Blanca's home in Sevilla is an amazing piece of history, the structure and decor made it feel like a wealthy historic house to town, just tucked away in an alley between a few local tapas bars. Spanish style breakfast was included, meats, cheeses, slices of loafed bread, yogurt, granola/oats, Nespresso coffee machine, tea, juices and water. The house is occupied by Blanca and her family on the second story while there are three rooms on the third floor all reserved for Airbnb guests. There is a rooftop that has a nice view of the cathedral in town and a lovely outdoor patio and pool on the first floor. The home felt like a wonderful attraction that we enjoyed soaking up just like the town. The decision to book Blanca’s location was a true bargain.
We were in Sevilla late September and though it was cool compared to the summer heat we still experienced the rooms being a bit warm during the evening when going to bed. There is a standing fan provided in each room and you can open the windows to allow a breeze to pass through. Once both were initiated, I could enjoy the evening. My wife is more sensitive to the temperature and had a more difficult time falling asleep.
I would recommend booking Blanca's home if available, it is a rare find that provides so much opportunity to feel like you are a part of old town Sevilla. We arrived by train and had a taxi drive us to a one-way street into a neighborhood square that brought us within a few blocks from the home. Blanca will instruct you to do the same by navigating to the Plaza De Santa Cruz town square. We then rolled our suitcases along the cobblestone for maybe two minutes before we arrived to the front door, less than 100m. Blanca will message you in the Airbnb app with step-by-step instructions and photos for assistance.
I recommend if you do not have cell service in Europe to by a pay-as-you-go SIMS card from a retailer like the Orange cell company. When we flew into Madrid, we found a shop downtown after taking a train to their city center. Orange had a summer sale promotion where I purchased a SIMS card with 10 GB of data and it came with an additional 10GB, so a total of 20GB for a 13-day trip for $20 Euros. It was well worth the purchase and helped us have data so we could use our phone apps for maps, to navigate the train, roads, and requesting taxis/ubers/lyfts.
