This second floor apartment on a quiet side street near a school in the Macarena district is very nicely decorated, well equipped and comfortable to stay in. The dishwasher and washing machine (latter is hidden in a cupboard on the terrace) are great to have and the outside space was a great bonus too! Note there are 2 flights of stairs (no lift) so bear this in mind if you have heavy or large suitcase. Also you need to take your rubbish out - we found bins and recycling near the old walls not far from the Dia supermarket. Overall we would definitely consider staying here again on a future visit to Seville.
Regarding the immediate area around the apartment there are two small supermarkets within 5 minutes walk - we liked the one near the wholefood bread shop as it sold all sorts of useful things. There is also a little flamenco shop 10 minutes away with a craft beer bar near to it. Lots more shops on Feria. There are some good restaurants in the vicinity too. Macarena is an interesting district with its old walls, several churches to visit, a great food market, a free museum on Moorish architecture (Palacio Marques De la Algaba) next to market. You can buy biscuits from the nuns at the convent of Santa Ines. The Casa Palacio Las Duenas is a lovely house to visit on a sunny day to sit in the peaceful gardens and see inside ground floor rooms, well worth cost of admission
It takes about 30 minutes to walk to cathedral area.
