I was in Seville for 3 nights with my husband and 3 friends. We were pleased at how clean and how comfortable Rafael's apartment was. The bathroom in particular was spacious and we could also do some cooking in the kitchen which was well-equipped. Although we didn't get a chance to meet Rafael in person, we were warmly greeted by Pino his housekeeper, who even helped us book taxis for when we leave Seville. We easily communicated via whatsapp and she replied very promptly. The location was also perfect - everything was within walking distance. 10 min walk to the cathedral and Royal Alcazar. About 20-25 min walk to Plaza Espana. 20 min walk to Santa Justa train station.
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Seville and in Rafael's apartment and would love to stay at his place again if we ever came back to Seville.
