I stayed in John's flat in Puerto Pollenca for 28 days in January, 2021. I must admit I not a "fan" of Airbnb. I rarely find that the hype of the on-line description matches the reality of the property. This implies that value-for-money is generally not good. In addition, most of the properties I have rented are poorly cleaned or not well maintained. The bottom-line is that I only use Airbnb if there are no other options.
Given my “negative” starting position, I am delighted to report that John’s flat is truly an exception to this generalisation. The on-line description is totally accurate—the apartment is exactly as described with no exageration. The price I paid for four weeks was totally reasonable and well below that of properties that looked similar at least according to the information on the website. Plus there were no “add-ons” for weekly cleaning, clean linen etc. It is without doubt the cleanest Airbnb property I have ever rented. I am not exaggerating when I conclude with the single word: “pristine”. The location is excellent, close to what I conclude are both the main places of interests and central amenities. The flat has everything one needs for an enjoyable stay in a very nice part of Mallorca. My advice is both simple and clear: If you can book this flat, then you should.
This said, what makes John’s flat a true “rare find” is John himself. He is a long-time resident of the area. He is also very generous with his advice and time. My feeling is that I you ask him question, and he doesn’t know the answer, what you ask is not worth knowing. Just don’t ask him about Paddy Leigh Fermor!
Am I going back? You bet.
