I stayed at Alfalfa for three weeks, the first week with my family of 4 and thereafter on my own. It is located in the best part of Seville, near Plaza Alfalfa, with several tapas restaurants, 2 bakeries, and basic convenience stores nearby. It is a lovely, bustling, authentic area of town that I grew to love the longer I stayed, as is it is not commercialized or super touristy as many of the other areas closer to the cathedral. That said, it is only about 5 - 20 minute walk in any direction to all of the many beautiful sights of Seville. The beds are comfortable, with nice sheets and the apartment has air conditioning units on each floor. The washing machine was a terrific resource and you dry laundry up on the second floor patio (laundry rack provided). The living room/dining area is a comfortable space for 4, although the furniture is worn as others have suggested (table wobbles so is ok for a bowl of cereal; but not to work; brown couch and writing desk chair seats are sunken). Blue couch is comfortable and where I did all my work. There are lovely tall windows for natural light in the living room and good electrical lighting at night. Bedrooms are private and quiet; bathrooms are nice with tub/shower combo. For people with mobility issues, the stairs to the master bedroom/bath/patio are steep though there is a railing. Also the master bath shower has narrow access/requires some level of agility to safely get in/out. We did not have a problem but just be aware. The patio is lovely and has private curtains you can draw when outside — I loved working there at night. The main street leading to the alley of the apartment has several young bars that are very active at night, but you don't hear them from the bedrooms. I found it safe and secure (there are 3 keys to get in - apartment building front door, elevator, and apartment door). Clean sheets and towels are provided once/week; the apartment manager contacts you in advance to arrange. Our apartment support was wonderful - Damián met us on the street when we arrived (he had to wait a bit as Semana Santa was going on and blocked many streets). Damián is very responsive. We had an issue with the upstairs AC the first night, a couple lightbulbs needed replacement, hairdryer was broken — he replaced everything within 24 hours. The kitchen as well appointed with a half size refrigerator (no freezer). We had a beautiful time and I will definitely stay here again! Thank you!
