I should say from the start that a bit of a stressful check in and the inconvenience of a lack of essentials have probably coloured this review and made me a bit less forgiving of things I might otherwise have let go (such as the wobbly dining table, the collapsing clothes rail and the terrible shower). However reading the other reviews it does seem our poor experience at this apartment was a one off and an oversight on the day.
Check in began a couple of days before with a link to a site for me to add my details to ‘save me waiting’(??) I’ve stayed in countless Airbnbs and never had to do this before. It was all a bit confusing and not clear the process was complete so I contacted Magno Apartments to confirm they had everything they needed, let them know our travel plans and arrival time. This info was ignored and I was asked to call when 30 mins away so they could arrange for someone to meet me there. I did this and after a couple of tries the phone was answered and I was told I’d receive a message with details of a key lockbox to check ourselves in. A message came through with useful photos of the location/lockbox and code, but when we arrived there were no keys and the lockbox empty. We contacted the company and received a message to say someone was on their way. A nice, but not very apologetic person from Magno arrived sometime later to handover the keys and decided they now had time to show us the apartment. They told us about the small bottles of complimentary body wash and with an awkward air of generosity advised we were free to use all the coffee - there were just 4 capsules for the whole of our stay.
We were relieved when they left but soon realised apart from these things the apartment was barren. There were no other essential items as described in the listing. Nothing, not even any toilet paper!
We had a message every day from Magno apartments of our stay telling us they were there to help if we needed anything, (although no apology for mix up when we arrived). I’d had enough of them by this point so didn’t mention the lack of essentials, but I did ask if we could extend check out time by an hour on our day of departure - they said no.
As with some of the other reviewer’s comments about the drain smell, we also found this to be the case in the communal hallways and in the bathroom, but not as bad in the apartment itself.
On the noise, we stayed over a weekend and on Fridays and Saturdays until 4-5 am it’s not just a bit noisy, it’s loud, so earplugs are are definitely recommended if you’re used to quiet at lights out (we didn’t have any supplied as someone else as commented). It was quieter on other nights though.
Although I can’t say I’d recommend this place, we did have a good time in Seville and on the positive the apartment was very clean with a very comfortable bed and located in a great lively area with lots of places to eat and drink, a well stocked supermarket less than 2 mins walk away was a life saver and most attractions easily accessible.
