Looking for any guidance for choosing places to stay at in Seville, Granada and Ronda. We are a party of 4 adults (parents and grand-parents) and 2 kids (Aged 6 and 2)
Seville: 7 nights
Granada: 3 nights
Ronda: 2 nights
Was hoping to do apartment or home rentals in Seville and Granada. A hotel probably at Ronda.
Questions:
1. Any suggestions on which areas/neighborhoods to stay at (easy access to bus stop would be a plus) as we would like to avoid driving if possible.
2. Also how expensive are taxi's in the area? Would that be the best means to transfer from the airport to the apt/home?
3. Any thing else to keep in mind before making the booking.
Thanks in advance.

Sevilla - Barrio de Santa Cruz - it's walking distance to pretty much everything
Granada - city center, as if you stay near the Alhambra, you wouldn't be near much else
Ronda - old town and new town both work as it's so small. Rick Steves' Spain book offers good suggestions in both. It's more of a question of whether you want a guaranteed view outside of your hotel room window.Taxis are affordable in all of the places you mentioned. Will you be taking trains between these cities?

Thanks Courtney for your response.
We were thinking of travelling from Seville to Ronda by bus since that appears to be a shorter trip. Ronda to Granada by train. Have not made the bookings as yet. Have to do that soon.

We stayed in Hotel Anacapri in central Granada. Very nice. About 100 Euros (2 years ago). Easy access to the Alhambra and when there was a countrywide labor strike, we were able to add a 3rd night. Front desk employee was from USA. We were there in November.
