The BEST spot to stay while in Sevilla is the old quarter or the Centro.  Anything near the Cathedral is close enough to walk to pretty much anything.  You might want to stay in Barrio Sta. Cruz, which was my goal for this last trip, but then I found this wonderful, sweet and affordable little apartment across the Avenue from the Cathedral, technically in what is called Arenal, so, just on the other side.  It was still in the historic district, near the bullring, a stone's throw from the Cathedral, and very quiet (except Saturday night, when the flamenco singers were at the bars until about midnight, then things quieted down.)  Go to Sevilla5.com.  They have a wonderful website with LOTs of great, clear, bright photos, and LOTS of good information (and I've lived in Sevilla, so I KNOW when I'm finding new info.)  Click on apartments, and check them out.  Stay in the center of town, close to the Cathedral.  Arfe was the set of apartments we stayed in.  They were darling, nicely and brightly decorated, and you'll see from the description why I liked it so much...I think.  If they have nothing available, there, they have many other buildings available, too.  

¡Buen Viaje!

"For those who want to be near the party, check into the recently opened Casa Sacristía Santa Ana Hotel (Alameda de Hércules 22, 34-954-91-57-22; www.sacristiadesantaana.com). Overlooking La Plaza de la Alameda, the hotel, which was a convent in the 18th century, is a crisp, 25-room country-chic modern establishment popular with the bohemian set. Doubles from 90 euros".

PS It's a pretty compact city, everything is fairly close together
