The heart of Sevilla
Our family - Minnesotan husband and wife (40s), 2 kids (6 boy, 8 girl), and a family friend from Spain - enjoyed a fantastic stay in this comfortable and convenient apartment in Sevilla. We stayed in July — over 95F degrees (high 30s) — so we appreciated the air conditioning in each of the main rooms. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well appointed.
Communicating with hosts was easy and we had no problems at either check-in or check-out. In fact, their team saved the day when our daughter left a precious item below her bed that we assumed she packed. We were able to meet up a short time later to get it back instead of writing it off as an expensive lesson for our 8 year old.
The neighborhood has breakfast restaurants below and is a short 12 minute walk to the Cathedral and Real Alcazar. A large garden is also very close by.
One challenge not unique to this place - late night garbage pickup can disrupt sleep if you're in bed before 1AM, but you may still be out enjoying Spanish tapas.
No fault to the hosts, but if you drive here, bring a small car, and do park in the Cano y Cueto which is 3 minutes away walking. Put your directions to drive there, because Google thinks you're driving a moped/scooter and sends you down the alleys that are impossible to get through.
Two quick tips: take an afternoon to drive to the Cave of Wonders (Gruta de las maravillas) in Aracena. Amazing! Isla Magíca is a fun spot for an afternoon adventure.
Highly recommend!
