The old axiom “Location, Location, Location” certainly applies to Carlos’ apartment. Literally in the shadow of the bell tower (La Giralda) of the Seville Cathedral, this was both a blessing and a (minor) curse. A blessing because most of the historic / tourist attractions are within a very easy walk from the apartment. A “curse” because the Cathedral bells begin to chime the hour at 4 am, and really go haywire after 8 am, making a late lie-in a challenge! I found the apartment to be very clean and comfortable; I used the kitchen to prepare some meals in, wishing only that there was an oven to supplement the cook-top and microwave. The high ceilings in the apartment seems to amplify the building noises, as I was occasionally disturbed by footfalls etc from the apartment above.
