8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Location is fantastic, within striking distance of all the major sights, bars and restaurants we wanted to visit.The apartment itself is comfortable and a great size for 3/4 people. The WiFi is good and we were using 4/5 devices simultaneously. The shower is powerful and responsive. There are several nice touches such as toiletries, and a second toilet that we weren’t expecting.My only area for improvement would be communication although the instructions for check-in were comprehensive, there were other areas where I felt were lacking:*We were told to send details of all guests through the registration form required in Portugal - we spent time trying locate such a form whereas all we needed to do is send our required details to the owner (perhaps an issue with translation) - perhaps amend the instruction to please let me have name address etc etc *The tourist tax must be paid on arrival- but again we weren’t told how to; we left cash which was fine - but to be told just leave cash would have been helpful.*Finally a list of useful information would be helpful (such as nearest bakery etc (the only shop on the street is a little basic and we had to go searching to find some provisions)But all in all an enjoyable stay

Location is superior! Apartment is clean and comfortable, however it’s impossible to sleep. There was noise all nights long and during weekdays there is construction starting at 7am.
