I cannot rate Puri's apartment and her hospitality any higher than possible: everything was superb, from location to space to proximity to restaurants/cafés to heating/cooling to the beautiful villa as a whole. I spent a month in Seville finishing my PhD dissertation and it was a wonderful break in every way, furthered by Puri's suggestions and generous help. My flight was delayed for 4h so I arrived at midnight, and Purí not only stayed up to let me in but gave me a traditional Spanish dinner of tortilla & gazpacho (plus fresh fruit) when I arrived -- Amazing. Delicious to boot. (I recommend taking a taxi from the airport as it’s tricky to find otherwise if it’s your first time in Seville!) The flat itself is perfect -- meets all your needs (double bed, corner settee, table for 4, microwave, hot plate, kettle, fridge-freezer, variety of dishes & cooking utensils, stocked with sugar, tea, coffee, s & p, olive oil, balsamic vinegar upon arrival. Puri provided all bed linen, table mats, napkins, and 2 tea towels for the kitchen (plus soap, dishcloth, drying rack, etc.) As well as two sets of towels (body, hand towel, face cloth) per person for EACH week (I typically only use one set at home, so this seemed like a total luxury!) as well as ridiculously good-smelling shower wash. I don't know where she finds it, but it was delectable. On my first full day in Seville I was invited to have lunch with Puri and her son in her apartment upstairs, which again featured an array of wonderful Spanish foods. She speaks little English so our communication was mostly done in a Spanish-inflected French, which worked, and she was incredibly responsive over email (an ideal scenario as I spent a lot of my time outside the house, so we could resolve things quickly by text). Because I was staying for the month, Puri also showed me how to use the laundry facilities on the top of the house and to hang my clothes to dry in the wind, a huge bonus as there didn’t seem to be many laundromats around—again, indicative of her wonderful personality and incredibly helpful character! The last week I was there, Puri left for vacation, but her son took over and was impeccably helpful and quickly responsive about any issues. I should also mention the little yet overwhelmingly kind touches they both made to render my stay the best it possible could be -- I mentioned my avid fitness routine, and the first week Puri dropped off a pair of dumbbells so I could lift weights in the flat (!!) and when she left for holidays at the end of the month loaned me her bike for the week :) her son also drove me to the airport for my flight which was wholly unnecessary but deeply appreciated, as it made the departure incredibly easy and stress-free. Finally, in case anyone was wondering about the cons: there is a bit...
