Our stay was lovely, in spite of it being several days shorter than we had hoped due to severe flight delays on our end. I was communicating with Maria, I believe, and was so kind as to even refund the first night we had to miss. Which was so wonderful, because when you’re traveling with two babies and dealing with being stuck in airports for 18 hours it was nice to be relieved of some of the expense of our delays!
The apartment was clean except for a fine film of dust/grime on the floors. We felt very safe at the apartment, especially because of the quiet, historic neighborhood and clean streets, but there are three separate doors to get into the place; one large heavy door just off the street into the courtyard, an iron gate needing a key after that, and the heavy front door with a serious deadbolt. I couldn’t help thinking it was so nice to have such a sense of security, as I often travel alone and as a woman traveling alone I would have slept very soundly here. The apartment perfectly set up, we wanted for nothing during our stay. It’s modern, comfortable and perfectly located in the old quarter. There are several cafes in the very nearby small squares (the squares are lined with orange trees) and many small shops up and down the little streets. The neighborhood is impassable by car. We were lucky enough to find parking on a road about .3 miles away, close by the nearby gardens, to load and unload our luggage and babies.
All in all, a very nice stay in one of Sevilla’s most historic, quiet and beautiful neighborhoods. We plan to return to Sevilla and when we do we will absolutely be checking Ruth’s place for availability!
