From the narrow Mallorcan alley and the crowded caf\u00e9s, it is only a few steps up to the apartment which manages to combine what many would say is the best of both worlds. <\/span>
<\/br>\nOn the outside \u2013 the Spanish charm with small balconies, beautiful shutters and rustic stone walls. On the inside \u2013 newly renovated, Scandinavian style with light hardwood floors and a modern kitchen. It is the home of currency broker Nick Jones, Managing Director at Premier FX.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I have guests visiting I always take a photo of them on this balcony with the church in the background.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Apartment<\/img><\/div><\/div>

The area of Old Town is a throbbing\u00a0part of the city.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Living<\/img><\/div><\/div>

A two bedroom apartment, located close to everything the city has to offer is exactly what Nick was looking for!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-21\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Nick likes having the neighbours close and they invite him to Mallorquin street parties. But it took some time to get used to!<\/p><\/div>\n

The balcony doors are open and you can hear the buzz from down the street. Chatter, laughter and the sound of porcelain coffee cups.
<\/br>\n<\/span>\u2013 You are surrounded by people when you live here. It was a bit of a shock at first when I realised that there are people everywhere, Nick says with a smile. On the streets, on their balconies and terraces, everywhere. But once I got used to it, I loved it!<\/span>
<\/br>\nThe characteristic narrow streets in the <\/span>central part of the Old town<\/a><\/span> really do situate the balconies very close to each other.
<\/br>\n<\/span>\u2013\u00a0It took me a while to get used to it, but now I sometimes stand on the balcony, drinking some wine and having a chat with one of my neighbors across the street.
<\/br>\n<\/span>Nick describes this neighborhood like a tiny village. The people who work here usually live nearby and sometimes they have small street parties and invite him to join.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/img><\/div><\/div>

The corner guest room certainly has an unique charm!<\/p><\/div>\n

From every room there is access to a small balcony or a French balcony which makes the entire flat very luminous.<\/p><\/div>\n

Close to the Palma nightlife <\/b><\/h2>\n

For Nick this part of Palma was the obvious choice to stay in. He wanted to be close to the restaurants and the bars, and within walking distance to his office in La Rambla.
<\/br>\n<\/span>\u2013 The location couldn\u2019t be better for me. Although it can be quite noisy during the day, it is very quiet at night. And if I feel the need for some peace and quiet, I get in my car and drive to some restaurant in the mountains with stunning views.<\/span>
<\/br>\nNick, who is originally from the UK, had been living in Portugal for several years, but after opening a new office in Mallorca in 2013, he decided to make it his permanent home.
<\/br>\n\u2013\u00a0Living in Portugal was different to this. It is beautiful, laid back and relatively quiet. But when I first came to Palma I fell in love with the place and thought \u201cOh yes, I could live here!\u201d<\/span>
<\/br>\nIt is hard not to feel Nick\u2019s enthusiasm when he speaks about Palma. The people, the places, the experiences and the atmosphere.
<\/br>\n<\/span>\u2013\u00a0The city is so full of life. The weather allows you to have more of an \u201coutdoor lifestyle\u201d, and people tend to be more sociable, open and spontaneous.\u00a0<\/span>There are always things to do here, events, festivals and street parties to participate in. The favorites are San Sebastian, when the streets turn into a big barbecue, or The Art Night in Palma.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-11\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Art is a new hobby for Nick and he enjoys buying paintings from local artists.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"The<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Der Essbereich und die K\u00fcche sind leicht vom Wohnzimmer getrennt, vermitteln jedoch das Gef\u00fchl einer offenen K\u00fcche.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Modern<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Wei\u00dfe und moderne K\u00fcche mit einem Hauch mallorquinischem Charme.<\/p><\/div>\n

Kunst und Musik<\/h2>\n

Nick lebt seit 2014 in seiner Wohnung in der Altstadt und hat keine Pl\u00e4ne umzuziehen. 100 Quadratmeter, aufgeteilt auf zwei Schlafzimmer, K\u00fcche und Wohnzimmer passen perfekt zu ihm.
<\/br>\n\u2013 \u201eUnd das ist meine Musikecke\u201c, sagt Nick und zeigt einen seiner Lieblingsteile der Wohnung. Zwei Gitarren, ein Verst\u00e4rker und ein Foto von jungen Rolling Stones an der Wand, signiert vom Fotografen.
<\/br>\n\u2013 \u201eIch liebe Musik wirklich. Dies ist ein Les Paul. Alle meine musikalischen Helden spielten dies. Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin\u2026\u201c<\/p>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-26\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Die Musikecke, ein Lieblingsplatz in der Wohnung.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Nicks<\/img><\/div><\/div>

\u201eIch liebe Musik wirklich. Diese Gitarre ist eine Les Paul. Alle meine musikalischen Helden spielten dies. Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin\u2026 \u201c<\/p><\/div>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-22\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Die Wohnung hat eine sch\u00f6ne offene Atmosph\u00e4re, mit sch\u00f6nen und farbenfrohen Gem\u00e4lden im Gegensatz zu den wei\u00dfen W\u00e4nden und der K\u00fcche.<\/p><\/div>\n

Nicks Interesse an Musik reicht weit zur\u00fcck, aber er entdeckte eine neue Leidenschaft, als er nach Mallorca zog. ART. Eine Ausstellung des lokalen K\u00fcnstlers Andrea Castro f\u00fchrte zu seinem ersten Gem\u00e4ldekauf und er war begeistert.
<\/br>\n\u2013 \u201eIch fing an, Kunst zu lieben! Und das Kunstgef\u00fchl in Palma ist unglaublich.
<\/br>\nUnd egal ob Kunst, Kochen, Weinprobe, Segeln, Wandern \u2026 Mallorca hat es.\u201c<\/p>\n

Nick hat auch ein gro\u00dfes Interesse an Autos, sowohl sch\u00f6nen Klassikern als auch modernen Performance-Autos, und er war begeisert, als er \u201eDriving Mallorca\u201c fand, eine Gruppe von Autoenthusiasten, die sich jede Woche treffen und \u00fcber die Insel fahren.<\/p>\n

\u2013 \u201eEs ist das Beste! Ich liebe Autos und ich liebe Menschen. Ich lebe meinen Traum. Dies ist eine wirklich sch\u00f6ne Insel mit einer pulsierenden und lebhaften Stadt im Sonnenschein. Was will man mehr?\u201c<\/p>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-14\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Nick fand die Wohnung online zur Miete und beeilte sich, sie vor allen anderen zu sehen. Er war einer der ersten, der aus allen renovierten Wohnungen des Geb\u00e4udes eine ausgew\u00e4hlt hat.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Wine\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Eine weitere gro\u00dfartige Sache an Palma: Erschwingliche Weine in jedem Lebensmittelgesch\u00e4ft!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"modern-charm-central-old-town-nick-jones-9\"<\/img><\/div><\/div>

Die Stra\u00dfe unter Nicks Apartment ist sehr charmant mit zwei sch\u00f6nen und beliebten Caf\u00e9s und Bars gleich um die Ecke.<\/p><\/div>\n
