Alexis & Pepe are wonderful hosts and made us feel at home right from the start. They are both very nice and accessible, and they took us out for a coffee while giving us some recommendations of places to visit, eat and shop.
We had a sixpack of Cruzcampo beer waiting for us in the fridge and when we came back home after hanging a bit with them, we also had a surprise at the door. So nice! Super sweet couple!

As for the apartment, at first looks it seems a bit small for a family but it is so very well organized that a couple with 2 small kids like us will actually fit really nice. It has all the basic stuff a house should have and even some stuff you wouldn't expect! All the appliances needed for cooking, coffee, sugar, salt, olive oil - an extremely essential item for us portuguese, likewise for spanish locals -, etc. We only didn't find any teabags around (which isn't an obligation for the hosts, mind you) and so we bought two small boxes at a supermarket right across the street, so the next guests can enjoy a cup of tea, should they want some late at night or in the morning but don't feel like going outside :)
The house was extremely clean and the overall experience only improves from staying at an hotel, minus the room service, of course.
We didn't get to properly experience the terrace because it is winter and it was very cold outside, but we're sure that it must be very nice in the summer, because Sevilla summers are HOT!

The neighborhood is very interesting - The Macarena barrio -, filled with coffee shops, a 'real' market, all the local stores you can imagine, plus some bars, tapas spots and restaurants in the nearby Alameda de Hercules - a mandatory place to visit. If you like to walk, the usually tourist spots (Cathedral, Alcazar gardens, etc.) are just 20 minutes away.
The Guadalquivir river is also nearby should anyone want to jog or ride a bicycle along its banks. We went for stroll with the kids because the sun was so nice, the we returned to the center for some tapas eating.

So, our highest recommendation goes for this place. Well done Alexis & Pepe, well done! and you can count on us for a visit somewhere next year!

Saludos!
