This was our first Airbnb experience and we´re probably spoiled for life! Margaret´s room is even better than advertised. From the minute we arrived we felt welcome and it is obvious that Margaret really strives for a high level of quality. The room is clean and has nice little touches like some wine glasses and tea bags. Every morning we were served a homemade breakfast on the patio with a variety of fresh fruit, eggs, cakes, bread, fresh orange juice and coffee/tea. Some nights Margaret would light the candles on the patio, which made it look extra cosy. Whenever we had questions Margaret was more than willing to help us out: whether just discussing the different options or going out of her way to make some phone calls for us. On our first day we stupidly left our car lights on and found the battery dead... Margaret's husband saved our day by giving us a jumpstart, no questions asked. For us personally their two dogs and cat made us feel at home that much more, by greeting us enthusiastically whenever we arrived "home", just like we were part of the family. However, if you don't care much for pets, I'm sure they won't bother you much if you don't give them attention.
Their house is right in the middle of the village, yet the garden is quiet and peaceful and you wouldn't guess the house lies by the main road. There's another room in the back of the garden which may have other guests staying but because of the way the garden and plants are set up , you hardly notice eachother's presence. There's a dipping pool which Margaret will light up for you if you want at night, so you can have a swim under the stars (which are way more visible than at home because of the lack of light pollution!!).
We've tried hard to think of any downside to the room, but honestly have not been able to come up with one.
Consell lies in the middle of the island, which is a perfect start for any daytrip. We've taken trips by car to the west coast, south-west coast, up in the mountain range and the east coast; plus a daytrip to Palma by train which is a breeze since there's a train station on the outskirts of town with frequent train service. But also if you want a day without travelling, you could enjoy yourself in the area, ie. by taking a winetour. There's an excellent vinery a few streets from Margaret's.
All in all a five star plus stay and we would definitely come back if ever returning to Mallorca! Mallorca is a great holiday destination, but for us it had not been the same without Margaret and the great lenghts she goes through to make her guests feel special.
