My husband and I stayed in Daniela’s apartment for 3 months, December, January, February and we highly recommend it. Daniela was very helpful with all our questions and responded quickly. We travel often and generally stay in Airbnbs, so have many to compare. We look for accommodations that give us a “sense of place”; when we are in Mallorca we want our surroundings to reflect the local character. Daniela’s apartment met this requirement – in fact it exceeded our expectations, it is clean and as others have said the pictures don’t do it justice. Lovely traditional tiles, wood beams and natural wood shutters complemented the traditional white walls. We appreciated the way that all the modern conveniences in the kitchen and bathroom fit in so well with the traditional atmosphere. We also want some outdoor space – having coffee, reading and sitting in the sun on the terrace in the morning was lovely. An added bonus was the fireplace which made for cozy evenings with a glass of local wine. A welcome fruit basket, a bottle of wine and beer in the refrigerator was much appreciated when we arrived. Although there were a few cold days while we were in Palma we were warm and cozy with the two AC/Heater units in the apartment. Everything was thoughtfully provided; plenty of kitchen utensils, linens, etc. The addition of a washing machine with the bonus of a dryer made life easier. In our three months in Daniela’s apartment we had just two minor issues. In both instances Daniela dealt with the situation very quickly. We were well taken care of. The apartment is on the fourth floor up four flights of stairs so it may not be suitable for someone with knee or back problems. We adjusted rather quickly however and the stairs were not a huge issue with us. The view from the apartment overlooking the red tiled rooftops of Palma was well worth the effort.
Everything we needed was just nearby as the apartment is in the “old city”. The main transportation center for busses and trains was just a short walk and made it easy for us to take day trips to see other lovely areas of Mallorca (be sure to take the train to Soller and the bus to the Deia and Valldemossa market). Although there are also city busses everything in Palma is easily within walking distance from the apartment. There are two large grocery stores nearby (one with fish – meat and vegs market) and lots of restaurants and cafes nearby. Our stay was over Christmas and New Year’s so we enjoyed all the Christmas events; markets, sparkling lights and going to the Cathedral for Christmas Mass. New Year’s Eve brought fireworks which we could see from the apartment. The crowning glory was the 3 Kings parade in January. Should we be able to return to Mallorca we would certainly stay in Daniela’s apartment again.
