Ideal location! Close to everything, cathedral, food, sangria! Manolo picked us up at the bus station and gave us a mini tour of the city on the way to the apartment, highly recommend having him pick you up because the apartment is down an alley that isn’t for cars (just waaaay easier than when you are lugging a toddler and luggage! A taxi to the airport from just down the street from the apartment will cost you 24Euros) Manolo took us to the rooftop to show the view (amazing!) and gave us a quick run down of the apartment, provided maps and food recommendations (many of them we used and would also recommend!) He was also able to book us tickets to a flamenco show that we could take our 15month old to (our son is now mimicking the finger snapping!). Overall, we felt like family coming to visit. He checked in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything during our stay and even had some basic items in the kitchen (I told him to keep the sangria a secret so I could have it all to myself and not have to share with my husband!) There was a small supermarket near that we were able to get some staple items at. Most of the restaurants right by the apartment are more touristy so we did use the recommendation sheet along with trip advisor to find more local places to eat. We stayed over a weekend so there was definitely noise from the street but we were able to shut the windows and sleep through it. There are a lot of steps to go up and down (marble maybe? they were a little slick so be careful!) There is an elevator but the apartment is between 1 and 2 so you either have to go up stairs or down stairs still! The bed in the bedroom is not the most comfortable, I believe another review mentioned that you can feel the springs in it, I almost felt like I was rolling to the edge. That would be something I would suggest an upgrade soon to the apartment. We did not use the pull out couch bed. Everything else was great, hot water, beautiful sunshine from the three balconies, a fantastic host. We will definitely stay here again if we end up back in Sevilla. Manolo has a real love of Sevilla and the minute you meet him, you feel special and cant wait to experience the magic of the city!
