I have just spent a 8 nights in Paco’s lovely apartment. I’m a writer, so it was important that the space was really nice so I could work but also be able to see all the sights. I also wanted to be able to cook and not have to eat out for every meal. Paco’s apartment ticked every box for me including having a lift! Great for luggage and groceries.
On a couple of drizzly days, I stayed in and wrote and read on the comfy sofa; on the sunny days, I hit the town with my camera and explored. Nothing is further than a half hour walk. Apart from getting an Uber to and from the airport, I walked everywhere. The apartment is a bit removed from the main hub, but for me that added to its appeal. You are in a bustling residential area and it’s lovely being able to look out over the square and watch the world go by.
Because the streets are quite labyrinthine (yep, I got lost, repeatedly!), I would recommend a first time visitor start with a couple of attractions closer to the apartment first, such as the exquisite Palacio de las Dueñas (about an 8 minute walk) and Las Setas (wooden structure above Roman ruins) from the top of which for 3 Euros you can get the layout of the city. After that, hit the Real Alcazar, Plaza Espana etc. and don’t forget the smaller museums such as the Flamenco museum.
Whether a solo traveller, couple, couple with a child or two (very) close friends, this is an excellent place to stay to relax and explore Seville.
