We had such a great time in Sevilla, and were grateful for Pelayo & his team’s helpful hospitality and orientation to the area. The space was clean, well furnished, and had excellent views of the street and surrounding city from the 4(!) different balconies. There were many restaurants, convenience stores, and other amenities close by. Would definitely stay here again.
A few things to be aware of:
- Lots of stairs! The apartment is at the top floor of a building complex above a very popular square with multiple restaurants that is highly trafficked. The location is super cool, but be prepared to climb between 5-6 flights of stairs with your luggage to get to the space. The stairwell is shared with another, lower apartment and the kitchen of one of the bars below. We didn’t see or run into anyone on the stairs, and had no concerns about security.
- Transportation: There is a metro and lots of buses in Sevilla. You probably don’t need a car to get around town, but the many day trips nearby (Ronda, Cadiz, Malaga, etc. etc.), can make having a car very handy. If driving to the apartment from the airport, be wary of following GPS! We wound up in a street about as wide as a spaghetti noodle and had to be rescued by a very kind local. You will probably want to ask around or research parking ahead of time.
- Parking: there is an underground lot nearby, but the rates to park are very expensive (~25 Euro per day). We opted to park about 1.5 miles away, across the river, at the free lot by the metro station for Blas Infante. About a 25-minute walk, but very simple and pedestrian friendly.
