Manuel's apartment was located within a 15 minute walk of 90% of everything you want to see in Seville. There are also many shops and restaurants within a 5-minute walk. The full size refrigerator, microwave and sink allowed us to prepare basic breakfasts in the morning and to store leftover food for snacks later. The apartment was very functional and it was great to have a washing machine inside the apartment (a drying rack and clothespins are provided). We did not meet Manuel but he communicated often, was responsive and provided very informative messages regarding the local area and things to do. We heeded his advice on several things and were not disappointed.
