My boyfriend and I loved Macarena’s place. Very clean, spacious, nice high ceilings, quiet. We never needed to use the lofted upstairs space, but that was a cool extra area to have available. Others mentioned the shower door issue.. yeah it isn’t perfect, but it does close and that was not an issue for us. No issues with hot water or water pressure. This bathroom was large compared to what we had in other airbnbs in Spain.
Bars and restaurants are super close- right outside the apartment building! Major sights are very walkable-we never needed go walk more than 15 minutes or so. We actually never needed public transportation except for getting to/from the train station. We could not have asked for a better location.
Communication with the host was okay. Finding the apartment at first was a little confusing, but after we figured it out the first time, it was easy after that. The layout of the building was a bit odd so we got a little lost (maybe we were just tired from traveling). If you’re someone who gets turned around easily, it might be better to have the host meet you at the outside of the apartment building and show you the actual unit- Macarena and her husband both seem like the type who would do that if it was asked.
Also- the lights in the building’s hallways will turn on at night, you just have to flip the switches in the halls because they automatically turn off after a certain amount of time to save energy. It took us a couple nights to figure that out, haha!
Overall, a lovely stay, and I would definitely recommend this place for your time in Sevilla!
