This apartment is incredibly clean, tastefully furnished, in a great location, and hosted by very helpful owners!
APARTMENT: The apartment was spotlessly clean--one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed in. The furniture and decorations were very tasteful and authentic--no Ikea here. The living room was stately and the kitchen had a cool 1950s feel to it. The kitchen had all accessories for daily cooking.
NEIGHBORHOOD: The neighborhood seemed very safe--kids and old folks out on the street during the day/evening. It was very quiet with only some minor road noise from time to time. Parking was free and ample.
VILLAGE: Santa Margalida is a cute little village with a town center--restaurants, grocery stores, an ATM--in short walking distance. It is also a perfect distance from every attraction on the island: The beaches in the southwest and west are 45 minutes to 1 hour, beaches in the northeast and southeast are 30-45 minutes, the northeast beaches are 15-30 minutes, and the north beaches are 15 minutes away. Palma is about 40 min. All of that is to say that it is super easy to access the entire island from this nice, peaceful town. For me, the nicest thing about the location was that we got to see the countryside every day on our way to a new beach/attraction.
HOST: The host was very communicative, very helpful, and very friendly. They even stayed up to midnight waiting us because we had car trouble!
POTENTIAL ISSUES: The only (very minor) issues are that both beds are a bit small and irregularly sized. The large bed is perhaps a bit wider than a US size "full" but also a bit shorter (I'm 180 cm and my feet/head brushed the top/bottom). Also, you might need to purchase some household basics like laundry detergent, dish soap, trash bags, etc. These are minor complaints. The apartment is outstanding!
Altogether, I simply can't recommend this place enough!!!
