This apartment is in the best possible location to be in the center of the historic/monument area of Seville. It is in the heart of Santa Cruz, the old Jewish neighborhood, right next to the Alcázar and in its own beautiful plaza, filled with shady orange trees. I was there during the orange blossom time, and the smell is heavenly. The plaza gets crowded with tourists during the day, but this apartment is in the rear of the building, so it's quiet and peaceful even when it's busy in the plaza. A private patio open to the sky provides a blissful place to wake up with coffee or relax at the end of the day. Hot water in the shower, a convenient kitchen, perfect for one person for a longer time (I was there for 3.5 weeks on my own) or a couple for a shorter time (my husband joined me for the last week). Irene's extended family members own the building jointly, and you can feel their pride of ownership in the maintenance of the building (some still live there). The beautiful azulejos (antique ceramic tiles) in the entrance hallway make it a classic, historic building of old Seville. Nearby Market Belen is convenient for most food items and open late. Recycling bins nearby make it easy to recycle paper, glass, and plastic. An abundance of restaurants are within a 5-minute walk from the apartment. It's only a 25-minute walk to the train station, if you want to take day trips elsewhere in Andalucía (we went to Cádiz for the day and Córdoba for the day). Highly recommended.
