This was our first experience of airbnb and it couldn't have been better! Manolo greeted us warmly and showed us around the flat when we arrived. He recommended things to do, where to eat and gave us lots of useful tips about the different areas of Seville. He aso booked a table - right at the front - for a flamenco show.

The flat is in a beautiful building with two lovely patios and decorated with traditional tiles. It is really central, only two minutes from the cathedral, so we could go everywhere on foot. On his advice, we didn't go on the 'hop on hop off' bus or book any tours as everything is within easy reach. I walked 35 kms in 3 days, (smartphone app!) but if you are good on foot, it is the best way to get around, absorb the atmosphere and enjoy the sights. We recommend the boat tour, the lovely castle and of course, the breathtaking cathedral. There are lots of lovely little shops too.

The apartment is comfortable with two sofas, colourful cushions, all the kitchen equipment you could possibly need, table linen, a hairdryer in the bathroom, even shower gel and shampoo, a bedroom upstairs, lots of drawer space, flatscreen TV, free wifi. There is a pull out sofa-bed which we used too. Both were comfortable.There was extra quilts, a blanket and pillows available. There were nice little extras like breakfast ingredients, a bottle of sangria and olives. There are numerous leaflets and brochures with information of the area and activities.

It is surprisingly quiet, though it is right in the centre. When I woke up at 8 a.m. I thought it must be a lot earlier, as there wasn't a sound from outside!

Manolo was often in touch via email giving us suggestions of places to go to and restaurants to visit. He said to contact him if we had any questions or there were any problems but there weren't any.
