I was extremely fortunate to have found Elena's place available last minute especially for a place that looked so great in pictures. Elena communicated efficiently and provided me detailed directions. Getting to the apartment was simple but it was a long walk, or a shorter walk depending which bus you choose to take. Her place is inside a gated courtyard that is shared with other small apartments, overall very beautiful and cozy. After two flights of stairs, we met Elena inside the apartment. She provided basic rules and maps which she outlined recommended routes to tour Sevilla. She even gave us a welcoming snack and a bottle of wine. Her kitchen is extremely well equipped; even some spices, oil and coffee were supplied; otherwise, there are two supermarkets nearby. A washer was available and we hung our laundry on the roof top terrace (cute view of Sevilla rooftops). Living room is spacious, too bad there wasn't enough time to lounge around. Overall, our stay couldn't be more perfect; Elena is a perfect host and interior decorator. She was always reachable. I felt like a local living at my apartment. Highly recommended!
