Antonio and his family were charming and considerate. We immediately felt welcome and at ease. We lived here for two weeks and it felt like a second home. The apartment is quiet, cool, well maintained, comfortable and practical. We ate out well locally and further afield, but the nearby fresh market and supermarket made it easy to balance this with home cooking. Walking is easy. Turn right out of the door, and in a few minutes you in Macarena. The enchanting Palacio de las Dueñas is literally round the corner. In fifteen minutes tops you have the bustling nightlife of Alameda de Hércules. Turn left out of the door and a great Café con leche and a tempting bakery are two minutes away. The pedestrian route to La Giralda, the Cathedral and Royal Alcázar is a fascinating walk through winding streets full of character, interest and quality shops. Take the bikes down the Calle Santiago to the cycle track alongside the Calle Recaredo and you will be in Plaza de España and Parque de María Luisa before you know it. Seville is seriously bike friendly.
