Seville - lodging in summer

We are going to stay in Seville in June and looking for apartment to rent on Airbnb. Some of the apartments have excelent reviews but the apartments have no Airconditioning (only fans). Is that an issue in Seville in summer? Having comfortable night sleep is very important. The same question is for other Spanish cities in our itinerary: Barcelona and Granada,
Thanks in advance.

Dimitry

That is absolutely an issue! Sevilla and Granada are by far the hottest cities in Spain.

And Barcelona tends to be humid.

A/C is not typical in Spain unless you are staying at a hotel. Some professionally operated rental apartments have A/C.

airbnb: when I filter on A/C, a lot of apts with excellent reviews (4 or 5 stars) in different price categories come up.
Otherwise, check out homeaway.co.uk

If no A/C, try to stayin an old building with very thick walls. They keep the buildings cooler.

Do you know how hot it is in Seville in summer? I would think if you did, you'd know if you thought you needed AC or not in that temperature, people vary on their desire for that. I always want it for sleeping when it is over about 85F. Now I've been in Barcelona in July (would never go to Seville in summer) and it isn't that bad compared to many other places, and where I live, because it's on the water. Still, I think it was 90F or more some days. I would only stay in a hotel with AC in that heat, which is easy to do. Seville is about the same as that in June, highs of 90-95 or 30-35C.

So it's up to you, some people don't care about that kind of heat and think it's fine.

In summer high temps in inland southern spain often hit 100 and up to 120 degrees is possible (Seville average high in July is 97). Staying in an apt without excellent AC and a pool is close to madness IMHO.

We have been there twice in April and highs were in the 80s - plenty warm enough for us- and yes, we used AC every night.

Barcelona will likely be less hot - but still IMHO AC is an absolute necessity (and a pool).
