We were in Seville for two nights and overall the stay was pleasant.
PROS:
- Apartment itself was spacious with two bathrooms, there is a door in the back hallway that can essentially make the back room and bathroom an en-suite and an private space away from main living area.
- Location was AMAZING! It was literally in the middle of everything you need! Right by the bull flighting ring and five minute walk to the cathedral and real alcazar. Also some delicious tapas restaurants nearby and great flamenco shows too.
- Strong AC throughout the unit which is crucial even for May (it was around 30-35 degrees everyday).
- The unit overall was very nicely renovated with wood beams on the ceiling in the rooms and modern throughout. It was very clean with shampoo and soap provided. Coffee machine with coffee pods were available as well. The hosts also provided bottles of water in the fridge which was nice.
CONS
- Due to the central location of the apartment, you have to pay for parking at a garage nearby which is totally fine but if you have a lot of luggages, finding temporary parking by the apartment to drop off all the bags may be difficult especially if you arrive on a weekend.
- Noise is also a problem on the weekend. The first night we stayed was a Sunday night and even on the third level we can hear in the front room drunk people singing outside until around 3-4am. Sound proofing within the building is also poor so the room in back was also bothered by noise each time someone walked the stairs or opened/closed a door within the building. If you are a deep sleeper then this wouldn’t be a problem however we were travelling with a baby so that night did not work well for us.
- Beds were not very comfortable.
Side note: FYI the bathrooms each have a hot water tank which supplies hot water for 20 minutes and will require 20 minutes to heat water before it can be used again. This was no problem except we did not know you cannot use the electricity outlets in the bathroom when the water tank is heating water so blow drying my hair after showering caused an electrical short circuit to the entire apartment.
