    No elevator, which is fine with me but for the next person. Room felt claustrophobic and I’m not, just because it’s a dark room and painted in dark colours. It had a skylight but made the room very hot. Thank goodness for the air conditioning! Very clean but needs little sprucing up.

    Location is great. Within short walking distance to cafes/ restaurants, shops, ferry terminal.

    One of the rooms was quite small and bathroom was outside the room. We could distinctly hear the heavy snoozing if our neighbour all night long.

    Close to the Ferry boarding station. We spent there only one night and few hours. The day after our ferry was leaving early. In essence we traded quality for a convenient transfer from one location to the next.

    If you don't speak Portuguese it is very difficult to communicate with the staff. The bed wasn't very comfortable.

    The location is fantastic and the sea facing apartment I had was very spacious. It also had a washing machine and most any appliance you would need for a holiday stay. The shower was great!

    The room I was in could use a fan!

    The room was great but it would be nice to add a fan since my room had a window to the courtyard and there were times when the room was somewhat hot.

    Because the apartment was over the cobblestone street, traffic in the morning was pretty loud.

    Very spacious room in the back on the bottom floor. We put together three apartments, including two bedrooms and a living/dining room and kitchen. Had a washer and dryer.

    The person in charge was not easy to reach or speak with. Even after meeting in person , he was not pleasant. We had a bathroom outside the room we stayed at. The room was very tiny. The price was a bit high for the accommodation. I will not stay here again. I tried negotiating a better room, But he would not budge at all. He never replied to any of my messages.

    The location was at the ocean area and close to restaurants in walking distance.

    There was no WiFi as stated. There wad a fridge but no 'mini bar' (if that's what you're looking for, we didn't mind). It cost 15euro if you need your room cleaned. Also just to note, on the door it says a taxi to the airport is 35euro but we got it at the taxi rank for 14euro.

    The location of the property was great, gorgeous view of Pico from our room. Check in was very easy. Room was comfortable and air was great as it was very warm. Room was basic and had everything what we needed. Staff were really friendly and welcoming.

    Dangerous, a plug was completely unsage. Shame. Unsafe place. Tiny noisy warm place. Unconfortable private bathroom out of the room with no windows that was more a sauna than a bathroom. Staff missing. Bad experience.

    the only positive thing, very nice sea views from window.
