This apartment was perfect!!! My partner and I travel often and have always been reluctant to try Airbnb. Many of our friends have used it when we travel together but we always felt that where they have stayed was not as comfortable or as clean as a hotel. For this trip we decided to try the service and I'm glad we did.

BUILDING: From the moment we walked into the building we new it was something different. The whole building has been recently renovated, which makes it stand out from the ones surrounding it, and the amount of effort put on cleanliness, decor, lighting and common areas is clearly evident. The shared roof deck is a nice place to unwind after long days of walking in the city. It has a view of other buildings rooftops and its both relaxing and a good way to meet other people who are staying in the building. They have big umbrellas available in case you need shade from the killer Sevilla sun, as a well as a washer in case you want to do laundry. Make sure to go up there at least once, and on the hour, so you could hear the different bells from the many churches around giving the time in unison.

APARTMENT: Everything they say about the listing is true. The apartment was equipped with everything you need: all the kitchen supplies, extra pillows, storage, even shower gel. Everything inside was new and super clean. The apartment is standard size (for Europe) and it was really really comfortable.

LOCATION: Located in one of the many little streets in Sevilla, the building is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood: walking distance from supermarkets, restaurants, the city center with shopping stores, and tourist attractions. Plaza de Espana, which is must see, is the furthest away (about 30 mins), but you'll run into everything else in between, which makes the walk enjoyable. We took a cab back home from Plaza de Espana just because we are lazy, but you won't need a cab to go anywhere from this apartment. The city's nightlife seems to concentrate in Alameda de Hercules, which is a 5 min walk from the apartment.

OTHER:
We didn't have the pleasure to meet Lola and Manuel, but they arranged her niece Alba to met us in Plaza San Lorenzo--just a couple of feet away from the apartment. She was really nice at explaining everything to us and walked us to the rooftop deck so we could see it. Lola and Manuel were very quick to respond to our questions, answering emails within the hour or even minutes. We asked for an hour more for check out and they gave us more time than we needed.

Overall, staying at Lola and Manuel's was a great experience and we will definitely come back to this place next time we are in Sevilla.
