Travelling alone, I love Airbnbs as this introduces us to local people with local knowledge, and allows conversation. I can ignore the cold shower and wifi drops! I was therefore really taken aback on my 1st day when Luis said it was not his ‘responsibility to recommend restaurants’. He continued with: in Mallorca there ‘is no cheap food’ and that if I wanted to find somewhere I should search online. I’d hoped he could advise if there were near-the-flat options (it’s a 30 min walk to the centre) or if not, where. Googling takes time when there are ‘000s of choices.
I was unnerved by the conversation but I smoothed things over and the remainder of the stay was fine. Someone told me of an area of a few restaurants on the opposite side of the main road near the cathedral which were all cheap (15-20 euros), including an incredible vegan place Ca n’Ella. I’d arrived particularly exhausted, and so this exchange may have affected me more because of this; and Luis has plenty of good reviews.
