The apartment is located just outside central Palma, making it very easy to access Palma and the nicer nearby beaches (for example in Portals Nous and Palmanova) by bus, as well as the airport (by taxi, cost approx. 20-25 euros). There is also a small local shop just round the corner, and a larger supermarket (“Mercadonna”) a few minutes away.
The area local to the apartment is not the nicest of areas, although the people in the block seemed quite friendly, the building seemed quite untidy and unkept. For example, one day there was urine in the elevator, and on another day we were woken up in the early hours of the morning (4-5am) by noise coming from inside the block of flats.
In terms of the apartment itself, it was very clean, tidy and well equipped, however we were not shown all of the available amenities which were available to us, which was a shame considering there were items that we would have used, had we known about them.
The balcony and the view from the studio were absolutely beautiful. The balcony was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a glass of wine after dinner.
The style of the apartment is very modern, it is equipped with a Samsung Smart TV, which is a big bonus for Netflix fans. The bathroom is also worth mentioning, as it’s very stylish and again, well equipped with a hair dryer, shower mat and face towels.
Stella is a great host, and she is easy to access via text message and always replies within 10 minutes. She also allowed us to check-in early, which was a bonus considering our flight was a morning one.
Advice: When being dropped of by a taxi, make sure your driver has, in fact, taken you to the correct destination. Although we showed our driver the exact address on the Airbnb app, we got dropped off around 20 minutes away from the studio, and had to get a bus to Stella’s.
