The photos do not do this glorious apartment justice! With incredible double height ceilings, an abundance of natural light, fresh and modern amenities and tasteful decoration, you really couldn’t ask for more. It has great WiFi, and air-conditioning and blockout shades in every room - a must in Seville. The quality of the bed and bathroom linen was top notch. If I had one (tiny) criticism, it would be that the water pressure didn’t quite support the lovely large shower head (but that’s being really picky).
The location is superb - right in the heart of town and a short and beautiful walk to all the major sites. The shops in the area could be seen as a negative or a positive depending on the dent they put in your wallet, and bars and restaurants abound. It’s a pedestrian zone, so you won’t need a car, but if you do have one, there is reasonably priced long term parking less than a 10 minute walk away (and more expensive parking even closer). The area is bustling and buzzy, but the apartment is high enough up that you don’t hear too much noise - and there is a lift to get there.
The highlight though is the host. Pilar is everything an Airbnb host should be. She greeted us as though we were family and went out of her way to help us unload our bags and get them into the apartment. She left wine for my husband and I, and treats for our children. There was milk, water and juice in the fridge and all the basics you’d need when cooking (as well as coffee, tea, shampoo, soap, washing powder, etc). She recommended a number of restaurants for dinner, lunch and breakfast and sent us to some of the best flamenco I have ever seen and for possibly the best meal we had in Spain. In short, her thoughtful touches, exceptional communication (despite us speaking English) and warm approach made our short stay a wonderful one. We only wish we could have spent longer in beautiful Seville. Thank you Pilar - it was a stay we will remember for years to come!
