My husband and I spent an entire month in this apartment and kept saying what a PERFECT place it was from which to experience life in Sevilla, Spain!! The location is truly PERFECT and we remain very glad we "lived" in Plaza Alfalfa area, 1/2 way between Las Setas & the River! The square is family-friendly & lively especially on weekends but the unit (a short walk away from the plaza) was quiet, serene and lovely!! The living room couch worked well as a bed for our adult son the week he visited. And the small pullout underneath would make this suitable for 2 children, if needed. The main bedroom and bath is up a circular staircase, which was just fine for the two of us senior citizens. :) Great shower pressure and pretty spacious bathroom. Kitchen had all we needed, including a washing machine. Clothes dried quickly on the rack they provided upstairs. Outdoor cafes in Alfalfa Plaza (La Estonia and Casa Manolo) quickly became our favorites of all in Old Town Sevilla - inexpensive, GREAT food! The Sangria Cava was DELICIOUS and only found here! Nearby Petra Restaurant was great for fancier meals but required reservations in advance! Cook your own meat at your table there on a hot stone!! :) The neighborhood Pan Y Piu bakery is AWESOME! Two grocery stores were between Alfalfa and our flat. The taxi stop is right there at Alfalfa. Seriously a PERFECT place and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!!! A downside was GETTING THERE at first, with 2 taxis dropping us off at wrong places (TELL THEM ALFALFA PLAZA, then walk) and without a working Spanish SIM card yet, I couldn't call for help. Our manager had left the apartment because we were so late to check in. A nice neighbor happened to see us, know him and connect us by phone so Marcio returned to check us in! Marcio is VERY NICE but the one negative is what I'd call a delay in responsiveness on the part of the landlord(s). I reached out to Marcio a few times with questions or needs. He was helpful when we did connect, but he mostly didn't notice my message or took several days to respond. When I messaged the company, Sevilla Servimiento, they NEVER responded to my messages while we were there. I was willing to keep trying until I did reach Marcio - and again, he was always very pleasant then. As long as you don't need constant support from your host while traveling, this place is really the ideal place to stay and we would ALWAYS recommend staying in Alfalfa, the heart of Old Town Sevilla!!!
