We don't know how you become a 'superhost', but it is hard to imagine a more deserving recipient than Pepe. Ours is the same story as related by so many others -- after showing us the apartment, he took us on a fun, relaxed walk through the neighbourhood, introducing us to the trio of wonderful squares, some favourite tapas places, etc. The neighbourhood is as described -- lots of shops (a good bakery and supermarket are within a couple of blocks), coffee and drinks places. It is (nearly) always alive with local folks coming and going. Dos de Mayo is a really good tapas place, but unless you are a sure-footed tapas orderer, get there early (it opens in the evening at 8:30) to allow a bit of time to figure out the choices. It is very crowded later. (If you'd prefer to sit down for a more leisurely meal we'd rec. pizza and pasta at La Piemontessa on Alfonso street.). The walk from Pepe's to the Cathedral and Alcazar is about 15 minutes, but the Bellas Artes is just down the end of the street.

Pepe's apartment was perfect. It is a clean, comfortable,well-designed corner unit with lots of light in the kitchen and living room. It is well equipped, including a washing machine and lots of lines for drying clothes on the rooftop terrace. The apartment is quiet; you do hear neighbourhood people moving along the street below, but there are no pubs or clubs within earshot.

Thanks,Pepe, for making our visit so special. We will definitely want to stay here again when we come back to Sevilla.
