STOP SCROLLING. YOU’VE FOUND YOUR STAY!!
My wife and I stayed in Miguel’s apartment for a week. We booked based on previous reviews regarding him as a host. The hype is true. He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. We have since become firm friends with him and his lovely wife. Most unexpected!
When we arrived, Miguel met us on site and asked if we’d like to have him walk us through the apartment. We gratefully accepted and he took us around. He then showed us a map of the town and pointed out things of interest to us. Then we took a short walk around the streets and Miguel showed us where a few things were. Given that Seville was a last-minute destination for us, this added info was very welcome.
The apartment is located literally one minutes walk from the entrance to Macarena. If you’re unfamiliar with the city, this is at the northern end. Once inside, there’s bars, restaurants etc. We did a lot of walking, but there is a taxi rank at the entrance to Macarena. We used taxis a couple of times and it was cheap; 5€-7€ anywhere in town.
Very close to the apartment is a small supermarket which closes at 10pm daily. There’s also the oldest Churro hut in town - definitely worth a visit!
The apartment is set over two floors, there are bedrooms with bathrooms on both floors. All air-conditioned, very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Waiting for us was an incredibly well-stocked fridge with eggs, bacon, yogurt, fruits, bread, salami, butter, juice, milk, soft drinks, beers, wine etc etc etc. It was truly unbelievable.
Bathrooms, dishwasher and washing machine were equally stocked. We wanted for nothing.
The apartment is set in a small complex of 6. It has a locking door to the common area and then you enter the actual apartment through the front door with a double-bolt locking system. It was very secure.
The location was extremely quiet and peaceful.
On a personal note: on our second night, we locked ourselves out of the apartment. When we returned at 1.15am we realised our error and had no choice but to reach out to Miguel. He rode from his house 15 minutes away to let us in. He is a bloody legend!! He truly cares for his guests. To thank him, we took him and his wife out to see a traditional Flamenco show which he had informed us about… literally in the lane adjacent to the apartment. Incredible experience! 💃
Some people may prefer to stay in the centre of town, but honestly, the silence, the spaciousness and Miguel himself make his apartment an obvious choice. We will most definitely be staying again when we return.
Thank you Miguel & Eva.
