We were a family of 5 at Maria’s apartment. The apt was clean, airy and sunny which we liked very much. It is about 15 mins from town center and we had to change 2 buses to get to the center.

I basically had two concerns about the apt. First, the bathrooms- the bath in the hall has a bad design so the water spills and wets the entire bathroom every time you shower. Also the day before we left, the bathroom started reeking of sewage which made it unusable. The second bath had no anti-slip mat and I slipped and hurt my arm in the shower. Maria did send a mat the same day so this should not be an issue for future guests. She mentioned that Seville has the issue of stink when it gets hot.

Secondly, the kitchen doesn't have enough pots and pans, cutlery and plates, mugs etc. to make a proper meal. The apt lacked little touches like bathroom soap, oil, salt and sugar in the kitchen etc. I believe these thoughtful touches make all the difference in making guests feel at home vs. being in an apt used for commercial renting.
