Juan’s place is in a fantastic location. I couldn’t have asked for better! It is literally three minutes from the Alcazar and the Seville Cathedral. The house is clean and Juan is a great host. He provided a map of Seville and pointed out main attractions, and recommended a tapas bar with delicious food that serves large portions for very affordable prices (Levies Cafe & Bar). I know a bit of Spanish so he spoke clearly and slowly so I could understand, and he repeated anything I didn’t understand in English. This room is great for a solo traveler, and having access to a kitchen was very nice so I could make my own breakfast.
Some details that may be helpful for other visitors:
-The entry to Juan’s place is in an alley off the street, so it took a couple extra minutes to find it.
-There is a school right across from the door (and this bedroom) and you can hear lots of sounds from outside, just like with any of the old buildings in European cities, so bring earplugs to make it easier to sleep.
-This bedroom is the only one on the ground floor, along with the dining room, kitchen, and a tiny bathroom with just a toilet (no sink). The door to the toilet room doesn’t close all the way; you can’t be seen, but you will be heard if someone is nearby while you use the bathroom! The full bathroom is on the 2nd floor (or what’s called the 1st floor in Europe) and is shared with the two bedrooms on that floor - another single room and a double room. Then Juan’s apartment is on the top floor.
-There was a very strong air freshener in the bedroom that I removed because it was too much. If you are sensitive to fragrances, definitely ask Juan to remove that ahead of time before you arrive!
