Alegría Macarena

Alegría Macarena: Andalusia

Located in hip and creative Macarena, the area is surrounded by ancient Moorish walls and home to vibrant-hued traditional Andalusian architecture. You’ll find a range of vintage clothes and bookshops in the vicinity as well as the Mercado de la Feria market hall. There are plenty of tapas bars in the area, too, along with attractions such as the Park of the Perdigones, a seven-minute walk away. Whilst the highlight here is definitely the neighbourhood, inside, there’s a faint nod to Scandi style, and the atrium fills the interiors with natural light, but it’s still fairly compact and basic. We have to say, also, at full capacity two people will be sleeping on a sofa in the living room – so that might not suit everyone.

Home truths:
*Access to this home is via a shared entrance
*Guests three and four would be on a sofa bed in the living room – if you're looking for a home with ample space for socialising, we'd recommend this home for two guests only
*The decor is very simple and generic and the aesthetics are not quite up to Plum Guide's usual standards – we've made an exception to let this one into the collection on account of its cool location in Seville
*There's a free cot and high chair included
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the breakfast bar doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*This home is in a vibrant spot, so noise may be heard
