Five stars aren't enough for Jose's lovely apartment. First, the apartment is in a great location -- it is about a 20 minute walk from the places most people will want to visit (the Cathedral, Alcazar, Barrio Santa Cruz, etc.) but the trade-off is that you are staying in a real neighborhood -- and a highly desirable one, full of interesting restaurants, families, and the feeling of a place where people want to live. Second, the apartment itself is like a designer showplace; every detail has been thought through both for appearance and utility. And third, and perhaps most important, you can't find a warmer, kinder, more thoughtful host than Jose. We found the apartment stocked with food and an excellent bottle of wine, and Jose spent close to an hour with us explaining the apartment, giving us restaurant and sightseeing tips, and sharing his enthusiasm for Sevilla. And then he contacted us several times to make sure everything was OK and give us more suggestions! We could only wish we had planned to stay longer so we could take advantage of them.
In short, if you have read this far, you really want to stay here.
