This was our 4th trip to Sevilla but the first time staying in this part of Sevilla because our business for this trip was very near Nacho’s place. We booked it for a week. For anyone coming to Sevilla for sight seeing, Nacho’s apartment is in the perfect spot. It’s within easy walk of all major sites and in a lovely part of Sevilla. We were really happy in between our business meetings that we could so easily walk to the cathedral, the Alcazar, explore Santa Cruz, and so on. It was also easy for us to walk there from the train station, about 17 minutes. The terrace is also a nice feature and we enjoyed sitting there in the mornings before setting out for the day and in the evenings before or after dinner. It would be nice though, if cushions could be added to the outdoor furniture because they are a very hard fake woven plastic and really uncomfortable after just a few minutes. Also, if you plan to use the kitchen, remember to bring everything with you. The kitchen has absolutely nothing, no cooking oil, no sugar, coffee, or tea leaves, none of the little things you typically find in airbnbs. The apartment is bare in general - the décor lacks that personal touch or cozy feeling you often get with airbnb. The main issue we encountered though was with the check in and we have noticed that unfortunately, we are not the only ones to experience this. Per Nacho’s request, we communicated our train schedule a full week in advance – arriving at the station in Sevilla at 2:30 pm, which would put us right at the 3 pm check in by the time we walked to the apartment. We confirmed all was well when we boarded the train in Madrid and again when the train arrived in Sevilla. However, when we arrived at the building, we waited for about 10 minutes before a young woman let us in. When she finally came down, she was with another young woman, maybe her friend (visible through a glass). The two chatted while we waited outside the locked door. When she finally let us in about 15 minutes after we got there, she first informed us that the lift was broken, so we followed her up the several flights to the top floor. Next, she informed us that we must leave immediately, leave our luggage behind, and return after an hour while the apartment was cleaned. We were coming from 3 flights totaling to a full night of flying without sleep followed immediately by a train ride from Madrid. So, we were exhausted and planned to shower and rest immediately. When I expressed how exhausted we were, she said we could return in 30 minutes instead of 60 if we agreed to use the apartment with the 2nd bedroom not cleaned. She was perfunctory – photographed our passports, pointed to the kitchen and bedrooms without offering any info about anything, and said we must leave the apartment now under her supervision (to make sure we left). If the advertised 3 pm check in was not going to work in spite of advance communication, this should have been communicated to us ahead of time and we would have rested in the airport lounge and taken a later train. In sum, the apartment has a truly excellent location and a nice terrace, but is on the bare side and had a broken lift when we were there. This is not an inexpensive apartment once the typical fees are added so one has to weigh the excellent location among other factors for assessing good value. Above all, a friendlier check in would be desirable and a 3 pm check-in should not turn into 4 pm (after waiting outside, climbing up the stairs and back down, and still asked to walk around outside for 30 minutes after that).
