If you’re looking for local (the sights, the smells, etc.), Adriano’s is the place to go. It’s in the Macarena neighborhood and you won’t see another tourist for quite a ways. My brother and I stayed there for three nights and felt like locals by the end of our stay.

Adriano’s bikes are a great way to get around the city if you get tired or just want a break from walking. There is a trick to getting them in the lift (Adriano’s flat is on the seventh floor) but it’s not a big deal. The beds are normal and the shower is hot. Adriano is a great conversationalist, in Spanish and English. It’s a good base camp from which to see Seville’s sights and its’ natives.
