Great apartment in center of historic Seville.
The apartment itself has a lot of space, with a bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom. The bathroom is small, so the shower area is a bit tight, but that's about the only thing that wasn't perfect. The place was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the kitchen had modern appliances (not that we cooked, with so many great places for tapas !). Importantly, with the heat in Seville, there are 2 air conditioning units, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. So it was no problem quickly cooling down, when it was over 40 degrees celsius some days.
The building is 2 floors up, and my wife was worried, as a lot of the European buildings don't have elevators, and she finds stairs difficult. But this building has an elevator, which can be very useful for bringing up suitcases, or for anyone who has problems with stairs.
Location is about a 7-10 minute walk north of the Cathedral, which is around the center of the city. You can truly walk everywhere, which we did - never once used public transit. In nearby Alfalfa square (1 min. walk down the road), we had amazing tapas at Taberna Alambique -highly recommend it ! And 1 min east of there is Pan y Piu, a great little bakery/cafe, perfect for breakfast.
Beatriz replied to all our questions very quickly, and she was very accommodating, letting us leave our luggage an hour later than check out, providing maps of the city, and arranging a taxi for us to the airport, and even helping with our laundry by doing a load in her own washer and dryer. Since Beatriz lives in an apartment upstairs, there is someone local if any problem.
This is the kind of apartment that really sells me on the Airbnb experience: more space and more amenities than a hotel, for half the cost, and you get to feel you are living like a local, exploring local neighbourhoods. Most of the things you miss by not being in a hotel are not important to us (eg. bellhops, room service, lobby bar), and the money saved can be spent on more travel, or on eating the great local food.
