Thanks to this forum, I have already booked Madrid and Cordoba, now I'm planning Seville and Granada. My wife and I are planning long stays (11 days) in both cities. Due to past bad experiences with AirBnB, I'm looking at rental apartments outside of AirBnB. Any recommendations for quiet, comfortable, clean apartments in both cities would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Booking.com is a good site for apartments in much of Europe.

Apartamentos living Sevilla was great to work with. I would gladly stay with them again.

We have booked apartments in Seville and Granada, for our upcoming October trip, through genteel-home.com. Both of our selections were also available through AirBnB, with Genteel Home as the property manager, however we preferred to book directly with them for a couple of reasons: the apartments were less expensive (no crazy AirBnB fees) and we can pay later (though it's a bit pricier to do so). Both apartments have good reviews, and we are realistic in our expectations.
We've used Air BnB and VRBO for many, many vacations and have never had any issues whatsoever, so if an apartment you fancy is only available through one of those platforms, and the reviews are good and you have good interactions with the hosts prior to booking, I wouldn't hesitate.
Happy planning!

VRBO property # 1698995 in Sevilla. It's tight if you have more than two but great location. We just left there. It's right in the old section. Fantastic location... walkable to everywhere. It's also got a rooftop terrace.

Hi GB. My husband and I have used “Booking.com” with great success in several European countries. We have two booked this autumn as well for stays in Cordoba and Valencia. If you have a Capital One credit card (the one we’re using is the Venture card) and go through their shopping portal to “Booking.com”, you get a 4% statement credit of the booking amount remitted to your Capital One account.
Currently it is 4%. When we booked in April it was 7%. If you use Capital One it pays to take a look.
Hope you have a great trip!

I can't personally vouch for these places since we are still in the planning stages ourselves, but these all get really good reviews on booking.com and TripAdvisor. All are self catering.
