Sra. Marie was in contact with us before we arrived in Seville, and met us at the door of her beautiful apartment when we arrived. Four of traveling drove to Seville in a rental car during the Semana Santa (Easter Holy week) festivities, which meant that many roads in the Medieval city center were closed to traffic. We managed to park very far from the apartment and then walked there without all our gear. Sra. Marie and her husband helped us - far above the normal level of help one could or should expect! - to get our rental car re-parked close enough to the apartment to move all our bags in after only a short carry. After a long day of travel, we really appreciated this tremendous help!

Sra. Marie and her husband explained the ins and outs of the apartment and also gave us some much needed tips on how to navigate during the Semana Santa.

Sra. Marie's apartment is very comfortable, clean, and well appointed in kitchen, bed, and bathroom furnishings. Our two children slept in a separate room with a built-in loft bunk which inspired a huge grin in our son the moment he saw it, and the second twin bed in the alcove beneath the loft was perfect for our daughter. We slept in a comfortable full size bed separated from the living area be a large set of shelves that were an effective partition. We used the fridge (fine), watched TV for about 10 minutes (fine), did not use the stove at all, but really used hot water/shower, which were great. The apartment is on the ground floor, so access was easy through a 'porton' with a huge key on the street and then a second normal door. We all enjoyed the central courtyard of the building which was planted with orange trees, both blooming and bearing during our visit. The perfume of this flowering internal orchard was unforgettable.

The apartment is very well located in an older part of Seville - walking distance to the main city centers like the Metropol Parasol, the Giralda tower and Cathedral, and many other church-centered squares featuring fun outdoor tapas restaurants and bars. In fact, one such lively square was just 30 m down the street from us and accordingly, we spent some time there.

The Semana Santa is a very busy time in Seville, with paseos that go on all night - and several of the processions went right past our door very late in the night. Nonetheless, we had no trouble with noise and were able to sleep soundly.

In short, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sra. Marie's excellent comfortable apartment and we would recommend it, and her, enthusiastically to any group of four travelers.
