This was a wonderful place to stay. I spent nearly three months here, while on research leave. The room is a really good size, with ample space for all one's things, and a comfortable double bed - and everything was lovely and clean. The private shower room/loo means you can be independent, which was key for me. All the standard things are available in the kitchen (tea, coffee, herbs and spices and oil, use of all kitchen equipment etc) and I was always made to feel really welcome by the family, who are warm and lovely people. There is also a small garden at the back (as well as a terrace at the front), where you can sit and enjoy the sun/shade as and when you want.The house is in Heliopolis, a few kilometres from the centre, but right by most of the university buildings. Everything you need is available on the Avenida de Reina Mercedes, which is 2 minutes from the house. The walks into the centre are beautiful - after 15-20 mins (when you reach the Hospital Fatima), you can either cut through a small park on your left to take you to the river, which you can follow till you get to the Torre del Oro (in the city centre), or you can cut to the right and walk through the stunning Maria Luisa Park, passing the Plaza de Espana, ending up between the Prado de San Sebastian and the old tobacco factory (now part of the university)., which are also in the centre. I walked these every day - it takes about 45 mins but there are load of buses (nos 3 or 34) if walking isn't your thing. Sevilla is stunning - something beautiful to see on nearly every corner and Ana Maria, Manolo and Sara made my stay perfect. Thank you to you all. Un abrazo fuertisimo y espero que nos volvamos a reuinir un dia! Vikki x (y aThor Tambien!!)
