We stayed in Rafa’s apartment for 1 month in October. The apartment is cosy and had everything we needed for a comfortable long-stay; including lots of kitchen-ware, a smart TV with Netflix/Amazon, a change of sheets/towels, air-con/heating etc. Although small, the apartment is well designed to maximise space. The furnishings are modern but the apartment is situated in a small, pretty collection of traditional houses.
The neighbourhood is local and feels authentic; this area along with the Alameda/Macarena areas became our favourite in Seville. There’s lots of amenities close to the apartment including supermarkets, an organic shop, a great bakery and lots of local tapas bars. The walk to the lovely Macarena area was about 20 minutes, and the walk into the main tourist area of Seville was more around 45-minute, but there’s many pretty sites along the way so this was no problem.
Rafa was an outstanding host, he was always available to help with any questions we had and went out of his way to assist us during our stay, even helping me to get my tennis racket fixed when a string broke. He also welcomed us with a bottle of wine which was a thoughtful and much appreciated touch.
We would not hesitate to stay at Rafa’s again!
