Pros:
Mireya is a very service-oriented host. When we arrived, the apartment was not ready so she met us in the center of Palma and took our luggage back to the apartment for us so we could enjoy the day. She also gave us rides to town and lots of advice about things to do in Palma. Her daughters were also very helpful.

Getting to/from the center of Palma was not difficult without a car as there is a bus that comes about every 10-15 minutes during the week (#7, Son Xigala).

The apartment was very clean and it is a nice, safe and quiet neighborhood. The shower

There is an Eroski supermarket, bread shop, restaurants and cafes within ten minutes walk of the apartment. A Mercadona is a bit further for which you would need a car.

Not necessarily cons but details of interest:
This apartment is on the ground floor of her home and the outdoor space pictured is the living room and kitchen. Since this area is in the front yard (not back), it lacks a certain level of privacy as people enter and exit through it to get to the house.

For cooking, there is a small induction stove so you can only cook one item of food at a time. To clean the dishes, the only sink is in the bathroom which is kind of problematic if there is any food that gets dropped in the drain.

On some occasions, we would notice items in the kitchen such as the Nespresso machine and electric kettle would be taken upstairs to be used or cleaned. In general this is fine, but as guests, we did expect them to be returned for our use. Instead, we had to go in to her home and get them ourselves.

The family smokes in the home which sometimes gets in to the apartment so if you are sensitive to smoke, this is something to take into consideration. There are also four cats and one dog in the home and the cats are often outdoors in the apartment's living room/kitchen space, which strongly affected my husband, who normally is only sensitive by touching cats.

Overall, we enjoyed the experience. We loved spending a week on the island and having a relaxing place to stay.
