Leonor was very helpful on the run up to our visit. She emailed clearly and directly, without any fuss. I felt relaxed about the process.

We arrived after midnight on a Friday evening (from London, leaving after work) but Leonor was very accommodating, and arranged for a friendly neighbour to let us into the apartment as she was out of town.

The apartment itself was perfect for our needs. It is small, but the upper floor (with large terrace) is great and the area downstairs is ample for holiday morning coffee-making and, we guess, light cooking. It was clean and there were plenty of dishes and towels.

The apartment is very close to the key tourist sights - I'm sure only ten minutes or so to the cathedral and Alcazar - and the area is lively at night. We spent our evenings moving between some of the nicest tapas bars I've been in, and all within ten or fifteen minutes' walk from the apartment's door. Nice places around for breakfast in the morning too.

In short: a clean and welcoming little place, with a fantastic terrace (with views of the Giralda if you're tall enough) and a friendly host. It is probably worth noting that the bathroom isn't the most private of spaces (the door is frosted glass and leaves gaps between it and the frame, then the rest of the apartment is open-plan), which might be a concern if you're particularly bashful in this respect.

Would happily return to Leonor's place, and will be recommending it to friends and family in the future.
