We spent a week staying in Manolo's apartment in Seville and it was absolutely fantastic. The location is perfect and the apartment itself is beautifully fitted out. He and his son Manuel gave us a great welcome and the best briefing that we have experienced. They know (and love!) their city and it's food and traditions intimately. We were given an extensive list of their favourite establishments and what is best in each. Manolo kept in regular contact throughout our stay and was always helpful. He is a very warm and friendly host!
Seville is a wonderful place and with the help of Manolo and Manuel we were had a truly authentic and unforgettable experience. There were no tourist traps, just places where you can spend time with the locals enjoying the best that Seville has to offer. It really is very special and we highly recommend staying with Manolo to ensure you get the most out of it (suggest you set aside at least a week!). On the weekend nights the locals do celebrate life into the early hours which does echo in the narrow streets, so a pair of earplugs will help you if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise we suggest having a siesta in the afternoon and joining in the fun! :)
It's a great place and a great apartment. We look forward to coming back one day!
