Jose was a perfect host; extremely helpful and considerate; he went above and beyond to make our three day visit blissfully easy and a great success.
Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer at his place in the incredible Seville.
Jose met us outside the garage entrance to his apartment block at our appointed arrival time and having parked the car in the underground car park, we were given a tour of his apartment and rooftop pool area.
Jose pointed out that we were unlikely to need a car during our stay due to the close proximity of all the wonders Seville has to offer. He was right (take heed and save money on car hire).
The apartment was spotlessly clean, neat, comfortable and amply equipped with all necessities required for a family holiday visit. The building itself was very quiet, extremely well maintained and seemed to be home to normal Spanish families. The rooftop pool though compact (yet bigger than it looks on the photos) was a great asset for our two children particularly, but we also availed ourselves of the welcome opportunity to cool down after a long day of sightseeing.
The immediate neighbourhood is charming, non touristy, and has everything you could possibly need - lovely bars, restaurants and tiny tapas places in the nearby market, supermarkets and a plethora of interesting local characters and shops.
The Alcazar, Cathedral and historic centre are a lovely 20/25 minute walk through narrow and intriguing streets, but there is a wonder of some kind to behold every few minutes in Seville. A gem of a gothic church here, a specialist record or beautiful clothes or amazing cake shop there…three days was not enough for us.
To summarise, I slightly regret the moral responsibility of honestly reviewing Jose apartment and Seville generally so positively - because it may mean less availability for our return!
No question was unanswered by Jose and he gave us fabulous recommendations of his favourite bars and restaurants locally.
If you plan to see Seville and there are four of you or less…don’t hesitate to book this apartment!
