My family enjoyed staying at Maria’s place and the warm hospitality extended to us.
The apartment is accurate as described and showed in the pictures. The place reflects the hosts effort to make their guests feel at home. Loved the bathroom tiles and the hanging potted plants is a nice touch. The apartment also has books and information for visitors to read about Seville.
The apartment building has only 4 units and quiet from the hassle and bustle of the the Jewish Quarter. The location is good with access to many attractions, including Santa Cruz itself where the apartment is in. It is just adjacent to one side of Alcazar, 1 km from Plaza de España on the right; to the left is a short walk to Cathedral de Sevilla along which way are many restaurants, tapas bars, shops, flamenco shows etc. Never run out of things to do.
Maria recommended a few very good restaurants for us to explore, even helped us to reserve restaurants that were difficult to get a table for four. The breakfast place she introduced to us gave us our most memorable breakfast in Spain during this trip. Maria helped us to book the best Flamenco show we have ever experienced in Spain to date, fantastic performance by all the dancers, singers and guitarist!
My family especially appreciates and impressed by the service render by the hosts when the washing machine in the apartment broke down. They collected our dirty laundry, had it cleaned and folded, and returned them to us the same day so we could have fresh clothes to wear. Kodos to Maria and her husband!
We look forward to revisiting Seville and hope to stay at Maria’s place again.
