Rocio was an amazingly gracious and caring host. She saved me- another in the old part of town had cancelled the night before and I was arriving in Seville with no place to stay- my train already reserved. I had looked at Rocio's listing before and liked her pink and polka dot style (I'm an artist- I appreciate real flair). I sent a request with a note that I was stranded, a bit desperate, and to top it all off- mostly unable to get wifi so- flying in hot, as it were. She brilliantly accepted, making the very good judgement call after she couldn't reach me that I would want the room even though she couldn't let me in until she got off work. When I got off the train and found a cafe with wifi, I was relieved both to have the room, and that she was quick to respond with her phone number and good directions. She rushed home so I could get in, and took me to the grocery store and pointed out conveniences of the neighborhood. It is a clean, safe, quite neighborhood where the real people of Seville live, and a healthy walk or cheap cab ride into the tourist area. The other gal there was a long-term boarder from Japan studying flamenco- she was super sweet too and the whole atmosphere one of just hanging with the girls. It's not fancy and it's not cliche- it is a real, warm, friendly experience of Seville- and you'll get a better night's sleep then if you're rooming over a tapas bar. Not least, Rocio speaks a fair bit of english, and the room is flamenco-dormitory cute.
