This is a gem of an apartment, perfectly located in the city, and Kate's warmth, flexibility and professional hosting really made our stay great! We felt the location was ideal -- cross the street, and you're in the heart of the busy commercial/shopping district and a short (5 minutes or so) walk to the plazas and sights of the old town, with Metropol Parasol literally just a few minutes' walk down the road. However, we found the neighborhood immediately surrounding the apartment, just north of the busier/touristy area, to be filled with local color, much more 'authentic' old-school tapas bars and other great restaurants. So really, it was the best of both worlds.

The apartment itself is comfortable, cozy, and has everything you need -- we particularly appreciated the Nespresso machine and, though we didn't expect to, the space heater provided to warm up the chilly December mornings! As others have mentioned, the bedroom faces a central courtyard so is completely quiet, while the balconies in front open out to the life of the busy street below -- again, best of both worlds.

All through the process, Kate was a dream of a host -- immediately responsive and highly flexible, accommodating our late arrival with keys in a lockbox, and even allowing us to linger until our evening plane as there was no booking for our checkout day -- those little things that really make a difference. She is clearly committed to her guests' enjoyment in Seville, and we were happy to have found her and this apartment!
