Alberto was accommodating from the off, making the apartment available for us even though he had someone arriving on the same day we arrived. He gave me advice on how to get into the city and even picked us up from the station. Once in the flat he gave us lots of advice about how to get around and the best attractions to see. We loved Seville, and found plenty to do, but his insider knowledge proved really handy in finding some gems off the main tourist trails.

The flat was great, really nicely decorated, filled with lots of interesting things to read and good art on the walls. The only real drawback I found was that the water heater was rather small and so shower time was limited to about 5 minutes, but in hotter weather with cooler showers this would probably be longer.

The flat's pretty conveniently located, right on a bus route into town (well, 2 actually) and taxis are cheap if you get stuck out late at night. The local neighbourhood is nice too, although it might take British visitors a little while to adapt to Spanish timings and opening hours. The local wholesale market is packed with traders selling a massive range of fresh produce at low prices, well worth going if you can.

In all I'd thoroughly recommend Alberto's flat, and him as a host. He's extremely helpful and unobtrusive. The flat represents excellent value for money and is a great spot from which to explore this wonderful city.
