Impressive historical building, Great location, clean room, rich breakfast Somehow the bathroom floor is watery plus the fan doesn’t work. The bathroom turned to be very damp

AZZ Sevilla Torre de la Plata
Clean apartment. Kitchen has all utensils for cooking but no napkins or any ingredients to cook with. The building has an odd smell but not the room. Getting across de courtyard with suitcases is troublesome. Close to many of the tourist attractions of Seville.
