Alfonso's apartment is the perfect location from which to explore Seville. It is in the down-to-earth and charming Triana district, on the other side of the river from most of the city's bustling tourist sites. After a day's exploration you can escape back over a bridge and find good places to eat as well as proper local shops— there is a bakery, a greengrocer, a pharmacy and a supermarket, as well as numerous tapas bars and restaurants, all within a few minutes walk of the apartment. But the most important thing to say is that Alfonso is a wonderful host— generous, helpful, full of recommendations, and as we found out when we had the misfortune to contract Covid during our stay, immensely supportive.
