The apartment is really nice, just like in the pictures, and Grigory and his friend were very nice and helpful. However, the surroundings are rather filthy, with mountains of garbage and dog poop filling the streets, and the building doesn’t share the clean and modern look of the apartment at all. Honestly it feels a bit like a ghetto. The nearby beach, Cala Mayor, is really beautiful, but it’s not really 5 minutes away as we were told, more like 15 minutes of walking uphill and climbing long sets of stairs, which is the last thing you feel like doing after a long hot day at the beach. The supermarkets, bus stops, cafes and restaurants are all quite a long walk away, so anything you want to do, you need to brace yourself for the trip. The historical centre of Palma is around 30 minutes by bus and a cab is around 10-15€. None of these downsides are Grigory’s fault, he did his best to make the apartment as nice and welcoming as possible. All our troubles had to do with the area / how difficult it is to get around. All things considered, we still had a great time in Palma, the apartment was nice and clean, the beach was beautiful and so was the historical centre, once we got there. I would recommend it to someone who doesn’t mind the crudeness of the surroundings and the difficulty of getting around or just has a car. Thanks to Grigory for his kindness, but I think these things need to be said so that people know what they’re buying.
