Maria's apartment was clean, stylish, quiet and very relaxing. it was nice to sit out on the balcony in the morning with breakfast or in the evening with a beer and some food. Our stay was in October so the pool was "refreshing" -:) but I still managed to get a good swim in. Yes, the apartment is up a very steep hill but we left the car at the bottom of the hill just outside the parking zones and walked from there (just a few minutes into town). There are a couple of supermarkets close by. We had a nice drive to Port de Pollenca and also took the tram to Soller from the port which was great. Port de Soller has a really nice relaxed feel about it at this time of year. it's a perfect place to stay for a relaxing few days.
