Macarena's apartment is a comfortable and centrally located place but can be noisy. However, FUTURE TRAVELERS PLEASE BE ADVISED of the following if you are traveling with a car: the husband of the host will attempt to scam you for parking. Macarena's husband welcomed us and suggested we park our car rental in his garage for thirty euros for TWO DAYS rather than use the street parking. We happily took him up on the offer. The second morning, we receive a not-so-happy call from Macarena's husband telling us to immediately remove our car from the garage. We were forced to leave the
Alcazar of Seville within five minutes of entering the palace and had to rush back to the garage. We had waited for over an hour to enter the Alcazar of Seville and had paid entrance fees so that rubbed us off. It gets more absurd from here - upon arriving to the garage, we find that her husband BLOCKED US IN by parking his car in front our car despite there being ample room on the side!!! It took 20 minutes and the five of us to remove our car from the garage. He called shortly after, obviously very surprised we had managed to get out. First of all, the parking transaction occurred separately than the Airbnb transaction for an additional 30 euros where we were guaranteed parking for two days (24 hours). We checked-in our car to the garage around 6:30 P.M. on Wednesday but were told to immediately remove our car from the garage around 1 P.M. on Friday - before the guaranteed 24 hours we had paid for was up. If the check-out time for the car was the same as the Airbnb, it should NOT have been treated as a separate transaction or at least, it should have been communicated to us. In fact, most Airbnbs offer parking if available as part of the booking to its guests. Needless to say, Macarena's husband was attempting to block us in the garage for additional money which isn't any different than a scam. I've always chose Airbnbs over hotels for its hospitality but this experience was far from a nice one.
