Thank you so much, Karen.
You are very kind and I'm really happy you had a wonderful time in Lagos.
It was a pleasure to welcome you in Apartment Reconquista.
Until next time! :)
We had two fantastic weeks in Lagos! Pedro was a super nice host, the apartment was incredibly clean! We have nothing to complain about and would recommend it to anyone :)
We so enjoyed this apartment! It was very comfortable, bright, well equipped for a couple or a family, clean, safe, had a lovely large balcony for morning coffee or a glass of wine, and it felt like a home. It was larger than expected with a living room, dining room, and large kitchen. Pedro provided coffee and laundry soap, which we don't usually see. It was perfectly located just outside the old town away from the crowds and noise, but only a 5 minute walk. On a main road with easy access to the highway in/out of town for those with cars. Pedro was a wonderful host, checking in with us during our stay, and providing a lot of instructions both digitally and in writing just inside the door to the apartment for easy access. Check-in was easy, we were met at the apartment and walked through all details. This apartment was recommended to us and we are so glad it was available. It was the perfect choice for us. We highly recommend. Thank you again Pedro.
Amazing location and apartment! Pedro was very welcoming and sharing some recommendations for our trip! Highly recommend staying here. The balconies were wonderful!

What an amazing stay. Owners were very responsive, apartment has everything you need. Owners took time to explain all of the surrounding areas and even provided some goodies from their family owned bakery. Also midway suggested some restaurants they frequent. Could not have had a better experience. Apartment is spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you for an amazing experience for me and my family
Maria Louisa en Pedro zijn hele fijne, betrokken verhuurders. Ze geven bruikbare informatie over Lagos en wat te bezoeken in de omgeving. Het appartement is comfortabel, ruim, schoon en gelegen op een prima locatie. Wij hebben het erg goed naar onze zin gehad en sluiten zeker niet uit om nog een keer terug te gaan.

It's so good that you enjoyed your stay. It makes me very happy. :)
Our family will be at Apartment Reconquista next time to welcome you, of course!
All the Best to you and your family, from Lagos to Deurne.
The location was good. The beds were the most comfortable we had encountered on our Portugal trip. The air conditioning was an added bonus
