Batata - Estúdios

Close to the ocean

Central location, free secure parking provided in a nearby lot Comfortable and clean, though minor issues like coffee machine not working, bed unusually small for two adults

In the interests of full transparency, since the apartments have assigned names on the door, the exact names of the apartment should be provided on the booking.com listing and confirmation. There are two configurations (with varying sizes and amenities) but all simply described as "one bedroom apartment". This would avoid any needless confusion of what was booked vs received. For some inexplicable reason, the manager of the facility was responding on whatsapp (albeit with lags) but unavailable to speak on phone

The apartment was a good size, clean and comfortable and in a good location.

There is no reception as such to check in. We just checked in with the cleaning staff, who didn’t speak very good English. Be prepared for stairs, as there are no lifts, so you may have to carry luggage up a few flights. Unfortunately, there were a few things not working in the apartment during our stay. Coffee machine, washing machine and sink plug didn’t work.

The location was great and walkable to the main strip and beach. Free parking and the apartment was clean.

The apartment was on the 3rd floor and no elevator so hard to get luggage up. The towels/linen were very old and threadbare and as were the pillows too. Stale smell in the room. Property needs maintenance as soap dispenser in shower broken, TV nearly falling off wall, toilet seat broken, no safe in apartment to store passports etc.
