Lagos-Piscine et mer- Condominio do Mar

We had an amazing one-month stay here in Lagos. The location of the apartment is excellent. Marina, shops and beach can be reached by foot in 10-15 minutes. Sofia, who checked us in, gave us such a pleasant welcome. She explained everything about the property, the appliances and gave great recommendations for food and drinks in the area. She was also always available whenever we had a question (like when the gas for the hot water and stove shut off after a city-wide power outage). The beds were SO comfortable and we especially liked having a BBQ on the balcony. Also, the WiFi was insanely fast, which is great for us as digital nomads.

If you are not planning to be in bed by 9pm, expect the slightly crazy neighbor from downstairs to harass you. The acoustics of the building are quite bad, so sound travels easily and we were listening to conversations, dog barking and movies around us. Sitting on the balcony and talking in a low voice at night? Forget about it. Even sitting inside, with windows closed and blinds drawn, talking was still too loud for him downstairs. It's a bit of a shame, but really nothing the owners can do about it.

The apartment was perfect for us , the location was brilliant, with shops, bars and beach all just 10 minutes walk

Location was great - close to the beach as well as the Marina and Old Town. The facilities were good and the pool was lovely. A very comfortable apartment with facilities as described. The host was exceptionally responsive when a city water outage affected our apartment. We were moved for two nights to another apartment until the city resolved the issue. It was a relief to have such a fast response from the host.

Good location, 10 min walk to grocery, marina restaurants, train station, 8 min to lovely beach boardwalk. Excellent tv and wifi. When asked, owner and owner’s local agent were responsive and solved problems. Generous size of apartment.

Uncomfortable bed, small uncomfortable bed pillows. Unit was not clean on check in. Vacuum cleaner had no suction. Shower drain clogged on first use. Owner’s agent had shower drain repaired within 36 hours. Owner supplied new vacuum within 72 hours. Poor lighting in kitchen. Washer and dishwasher temperamental to operate. Dog in next door apartment barked frequently, often at 0630 hr. There are 2 full flights of stairs to access unit, not obvious in listing information. There is discarded furniture (broken futon)stored on the balcony - unsightly. There is no shelf in the shower for soap/shampoo.
