The apartment is in a concentrated tourist area -- close to many tapas bars, shops, attractions (the cathedral, Alcazar, and other points of interest) so we did not feel isolated and it was very easy to pop into a tapas place or get a taxi. The apartment is charming - bedrooms have floor to ceiling shuttered windows which open to wrought iron balconies (not a balcony you can sit on -- but one where can lean out to look up and down the street and enjoy fresh air and the sounds of the city). The rooftop terrace offers amazing views. We made use of it nearly every day. We only encountered other people twice - but the terrace is very large and has a lot of seating area. The washing machine is on the roof and not in the apartment. I hadn't expected that but used it with no problem. Bring a travel clothes line if you plan to do laundry. Also - ask the host to show you how to use the stove and the washing machine if you are not used to European appliances of this type. The apartment building has a lot of marble and high ceilings. It is lovely but we found that noise carried from the other apartments and from the hallway. I think this is likely the case for any of the apartments in this area because of their age and architecture. The beds in one room were more comfortable than the other -- in one room the mattresses were firm foam rather than what I would think of as a mattress, but this again could be more typical for private homes in Europe. It is a pretty apartment in a pretty building in a good area -- overall we enjoyed experiencing Seville this way.
