It's always nice when there are a few things to get you started - tea, sugar, salt, etc. But Sandra even provided some ham and bread, breakfast cereals, fruit and a bottle of wine in the fridge. In every way she is a supreme host, with kindness and great communications.
The accommodation could not be better placed: 5 minutes walk from the cathedral, 3 minutes from an excellent supermarket (El Corte Inglés), and 2 minutes from a tram stop that puts the other sights of Seville's historical centre in easy reach. Good shopping and fine restaurants are just outside the front door.
The apartment faces onto an inner courtyard, providing cool air on hot days, better security, and some relief from the inevitable street noise of such a busy location. It was perfect for our first visit to Seville. If we come back, it will be our first choice.
