The building houses studios and as well as one bedroom apartments. A converted private residence, the owner lives offsite. However, there is an office inside the entrance of the building and an on-site manager is present during week days. He is also available by phone any time and is extremely helpful and accommodating. I booked a studio apartment. However, when I arrived for a three night stay they had an empty one bedroom and I was upgraded for no additional cost.
A compact but full kitchen allows you to prepare your own meals or easily reheat restaurant leftovers. Windows in the bedroom and living area overlook Peral Street.
All rentals here include access to the rooftop terrace which has plenty of comfortable chairs and tables and a view of La Macarena neighborhood rooftops. It is a wonderful spot to get some sun if you are visiting in winter or spring. The historic center of Seville has narrow streets and tall buildings which limit exposure to the sun, good city planning for their hot summers. However, on cooler days it can make for a chilly day of walking.
Feria Street is located two blocks behind the apartment building. It is home to the oldest marketplace of Seville, the Mercado de la Feria. There you can find stalls with vegetables and fruits, fish, a butcher and tapas. It is a lively environment and gives you a real sense of neighborhood life in Seville. There are many other shops, small grocery stores and restaurants located on Feria Street.
A few blocks down Peral Street is The Alameda de Hércules (Hercules mall), or simply La Alameda. It is a lined with restaurants, shops, and residences. The center of the plaza is usually bustling with kids playing ball, lovers strolling and families on outings. Late afternoon and early evening finds the usual local tapas and wine crowds that you experience throughout Seville.
