This apartment was exactly as described. Great communication from the outset and we found the place with no problems. Elena was not able to meet us, and one of her friends was waiting for us. We had been exchanging messages all evening as our flight was delayed, and this was not an issue.
The apartment was fully equipped and we could quite easily have cooked had we wanted to. We did not. The apartment is in a great location with loads of bars and restaurants nearby. In fact, everything we wanted to do was in walking distance, albeit some distance at times. Not that this was a problem. There is so much to see and walking the narrow streets was a real joy.
We plan to return to Seville (once is just not enough) and we will certainly be looking to see if we can book the same apartment next time.
