Where do I begin... We (mom, pop, two teenage sons) arrived in Sevilla after way too many hours of travel, jet lagged, hungry and drained. We arrived a little earlier than expected and David (Ricardo's substitute host) raced to meet us at the apartment. The apartment is in the center of Barrio Santa Cruz, which has more character in one square block than most cities have in their entirety. It's an old building, but once you step into the apartment you're met with light, polished cement floors, clean lines and all modern amenities you could ever wish for. Every detail has been considered to make the guests comfortable: water bottles chilling in the fridge, soft towels, a stocked Nespresso machine, AC/heat, fully stocked kitchen... David gave us an insider's guide to the area, some of his favorite spots in the city. The apartment is close to all the main attractions (Catedral, Giralda, the river walk, Moorish Baths just down the street, museums, phenomenal bars-hit up Bar Alfalfa near Plaza de la Alfalfa, etc) and there are several grocery stores within a two or three minute walk (Supersol and a couple of little fruit grocers). I don't think I can ever go back to staying in a hotel after this experience. It was just perfect for a family vacation... Can't recommend this place enough!
