We had a lovely time as the apartment has superb views, complete with a very friendly seagull! It Is perfectly located as there are lots of restaurants within easy walking distance and the beach is directly in front of the apartment. It is very safe and secure, being 6 floors up. It is also quiet as it is in a pedestrian area and the sound of the waves will send you to sleep.
Whilst not luxurious it is very well appointed, with lots of utensils, crockery and cutlery to use. The dishwasher and washing machine were much appreciated.
The double bed and pillows in the main bedroom are very comfortable, which is not always the case with Portuguese beds. The two bedrooms are compact but well appointed. As there were only two of us we only used the double bedroom.We did not use the air conditioning in the bedrooms so cannot comment on their efficiency.
The bathroom was very clean if a little dated, but water pressure was good in the shower, although a larger shower head would have been appreciated.
The garage, which is about 200 metres or so away and is a reasonable additional cost, is useful as the streets are not easy to park in close to the apartment. Our car was quite difficult to park as it was quite large so, if you are hiring a car, choose a smaller model.
If you want a swish, glamorous apartment this is not for you but if you want a little slice of Portugal with memorable views, try it.
