Apartment in Beautifully Restored Building in Central Tavira

the kitchen had everything we needed and more, brilliant location for shops and restaurants. could not recommend this property enough

Grand accommodation in great location. Beautifully furnished with well equipped kitchen, quality fittings in bathrooms and strong WiFi and entertainment system...Cleaning prior to occupation could have been better, with dirty floors throughout...Outside spaces were covered in sand, dust and bird droppings which required cleaning before use..The ensuite bathroom on the first floor suffered severe problems with strong sewage smells rendering it unusable. This issue requires immediate attention. With doors closed, this didn't spoil our stay, but would be an issue for larger groups if this room needed to be used.The communications with the host were first class with our reception being in the late evening..I would recommend the accommodation if the sanitary odour issue is resolved.

The property was close to everything. Free parking on the street a few blocks down or by the grocery store not far from the apartment.There is no air conditioning on the main floor. There were fans so we had a good air flow.I would recommend putting a queen bed in the bedroom upstairs. The twin beds were extremely uncomfortable. We just moved downstairs.The apartment is lovely and we had an amazing time.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this listing. First, the listing indicates that the apartment is air conditioned, which was the most important amenity for our family given the extreme heat. This was inaccurate, as only 2 of the 4 bedrooms have a/c and the main living area with the kitchen, living room, and other 2 bedrooms did not. Of the two air conditioners, one was only blowing room temperature air and was unable to cool the room to a comfortable temperature (the other worked fine, so most of us slept in that room). The 2 rooms without a/c had overhead fans, but one was broken. When I reached out to the host, he sent someone to check the a/c and the fan, and he told us she said they were in fine working order (they were not). So, were were left with no air conditioning with daytime temperatures in the high 90s. The other reason I cannot recommend is that the host was extremely uncooperative and disrespectful when I reached out to him. After telling me his representative indicated everything was working fine, he added as a closing note that she told him the apartment was in a "disgusting" state when his she visited. I was shocked at his reply, and requested that he send someone over immediately to inspect the apartment because this was completely false, and the apartment was in the exact condition it was in when we checked in. Not surprisingly, he never replied to my request or sent someone to meet with me. The apartment was a good size and in a great location.
