I stayed for 4 nights at Maribel's place and had a great time. Prior to my arrival, she was very responsive and took the initiative to ask what time I was arriving and advised me on the various ways of getting to her place from the airport. She wasn't able to meet me personally when I arrived but arranged for her neighbour to meet me and let me in. She also emailed me all the necessary information e.g. where everything was, and left some very helpful materials about Seville for me, including a map of Seville (that was much more useful than the other tourist maps I accumulated in the course of my time there) and a guidebook to some recommended tapas. She also left me some chocolates by way of a welcoming gift which was greatly appreciated. I didn't meet her personally for a couple of days but she checked in with me regularly via text and email to make sure that everything was alright.

Maribel is an excellent host. She is very warm and friendly and puts much effort into making her guests feel comfortable and at home, including recommending places to eat and flamenco shows. As a previous reviewer noted, she spoke Spanish slowly enough so that I could understand her which was greatly appreciated.

Her flat is also in a great location - it is very central and near to most of the attractions and the shopping district but at the same time is located on a quiet and peaceful street. The street can be very empty at night but it's well-lit and I always felt safe.

I would highly recommend a stay here.

Me gustó mucho esta visita con Maribel y lo recomiendo sumamente. Fue perfecto y no tuve ningún problema. Muchísimas gracias por todo, Maribel!
