Thanks for the guidance. I have searched by both of those methods. I guess what I am looking for is some collobaration of information. Nothing seems consistant!?!
I have, since posting that, decided on Los Amigos for Madrid, because I found so many positive reviews. But I am still lost on Seville, I have heard many good things about the Hostal Roma but it is out of my price range. And I really want to stay in the Barrio De Santa Cruz area. Anyhow, again, thank you for your guidance, Happy travels!!!
