    Peaceful, relaxing and spacious bright base - great for exploring and chilling out

    The shower isn't very powerful, I couldn't wash my hair all week due to poor pressure, it also got cool very quickly. The freezer door is broken and is hanging off and the toilet flush button is missing - both quick and easy fixes. Take your own toiletries. Not a complaint but a full length broom would be great. The lift area is tiny - fine for me but I would say 2 people max in the lift and it's a little scary the first time!

    Situated under 10 mins walk uphill from the numerous beaches, shops, bars, restaurants & bus station in a residential block of apartments. The flat is very light, bright and spacious with all modern facilities. Has a double bed, a small sofa bed, a desk, cable tv, a kitchenette, huge wardrobe and mirror, loads of sockets, great bathroom, lovely terrace that gets the sun from sun rise till after 2pm and a secret back room with a double bed in! The host and the guy who met me at the location and showed me around the flat are brilliant!! both very friendly, professional and quick to respond to any queries. I checked in 4 hrs early, no probs at all!

    - Awful smell from the bathroom, which spread on whole apartment even with closed door. There is no ventilation in bathroom. - frying pan was old and it wasn’t possible to cook anything using it. - in working days it is very loud outside because of close distance to school. - no washing powder for laundry, no salt / oil / etc

    We like the location, it is approximately 600m to the beach. Also we don’t have any problem with Wi-Fi

    We got by. The bed was comfortable. If you want to visit Albufeira, go 2-3 more miles down the road.

    When we were directed to the actual building, I thought we were being scammed. It was so rundown, I thought I was going to actually vomit. The apartment is in what I would call a local neighborhood. -APT. is located atop a steep hill. The town is at the bottom. What there is of the town to enjoy we either found out on our own or from a lovely restauranteur who befriended us. - Elena/"Juan" who claims to be the owner, of the APT. had no recommendations for us at all. -When we arrived we were directed to press the elevator button for the fifth floor it only goes to five, but we still had two flights of stairs to climb. This needs mentioning, especially if someone is older or has mobility issues. -The apartment has a mold issue in the bathroom that both Elena/Juan know about. They told us not to use the A/C, to keep the sliders open, to open the back window (little window) and Juan told me to put dishwashing liquid down the drain every few days and to keep a damp rag over it. We certainly would not have rented if we knew about this. It did not work, and we had to buy a vinegar-based floor cleaner to ensure there was no smell as our APT was a studio. -I had the only piece of real jewelry I own, it was my deceased mother's diamond band stolen. I suggested to Elena that she get a safe. I also have a CZ watch. This went missing and at the end of the day, when we returned, it was on my nightstand. The entire incident was bizarre and led me to inform Elena about the thefts. I suggested she get a safe for guests. -There is not enough hot water in the evening or first thing early in the morning or in the evening for two people to take showers one after the other. -If you are not familiar with an induction cooktop it, requires directions that I suggested be posted. -This host has absolutely no recommendations whatsoever and will not take any recommendations from her guests.

    We arrived early. The cab driver had difficulty finding the property. It was not well marked. I called the contact person Elena to confirm we were in the right place. I told her we were going to just sit and wait until 4:00 PM. Elena informed me the apartment was being cleaned. I told her no problem. Elena called back and stated that the cleaning people were finishing and one would come down to get us. Neither of the cleaning people spoke English, but meeting them was one of the highlights of the trip. They were wonderfully kind people. The woman's husband came to assist us with our bags. However, there were many buildings configured in the little area. Booking.com showed a skyline of building from outside. We had no idea which building we would be entering. It was all so overwhelming. The studio was a cozy and very functional apartment. -On Wednesdays, there is a wonderful fresh market in the morning until around noon. Go down the bottom of the hill and take a right. Keep walking and you will see it on your left. If you have one, bring a bag and/or cooler bag. Then as you walk At the far end of the parking lot heading toward the ocean on your right is a chicken place. They grill other things but get the chicken. You can even take it home and reheat it in a frying pan. It's great. If you do not want to spend all of your money at bars and restaurants, it's cheap enough and goes great with fresh veggies. In the neighborhood, I would also highly recommend 5 stars: Daddy Cools and the Kitchen, the Fresh Market on Wednesday, The Fresh Fish Market (Mondays) the Continente Supermarket, and if you are American and you just like regular coffee, go to the Intermarche Market, get a jar of Nescafe, heat up the water kettle, and if you like half-half and not milk, the Intermarche is where you will find it. It is cold, in the dairy aisle, made by Turim, on the bottom shelf next to the frozen foods in the corner. Enjoy!

    Very inconvenient check in / out times. Location was in a sketchy area, but not too bad. It was ok but waaaay to overpriced for the value (+100€/night).

    Location is relatively close to the beach (15 mins walk). Host was polite. The kitchen is furnished.
