We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was lovely--just as described and the view over Old Palma from the little balcony was enchanting. It's on a quiet street, but within very short walking distance to all the shopping, restaurants, tourist sites (i.e. the cathedral and palace) and twisting lanes of Old Palma. Carlota's brother, Alfaro, was there to greet us and help us get settled. He had wonderful advice about the best beaches, local restaurants, and the local market (with fresh local produce, cheeses, meats, and wines) that was literally around the corner. We rented a car (which I highly recommend) and enjoyed some lovely day trips to other towns and less crowded beaches around the island, the caves, etc. Everything is within an hour driving on the island. Alfaro was quick to respond to all of our questions and we even had the pleasure of meeting Carlota's dad, who brought us the garage door opener when we decided to rent the car. We felt very welcomed and had a wonderful stay!
