A strong sewage odor forced my wife and me to shorten our month long stay to just 2 nights. We received a refund from Airbnb because of the issue.
The odor was strongest whenever we ran the water and would linger throughout all areas of the apartment and the upstairs outdoor patio for a long time afterwards. We are not sure that the water was safe.
Based on previous reviews - specifically Sylvain in November 2021 - Paula and her team knew about this issue and still proceeded to rent to us.
Upon notifying Paula of the issue, her team replied 3.5 hours later and sent a handyman who was unable to fix the issue.
What else potential guests need to know:
- location of the apartment is great.
- apartment is small and is best suited for a weekend/short stay.
- >200mbps Wifi speed
- bathroom is very small and has privacy issues. Its windows look out to neighboring apartment
- has a nice book of restaurant and activity recommendations
- we initially paid ~$1750 for 4 weeks, including fees. Aside from the sanitation issues, this was not good value. Not terrible, but not good.
- furniture is dated
Overall, there are great places in Sevilla perhaps even offered by Paula and her team. Given the sanitation concerns at this apartment, you should look elsewhere
