Been putting this off since we are traveling and it is hard to carve out time for anything. I have to say we were very disappointed with this apartment. First off I asked before booking-
"What we want is to be right in heart of restaurants, shops, bars, etc. Literally steps away not 10 minutes away, if you can understand."
This apartment is exactly what I did not want. It was walking down dark alleys to get to anything. We did not at all feel safe here. The location is not good. We felt isolated and having to go down an alley in any direction was not what I expected. There were constantly people hanging around from a Hostal across the way that made us feel uncomfortable.
When we arrived the link to the Apartment in maps did not even put us there. Our driver could not find it. It appeared we were on top of it but we were several blocks away. We are traveling for 6 months. We have Many bags and some are very heavy. This apartment is not even on a real street. It is in a walking street only area. You Cannot get to this apartment by car or taxi. It is a 2 block walk to get into this apartment. This was Bad! I had to move all our luggage and grocery things we brought with us from the closest spot available by the car that brought us here.
I almost did not even stay here. I came very close to blowing this off and finding a hotel, taking the money loss of what I already spent, which is what I should have done. Someplace on a actual street not on a walking only street.
This place has a seriously bad ant problem. They invaded our luggage the first night. They are coming from the corner going into the bedroom from the bathroom and are all over the apartment. The first morning they had formed a line around the bedroom and into the kitchen. They were so bad in the bathroom they were all over the toilet every time we went to use it. I went out and brought ant bait and traps. It helped but they were still everywhere.
I am so very unhappy. My wife wanted us to leave that first night. I needed to save the money so we stayed and made the best of things.
This totally soured our Seville experience.
This is NOT a good place to stay for 60+ adults who need to be in a much more accessible location. Maybe for packpackers or 20 somethings who have low expectations?
I Never would have booked this had I known this was not accessible by car or taxi or had I known it was in a double back alley and not close to anything.
This was a terrible experience and not at all what I expected.
