect of the location. So the walk to the Cathedral and the Alcazar is twenty plus minutes. It is through the Alemeda, through local shops, then through the shopping districts. We did not mind these walks and got an excellent tour of the inner city. I, personally, did not mind this location from that aspect at all. The location is also about a five minute walk to the QuadalQuivir river surrounded by great walking, bike paths , playgrounds, etc. We did not bike this time but, if you lay out a strategy, biking would be great fun and is very cheap. The strategy is needed to keep you off the narrow, little streets where there are a bunch of cars, people, etc. all the time. The apartment When we first arrived, the lady told us that this apartment was one of twenty that were being managed, so it is not the typical AirBnB. It is a rental. After our request for maintenance and the first cleaning, the apartment was clean. The first and second bedrooms were on the third floor of the building. The third bedroom was on the fourth floor. The appliances worked fine and we had no real problems with them. (The refrigerator seal was loose and the door was sometimes impeded by the counter, but that was minor.) The staff The staff was responsive and we were able to change towels and request cleaning when it was needed. They are located close and we are thankful of that. Locked myself out once and the staff was there within five minutes to get me back into the apartment. We bought a bunch of CDs while in Seville and we requested and were provided a CD player to use during the trip. Location 1. The building front and the building across the street was filled with Graffiti. 2. The main view from the windows of the apartment look directly upon an decaying building filled with weeds growing from the side and old antennas, and graffiti. The views you see in the management photos are there. You just have to use very selective vision to see them. 3. To get to into this apartment, we needed to walk up four flights of high stairs. We could have missed this in the description, but it was certainly a surprise to me. Good exercise, but when you walk all day in a city, and come home,...
