Abe communicated me ahead of time that his mother would be there to greet us and open the apartment. She was happy to show us around and recommend a tapas restaurant nearby.
The apartment is quite close to the bus station and easy to find. It's enclosed by a big metal gate with lots of plants outside. Then there are huge ancient wooden gates to enter into a lovely courtyard with sitting areas.
The apartment is small but had everything we needed including a kitchen, bathroom with tub and shower, AC in the bedroom upstairs (necessary!), washer, clothesline outside on the front terrace with chairs and table to enjoy when the sun goes down. A portable fan was available too which we used for the living room area. Sevilla is just as hot as in Texas only they are smart enough to take siestas! When we met Abe the next day, he told us of the historical nature of his apartment -- fascinating! He kindly allowed us to keep our bags in the apartment for the afternoon since we had an evening flight. The apartment is quite close to Bella's Artes Museum and Casa de Memorias for a flamenco concert. A map and tourist brochures and books were provided. We never had time to watch the TV!
The only problem we had was sleeping on the sofa bed which needs a more comfortable mattress or foam topper so you do not feel every spring. Be aware that there is street noise and neighbors that may share the courtyard area late in the evening. Earplugs work for me!
Overall, this very unique apartment was such a cool place for me and my two amigas to immerse ourselves in the cultural experience of Sevilla.
