Albufeira Old Town T3 with Balcony

Great location. Clean. Great space. Helpful owner.

The beds were very comfortable and having 2 bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and the property was clean

There was no hot water or extra blankets, both were needed due to the poor weather. Only having 1 window in the entire living space made it very dark

Sehr gefallen hat uns, dass die Unterkunft schön geräumig ist und auch sehr zentrumsnah. Sie bietet alles was man braucht und alles ist in sehr guten Zustand . Alles ist gut fussläufig zu erreichen.

Leider, ist die Wohnung direkt über einer Bar und einem Restaurant. Musik war jeden Abend bis mind. 01:00 Uhr aus allen Boxen zu hören. Es war uns also nicht möglich etwas Ruhe teilweise sogar bis 02:00uhr oder auch Mahnmal sogar später, zu bekommen. Man hatte den Eindruck man sitze noch mit in der Bar;-)) auch die Terrasse war leider gar nicht schön und sauber. Und, und das nur für meinen Geschmack ist die Unterkunft zu dunkel , wenig natürlicher Lichteinfall.

Spacious apartment in the centre of Albufeira old town, reasonably well equipped, with a good size balcony for outdoor eating. Five minutes walk to beaches, and amongst many restaurants, bars, shops, etc

Whilst it was good to be so close to everything, it also meant a lot of noise until late into the night, mainly due to the very loud music from the bar/restaurants underneath, which didn’t stop until around 2 am. The property also needs some maintenance done to it, eg large water leak in ceiling and walls of lounge room has been left unfixed, etc, which is unsightly and unacceptable, given the price charged. However, the biggest issues for us were the lack of information disclosed upfront in the property description and in the pre checkin email sent, plus the incredibly inefficient check in process itself. As instructed, we rang the managing agents 45 mins prior to arrival, so someone could meet us at the property. However, it took us over an hour just to get through to them on the phone, only to find out they’d left the keys on site for a self check in after all. We then had to call them back a number of times, because we couldn’t find the parking, as they failed to tell us the parking is in a totally separate building 200 metres away from the property, and also didn’t tell us what parking spot number to use. Driving around Albufeira is already stressful, and this lack of basic and logical information to enable a smooth check in was annoying and incredibly disappointing. Whilst the property itself was not too bad, we would not rebook due to all the above and the fact that at no time were we offered any apology for the lack of communication or inefficiency.
