there could not possibly be a better place to stay in all of seville. the apartment itself is gorgeous: comfortable, quiet, sparkling clean and outfitted with everything two people traveling light could ever want. the location is ideal, just between the touristy parts and the super-cool parts of town. and rafael was so kind and hospitable, even giving us a ride back to the train station for our return. we spent mornings with coffee and toast and oranges on the rooftop basking in the sunshine, and we spent our last evening with olives and cheese and the wonderful bottle of white wine rafael left for us on the rooftop watching the sun set over the city. after two months in ireland we would have of course loved being in seville no matter where we stayed, but our two nights at "home sweet home" made it all just perfect.
