Stylish Designer Duplex-3Beds 2Baths-Puerta Carmona Centro

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Sevilla, but this duplex on Calle San Esteban really surprised me – and I mean that in the best way possible. You know how sometimes “designer” just means they threw some IKEA furniture together and called it a day? Not here. The moment you walk up to the first floor (that’s primero for you non-Spanish speakers), you can tell someone actually thought about how people live and move through a space.

The duplex setup is honestly perfect if you’re traveling with friends or family because – and this is key – you can actually spread out without stepping on each other. The three bedrooms are configured so smartly that even when we had six people staying, it never felt cramped. The two bathrooms situation is a godsend, especially in the mornings when everyone’s trying to get ready to hit the Alcázar before the crowds descend. I mean, we’ve all been in those vacation rental situations where there’s one tiny bathroom and… well, you know how that goes.

What really got me though was the location – Calle San Esteban puts you right in the thick of the old town without being on one of those tourist-heavy streets where you can’t sleep because of the tapas crawlers at 2 AM. You’re maybe a four-minute walk from the Cathedral (I timed it because I’m weird like that), but tucked away enough that you feel like you’re living in actual Sevilla, not just visiting it. The street itself has this lovely residential vibe during the day – you’ll see locals heading to the market, kids playing – but it’s quiet enough at night that you can actually sleep with the windows open, which you’ll want to do because the cross-breeze is amazing.

Honestly, the design details are what made this place stick with me. The stairs up to the second level don’t feel cramped like in most duplexes, and whoever picked out the furniture actually understood that travelers need surfaces to put things on – real surfaces, not just one tiny nightstand per room. The kitchen is small but functional (we made breakfast every morning without wanting to kill each other), and there’s enough natural light that you don’t feel like you’re hiding in a cave during Sevilla’s intense afternoon heat.

I’ll be real with you – parking in this part of the old town is basically impossible, so if you’re driving, plan to use one of the public lots nearby and just walk. But that’s true for anywhere in the historic center, and once you’re settled in, you won’t need a car anyway. Everything worth seeing is either walkable or a quick metro ride away. The 9.2 rating doesn’t surprise me at all – it’s one of those places that just works, you know? Like, you’re not spending your vacation dealing with broken shower heads or trying to figure out how to turn on the air conditioning. You can just… be there and enjoy being in one of the most beautiful cities in Spain.

Reviews

• Bartekp84 from Poland – 20 August 2024 (9/10)

  I recently stayed in a two-level apartment in Seville, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. Access to the apartment was very convenient with a secure code system, making check-in a breeze. The location is excellent, placing you right in the heart of the city with easy access to major attractions.
  
  The apartment features high-speed internet and a large TV, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The air conditioning is both efficient and quiet, ensuring a comfortable environment throughout the stay. The space was spotless and beautifully decorated, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.
  
  The kitchen is well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals if you prefer dining in. One of the highlights of the apartment is the rooftop terrace, which offers a lovely view of the city.
  
  Overall, I highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Seville. It combines comfort, convenience, and style in a truly enjoyable way.
  
  What could be improved: Everything is in order. Maybe the terrace could be cleaner and better equipped.

• Miranda from United Kingdom – 21 April 2025 (7/10)

  Fabulous location, close to everything and very central. Main bedroom was very nice with a balcony onto the street. It was nice and quiet inside and a perfect temperature. Tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean.
  
  What could be improved: This apartment is not for young families with children under 6 or for anyone with mobility issues. Steep staircase without any handrail. Difficult to access the property, the doors do not work as described. We waited for some time to get in to the property. Lift was also out of action. Eventually they do help you via WhatsApp but it felt impersonal. The doors are operated by card (which did not work) or via entry code but are terribly fiddly with small knobs which are difficult to turn and open the electronic doors.
  One bedroom has a small double bed is more suited for single person as the bed is against the wall. Apartment suits 4 adults comfortably.

• Chian from France – 22 May 2025 (7/10)

  Good location, everything we visited was within 15 mins walk. Comfortable beds. Apartment design was aesthetically pleasing. Staff was prompt to assist when we had issues.
  
  What could be improved: Our booking details were picked up by scammers and we received multiple WhatsApp messages claiming to be from the hosts a few days before the trip, and they had all the details of our booking though we fortunately did not fall into the trap. Upon arrival, the elevator in the building was not working and so we had to lug our heavy suitcases up and down as it was never fixed across the 4 days we stayed there. Instructions to unlock the door with the code didn’t work and we had to wait for someone to arrive to help. We found the TV remote to not be working, and the two bread toasters in the apartment were faulty as well. Though they were swiftly fixed by the staff, there were too many issues to address upon arrival. There were also not enough plates and cups to rotate with in order to fill and use the dishwasher. All in all still a pleasant stay but could do better with the maintenance and functionality of a living space.

• Douglas from Brazil – 14 June 2025 (10/10)

  Tudo! O lugar é lindo. Tudo perfeito.

• Pau from Spain – 27 April 2025 (10/10)

  Todo. Facilidad en todo. Ademas hay un sitio para desayunar delante buenisimo.

• Igor from Spain – 25 April 2025 (10/10)

  Комфортные апартаменты, расположение, хорошо оборудованная кухня, все есть. На верхнем этаже очень светло. Отдыхали с детьми, переживали за лестницу, но все и тут было в порядке.

• Catherine from Switzerland – 19 December 2024 (9/10)

  L'appartement jouit d'une bonne situation pour visiter la ville, location de vélos à deux pas. Le duplex est bien agencé, la literie de bonne qualité.
  Nous avons passé un agréable séjour et au vu de la température nocturne début décembre, nous étions contents de pouvoir chauffer le duplex.
  Restaurants à quelques minutes de marche.
  
  What could be improved: Il n' y a que 5 chaises pour 6 personnes.
  Il pourrait y avoir un torchon et un essuie- mains dans la cuisine.

• Nathalie from France – 29 October 2024 (9/10)

  Joli appartement , bien placé , propre.
  
  What could be improved: Une chambre un peu petite pour un lit double car pas d’accès sur un côté .
  C’est le seul point négatif .

• Monica from Italy – 24 October 2024 (9/10)

  Posizione strategica, vicina a molte attrazioni /bar/ristoranti/negozietti raggiungibili a piedi.
  Appartamento pulito, ben arredato, letti comodi e con un terrazzino sul tetto, con vista, dal quale vedere un bel tramonto e fare aperitivo.
  La proprietà o chi gestisce l’appartamento, puntuale e disponibile nelle comunicazioni di servizio e di richiesta.
  
  What could be improved: Il sistema per effettuare il check in online di ogni ospite non è molto semplice, soprattutto per inserire i documenti… mi ha aiutato l’assistenza che alla fine ha compilato i moduli al posto mio.

• Monica from Switzerland – 14 October 2024 (10/10)

  Le logement était parfait pour notre groupe de 6 amies.
  La décoration, le confort, l'emplacement, le calme, tout était parfait.
  Un logement à recommander pour un séjour à Séville.
  
  What could be improved: rien
