What an amazing stay! Ramon was so nice and helpful. He made us feel right at home, told us about the history of the building and his life in Seville, and it felt like he really was introducing us to this place he grew up. He provided us with a good map, explained Seville geography to us and gave us the lay of the land. He had recommendations for the best places to do everything we wanted to do and had suggestions for things in town that we didn't even know about! A really great local guide! We ended up hanging out with him at the bar around the corner from the apartment and he and his friends were all very nice and welcoming to newcomers. We never ended up meeting Leticia, but I'm sure she's wonderful as well!
The apartment was beautiful! The bedroom was on the corner with bay windows so you never felt left out of the action from the street below. We loved sitting in our living room with the windows open listening to the energy and life float up from the neighborhood. However, if you're concerned about noise, don't be because all you have to do is close the windows and you have a quiet room to relax. The space was clean, well maintained, and comfortable. We didn't use the kitchen too much, but it was well stocked and had we needed to use it, I imagine there would have been no trouble. There's also av terrace on the roof! The location is about 5 minutes away from the cathedral and very close really great tapas bars! (Ramon's friend runs one around the corner!) We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go and never took public transit!
If you come to Seville this is the best place to stay. We're already thinking about when we can get back to Seville and stay at Ramon's amazing apartment again!
