Alma da Vida Ferragudo

Everything

The only thing would be to have a blind on the windows / doors opposite the kitchen as there’s quite a lot of light come in via the glass at night time .

Location is great, very close to main square & restaurants yet in a quiet area. Very clean.

N/A

The whole thing- the communal courtyard, the apartment itself, spaciousness , cleanliness, modern features and warmth.

All was great. Only the shower drain needs to be fixed )but great otherwise) and also to perhaps add a better feature at the open shower wall so the water doesn’t splash over toward rest of bathroom. Other than that it is a great modern bathroom, very clean. Oh and also please fix the bathroom door handle.

Beautifully decorated

The first room (red room) smelled musty, like mold. The largest issue was there were sheer, one layer curtains on glass French doors that led out to the courtyard. If the light was on in your room and another guest entered through the courtyard door, you could clearly see the path from the bathroom to the bed. In fact you could see a 1/4 of the bed doom the door. As I am a woman traveling by myself, this made me feel very uncomfortable. I contacted the owner and he acted as if I didn’t know what I was talking about. I offered to show him. His response was only hotel guests could get into the courtyard. Well I don’t want hotel guests looking at me either. I was very nice. I asked if I could have some paper and tape or some clothespins and some towels. I was told that I’d be charged for damaging the place. I asked if I could move to another room. He told me he’d charge me a cleaning fee. I told him that was unreasonable. I think feeling safe is the most basic need any owner should be obligated to provide. He ended up letting me change to the yellow room that overlooks the street. It was a beautifully decorated room. My only complaint that there are two French windows overlooking the street. The there are two very steep steps down leading to the windows with no railing at two different places in the room. There is only about a 1.25 M (4ft) clearance between the step and the bathroom. If you were to go from the bed to the bathroom in the middle of the night, it would be extremely easy to fall down the stairs. If you read the manual, there is a fee or ways to reprimand you for any possible situation. It should have been a very good sign on how you would be treated. I would not recommend staying at this place.
