Spent 5 nights here in April.
PROS:
Location is awesome! Near the river and bridge to Triana, central to so many points of interest! We loved just walking along the river.
It is quite spacious for being in the center of town.
We really appreciated the size, having 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, large dining table, and living area was great for us!
The room with the balcony also had a desk which was great for our college student who had work to do during our time there.
Nice to have a little balcony to see into the street below or just sit in the sun for a bit.
Communication was prompt and Angela met us at the airbnb and was timely, friendly and helpful with a map of Sevilla and some suggestions.
Was not super noisy as the street below is not a busy one.
Again, main attraction here is size and location of the rental!!
Room for improvement:
It is an old unit, so we expected it to feel old, but it wasn't spotless. Some hair found on a couple beds on the sheets and some hair in the tub. Not awful, but not 5 star cleaning.
The metal frame on one of the single beds is detached and falling off the wall and very noisy if you move at all while in bed. I needed to stuff some tissues to keep it from banging.
We had to keep the kitchen counters totally food-free to keep the ants away. We had an empty wine bottle on the counter one night and woke up to many ants. After that we just kept it all very clean and there were only some "scout ants". This is not surprising in a city in an older building. Just keep all sweet things and food containers rinsed and put away!
If you are someone who plans to cook quite a bit, the kitchen is not super well equipped. It is basic enough but we cook and found it sparsely equipped.
It would be nice to have sealed containers for leftovers or for food that has been opened.
The blinds on the bedroom w the balcony was not working. I did tell them this - it was not an issue as the person sleeping there was not bothered by the light in the morning.
Other issue: I understand Airbnb is becoming a business for many people. They buy many properties then hire managers to run them. Airbnb has lost its charm of renting from an individual.
This rental says the host is Domingo. But I never once interacted with Domingo. I interacted with Maria Jesus who then said Gabriel would be taking care of us and sent me his cell number but when I messaged Gabriel he said his partner, Angela would be our contact person. It's a little dizzying - 4 contact people for one rental. Since we were renting 3 different airbnb's during our 2 weeks in Spain, it became harder for me to keep track of who was who.
What matters, of course, is that I always received a reply and someone did meet us there - it's just a little confusing and I don't know who it is who actually does the review on the guest!
Final point is we were happy with this location and would recommend it.
It was our first time to Seville and the location was perfect. (also near the bus station)
We LOVED Seville.
