Bartolome’s apartment ticks all of the boxes. It’s a great location, within walking distance of all of the city’s attractions and just a five minute walk from Palma’s transport hub in Plaça d'Espanya, making it easy to get anywhere on the island. On the way to Plaça d'Espanya you will pass the colourful local market, Mercat de L'Olivar, which has a large supermarket above it, so finding food to cook isn’t a problem.
The apartment itself is light, very clean and fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is also larger than it appears in the photos, withe plenty of room for four people. But it is up four flights of stairs, so you need to be reasonably fit or prepared to take it slowly!
There is some street noise, which might be more of an issue in the summer, but that is almost inevitable with such a central location and a small price to pay. The upside is that you can often hear some very good street musicians in Plaça Major.
Bartolome made the whole booking process very easy, was at the apartment to greet us and left us confident that he was only a text away if we had a problem.
Overall, we had a great holiday in Palma and Bartolome’s apartment was an important part of that. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
