While all of my airbnb experiences have been good, there are some that stand out as exceptional. George and Lisa's house in Alcudia definitely falls squarely into the "exceptional" category. From the moment you make your reservation, George is quick to send a welcome greeting and he continues to stay in touch (as much or as little as needed) right up until you arrive, ensuring you have all the information you need for a smooth check-in. In our case, we were coming by car from Palma. George sent us detailed directions in advance, including a map to the house. When we got a bit turned around upon entering Alcudia, he met us at our car within minutes and directed us to the house and then to near-by parking. On the matter of parking: as George will point out, you may get lucky and find space right outside the house. If not, a convenient parking lot is literally 5 minutes away just outside the walls of the town. For perspective: the entire town is very small and can be walked from one end to the other in about 10 minutes, so everything is within reach. The house itself is exactly as depicted in the photos. One thing that cannot come across in pictures is how remarkably cozy and charming it feels when you're inside. The beds were comfortable, all the amenities worked well (hot water, wifi, well-appointed kitchen, etc), and it was clean, bright and had plenty of space and is in a prime location to explore the town. George and Lisa had bottled water, orange juice and a chilled bottle of Cava waiting for us upon arrival – a really nice touch! We enjoyed the Cava (and the sensational sunsets) on the marvelous rooftop patio overlooking the town towards the sea. I already referenced George and Lisa's hospitality and attentiveness but must stress that, as hosts, they are the secret ingredient to making your stay absolutely unforgettable. George took time to acquaint us with the town and the area – showing us points of interest on maps that he provided, gave us directions to some gorgeous near-by beaches/coves (some of the best swimming spots we enjoyed on the island!), made great restaurant recommendations and provided helpful tips about other aspects of Mallorca. If you're looking for an alternative to a hotel and want to stay like a local, in a charming town and in a unique and lovely accommodation – with hosts that welcome you like family – then look no further than George and Lisa's place. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our time in Mallorca.
