The location of Manuel's house is excellent, right in the center of historic Sevilla. You are within walking distance to just about anything you could do in old town. Manuel and his sister Sandra were pretty responsive to our needs while we stayed in the home. It does have 3 flights of stairs so your legs will be super toned after you leave. At night the majority of the noise is shut out after you shut the bedroom windows. This area is lively, bustling, and authentic. We would recommend it for short term stays!
