Great location at the top of old town. About 2 minutes to the centre of town and about 10 minutes to the marina. The rooftop was a beautiful spot! Light sleepers come prepared - you will hear street noise and seagulls even with the shutters closed. Overall a clean and comfortable stay, would recommend to friends and family.

Thank you so much for staying with us at Casa Machado, Carolyn. We're delighted you enjoyed the rooftop. We appreciate your honest feedback about the street noise as due to the central location even with great windows you will sometimes hear some seagulls. We're glad the location and cleanliness met your expectations. Looking forward to welcome you back soon! Kind regards, Rodrigo | Rental Valley

The apartment is in a great location for access to city center. It was very clean and well stocked. The A/C was a big positive for the hot weather. The 2nd bedroom is in the basement with no windows and a little musty at first. The rooftop is another great amenity for the end of day refreshments. We’d rent here again. Check in requires you to meet the representative, which is easy if flights are on time, but delays lead to waiting.

Great location! Very convenient to restaurants and shops. Parking is about 300m away and free which is nice. Only negative is the beds are a little hard.

Property was in a fantastic central location and the layout was exactly as described. Loved having the laundry and the roof top deck. Beds were comfy and the AC was a must. Check in was tricky because the instructions said to call the host (we didn’t have a working cell phone) but we were able to WhatsApp message instead which was perfect. Some said the property was hard to find but we entered the address in Google Maps and it took us right to the door.

Lots of space for the three of us. We weren't working but a wonderful area for working and such a plus to have the outdoor area. Kitchen large enough to make meals and so close to so many things. We had some issues with the electricity when washing clothes but minor to deal with really. We would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic 3 month stay

The house is ideally located and within walking distance to the beaches, grocery stores, attractions, and so many restaurants. We stayed for 3 months and look forward to returning. The property managers were very accommodating and responsive to our questions.

Great location!

We loved the location and it was wonderful to have access to laundry during our stay. The rooftop was really lovely, as well. The downstairs shower smelled a little musty, and there was some sand where the washing machine was, but otherwise the place was very clean. We would stay here again.

Great location, clean unit, lots of room, 3 bathrooms, beautiful rooftop terrace. Check in was a little challenging, we had to go retrieve the key from the rental office ourselves which was not made clear prior to our arrival (the location of the office was not given until check in time). The downstairs bedroom was a bit damp, musky. Had to complete a few tasks prior to departure including taking out all the garbages and putting them in the municipal bins on the street. However, overall it is great value for the location and nice space.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Mackenzie. We're glad you appreciated the location, spaciousness, and the beautiful rooftop terrace at Casa Machado. We regret that the check-in process and the condition of the downstairs bedroom fell short of your expectations, and we apologize for those inconveniences. Due to the time of your arrival we had to arrange the Check-in differently. Your feedback regarding the key retrieval and the air quality in that room were shared with our team for review.

Oasis in Lagos

What a phenomenal place. If you want to be minutes walk to the life of town center, but also have a quiet oasis when you want to relax, this is the spot. The roof deck was perfect for a late afternoon drink and snacks before dinner. The seafood/sandwich shop literally around the corner is great too. Rent with confidence that what you see is what you’ll get.

Perfect location in Lagos to explore the area. We were always able to find parking near the property. The safe was locked when we arrived. We messaged the host but didn’t receive a reply so we couldn’t use it. The property is beautiful and well appointed.

Absolutely wonderful

This place was amazing. We fell in love with the rooftop terrace. The apartment was in immaculate shape. The inside looks even better than the photos online. It's modern, lots of natural light, comfortable beds, three bathrooms. Also, it's in a perfect location, only a block away from the center of town and two blocks from the marina. I highly recommend this property for a stay in Lagos.

MANY positives and good overall experience

Positives: Nice modern multi-level apartment with good amenities including well-appointed kitchen, nice appliances, washer/dryer, comfortable bedding and nice quality towels. Great location close to MANY shops, restaurants, beaches and attractions. Negatives: A little difficult to find. Hard to drag baggage to location from train station. Would suggest an optional check-in that provides local pick-up and escort to facility for a small upcharge. Bathrooms do not have sufficient exhaust fans to evacuate steam from showers. This made bathrooms "swampy", especially the lower level bedroom/bath combo. Overall we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our Lagos, Portugal experiences. Apartment was very stylish and functional with an excellent location.

Localisation PARFAITE ! Très près des restaurants et plages. Tout peut se faire facilement à pieds mais juste assez éloigné pour ne pas se faire déranger par le nightlife. À noter que comme il s’agit d’un endroit sablonneux, il y a présence de fourmis qui disparaissent dès l’application d’un produit déjà fourni par l’hôte. Également, nous avons remarqué que les drains s’écoulent difficilement et laissent parfois une odeur. Le lavabo au rooftop était bloqué dès notre arrivée ayant de l’eau à l’intérieur pendant tout notre séjour.La climatisation fonctionnait bien, il est super qu’il y ait un module par étage ! Les commodités de cuisine et bbq étaient très variées, nous n’avons manqué de rien. Et que dire du rooftop !!! Vue incroyable, bbq fonctionnel, matériel de patio propre et à notre disposition. Nous reviendrions.

Lob und Kritik

Lob: Die Lage, moderne, hochwertige Renovierung, attraktive Dachterasse. Kritik: Das Schlafzimmer in der untersten Etage war fensterlos und ohne Belüftung. Eine Zumutung!! Die Küche war hochwertig gestaltet, aber: die Austattung mit Töpfen, Geschirr und Besteck war mehr als dürftig. Mit jeweils 4 Einheiten ist die Spülmaschine überflüssig, da Besteck und Gechirr zwischendurch wieder gebraucht wurden und so von Hand gespült werden mussten. Der Hauptpreis geht an die Bratpfanne billigster Machart, Beschichtung durch Reinigungsvorgänge vor längerer Zeit vollständig abgetragen, der Boden war extrem durchgebogen. Angesetzte Speisereste waren sehr unapetitlich!! Die Töpfe waren ähnlich. Die Küchenasstattung steht in keinem Verhältnis zu übrigen Ausstattung. Für wenig Geld wäre dieses unangenehme Erlebnis vermeidbar.

Good Location

The deck is great. The kitchen and living area are spacious. The freezer was clogged with ice and needed to be defrosted. The unit was generally clean but could have been more thoroughly cleaned. Perfect location though. Close to everything.
