Visiting with my wife and two teenage daughters. From hence forward this will be the Air B&B experience against which all others have to measure up to.
The location is just amazing. Ciutudella is a wonderful place with so much culture and food and character and you're right in the middle of it. Half a minute away from a shop for essentials, a minute away from multiple bars, cafes and restaurants and five minutes walk from the harbour. There's even a guy making pizza in the window next to your front door every day. Every time I walked out the door I got a rush of excitement about how perfect and central the flat was.
The flat itself is spotless and has everything you need. Pictures look great and are completely accurate. In particular the AC in both bedrooms was brilliant. Kitchen had everything I needed. Great fridge/freezer, cooker and washing machine.
If you like history, great food, sitting on the street drinking a coffee/beer I can't imagine a better place. Menorca is so small you can travel across it in 45m so despite not being 'central' it's still a great place to explore the rest of the island from. You can hop on the big road than connects the island in a few minutes. Anne left reams of information about the best beaches, food places etc which was also invaluable. We were all gutted to be going home.
Couple of things to note.
- Because the area is pedestrianised if you have a car you need to park 5 minute walk away (and once, when it was busy, 10m walk away). In my opinion this was WELL worth it to be tucked away in the maze of cobbled back streets were cars couldn't access and tapas bars spill their tables out into the street. But I guess this mightn't be for everyone.
- There's everything you need for young kids, stair gates cot etc (we were there with teenagers), but it's A LOT of hard surfaces and stairs. It's not really ideal for high energy toddlers imo.
- They Siesta HARD here. Lot's of stuff closes in the afternoon and opens again 5/6pm. Once we quickly adjusted it was a lovely pace and it really was too hot to be out.
- Finally I brought an HDMI cable to watch stuff from my laptop on the TV. This was invaluable.
