Hi. Thought i just found a rental but they will only rent weekly in May. Was given this location but don't know where it is in the city. Any help and comments are appreciated.
This is the link with the location (Carlos Cañal st.):

A great location in El Arenal. You're close to the bullring, lots of restauratns and tapas bars and a 10 minute walk to Triana and 10 minutes in the other direction to the Cathedral!

That map confused me for a bit because it is oriented in a difference direction than most maps of Seville (at least that I've seen, usually the river is at the bottom although that is west). It is a very central location, it is in-between plaza Nueva and the river, so not very far from the cathedral, really. It is a very good location, very central, near shopping and sites, etc.

Hi and thanks. i don't want santa cruz area-will this be a bit more of a local neighborhood feel? shopping is not important. i'd love to be in more of a neighborhood when we return home at night - close to good tapas etc.
was originally looking in macarena or san lorenzo-is this a bit more central?

Arenal is more central than Macarena. San Lorenzo is kind of in between. Personally I like El Arenal because I usually travel solo and it's full of tapas bars and places I can hang out and not have to walk far from my hotel late at night. I'd prefer San Lorenzo over Macarena to stay but I enjoy roaming around all these areas!
