Les points forts : Propreté, arrivée, communication et emplacement
wonderful location in Sevilla with plenty of old charm
Matthias communicates very quickly and well via messaging. He was flexible and understanding when we needed to change dates due to the raging Covid pandemic. He writes English very comfortably and fluently. We didn't meet him personally; he has a friend who manages cleaning the property.
The location is really perfect-- over a high end pedestrian street that quiets down very quickly in the evening-- and in any case you are high enough above the street that noise is minimal. The flat is with in easy walk of almost everything you would want to do in Sevilla-- just a few blocks from the cathedral.
The flat is the only property at the address-- no one else is using your front door. As other reviewers have noted, there are lots of steps up to the apartment, including an old metal spiral staircase. It isn't a big deal at all. Any adult in decent shape won't have a problem with the climb. But it definitely isn't a place for small children or adults with mobility issues.
The flat itself shows its age, with some chipped tiles and some floors that aren't flush. It was acceptably clean and for those who like a "real home" perfectly nice. It's quite spacious for two couples or a family of four. The bathroom has been partially renovated in a more modern style. The A/C and hot water worked great. I wouldn't describe it as modern luxury, but I found it charming and delightful. The second bedroom is one floor up the spiral staircase, next to a roof deck, which has no view but is very pleasantly shaded and decorated with plants. We had a great lunch there-- in early July.
The dishwasher had some minor problems running (its a similar model to one we have at home that had the same problem). The double bed in the main bedroom was outfitted with two single sheets, rather than a double-sized sheet.
Despite the VRBO listing, there is NO laundry on the property.
In summary, this is a great place to stay in Sevilla. I would stay again.
