As first time visitors to Sevilla, we really couldn't have chosen a better located apartment. It's absolutely perfect, in the centre of the oldest part of the city and only a few minutes walk away from the Cathedral and so many wonderful tapas bars.

The apartment is within a well renovated building and is clean, modern and has everything that you need for a few days away. We are a family of four (husband, wife and two boys (22 & 20).

Carmen was always prompt and helpful with any email information requests and kindly arranged a private transfer from the airport (which we would recommend) for 25 euro each way. Although we didn't meet Carmen personally, she had arranged for Jaxier to welcome us and he showed us around and made a number of helpful suggestions for food / drink etc.

Whilst Sevilla is a relatively easy city to explore alone, we pre-booked two guided tours, one focusing on food and the other on drink. On our first afternoon we took the 'Gourmet Tapas tour' with Shawn from Azahar Sevilla (60 euro each) and, on our final night, took the 'Oldest Taverns tour' with Aldara from We love Tapas (55 euro each). Each was exceptional and added immensely to our overall experience, as they exposed us to tapas and bars that we might not otherwise have found or tried and put together food and drink combinations which complimented and enhanced each other.

We would also highly recommend the live Flamenco show at the Museo del Baile Flamenco. I wasn't sure that the boys would be 'up for it', but we were all blown away by the passion and apparent 'authenticity' of the performances.

We all loved Sevilla and will one day return. I would hope that Carmen would let us use her apartment again, certainly we will ask. Personally, I don't think that you can find a better located apartment in any city that we have visited. I would happily highly recommend it to anyone.
