Lovely apartment. Bright, airy, cheerful. The main entrance downstairs is pretty, tiles along the steps and walls, cool, spacious and feels safe, you can wait with your luggage here for taxis, etc. Beware Sevilla has very narrow streets, usually either pedestrian OR vehicles can access the esquinita, not at the same time so watch out for cars and motorbikes.

-Living room with sleeper sofa, two small tables plus a corner chest of drawers filled with extra pillows and blanket)also the dining table place mats are stored in here), WiFi and tv/cable access

-Dining room open and flows into living room, seats six.
LOCATION:
Very quiet area despite being in a lively barrio. Location allows easy access to Seville points of interest from both sides/ways of the street.
-Walk out of the gate and turn LEFT you head to lively Santa Cruz main area - many bars ironically co-existing with almost as many local churches and convents. Do not miss the Plaza Pilatos, a small charming area with the beautiful structure Casa Pilatos and a handful of artisanal shops - highly recommend Arte Sano for quality artisanal fans and jewelry, Pilatos 1 for breezy vacation fashion, Coco Seville for authentic Sevillian tiles. You can also find small grocery stores, convenience stores, bakeries, pharmacies in this area of Santa Cruz.
-Walk out of the gates and turn RIGHT to find main Calle filled with tourist souvenir shops and restaurants leading to Catedral de Seville. This is an easier path to get to the main historical points of attraction, which we only found out the day before we were to leave Sevilla. Avoid the tourist trap shops, and if you must buy souvenirs, do not buy from the first place you stop in - most likely you will find the same if not more selections in all the other shops for lesser price.
