Mercedes apartment is located just behind Plaza de Corts which is in the historical centre, a 5 minute walk from the Cathedral at one end and a 10 minute walk to Plaza de Espanya, the main transport hub at the other. Full of shops and restaurants, and the convenient Mercado at Plaza Mayor a 5 minute walk away meant that we really didn't want for anything. The Hop on Hop off tour bus also had it's first stop a 5 minute walk away and after the first day of figuring out and using local buses, we could very confidently visit Magaluf and also Caves del Drach which was 63 kms away, but easily reachable on a direct Bus 412 at 10:15 at the Estation Intermodal, which again was an easy 10 minute walk across from Plaza D'Espanya. The apartment had all the mod cons including the very welcome washing machine and iron. The only flip side to this great place is that you will have to lug your bags from Plaza de la Cort, near Hotel Mama for a 3 minute walk to the apartment and then up 2 flights of steps as there is no elevator. So only the physically fit or those travelling with smaller strolleys should ideally choose this. But, despite this drawback, we did manage to lug our bigger bags up the stairs and really loved our stay here for it's sheer convenience, comfort and location.
