We enjoyed our stay with Manuela & Ricardo. They were wonderful people. It was like staying with family that we never knew we had in Sevilla! The check in process was very easy; Manuela met us outside the apartment and then Ricardo was kind enough to help us with our luggage up 5 flights of stairs to the apartment. The room is in Manuela's apartment, with a separate private entrance. You open the main door to the apartment and then there is another door to the room. Across the hall is another door where Manuela & Ricardo live. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Manuela even offered to wash our clothes when we checked in as we had already been traveling for 1 week. We didn't need anything washed, but that was a really nice gesture. Ricardo speaks English very well and was able to highlight all the sites of Sevilla on a map. Plus, he also gave us restaurant recommendations which we tried and they were great. Manuela leaves breakfast for her guests in the kitchen, just down the hall from the room. The breakfast was great and included cereal, fruit, cheese, bread, ham, yogurt and cookies. It was a great touch and added to the personal experience. My wife and I would highly recommend staying at Manuela's apartment.
