Sadly the apartment was not as advertised at all. It was dirty and smelt awful. It was poorly equipped, there is no oven, there is minimal utensils (no scissors for starters) fridge is old, mold around the shower, old shower curtain, the outside oven is unusable. The beds were really uncomfortable and the bedding smelt dreadful. It was damp. The bathroom door keeps expanding and contracting so it's a nightmare to close.
It was advertised as having air con. However when I asked the lady that checked us in about this she said I had to speak to Mario about it. So I did. Firstly I was told there was a malfunction in Ericeira so we couldn't use it. The following day, when I asked where the remote was, I was told it was faulty however he could control it remotely which he did and allowed us to have it on for a couple of hours before it was turned off . The following day I was informed that the previous guests had actually taken the remote. Then apparently a technician had been called because the host couldn't control it remotely and then finally I was told nothing could be done. All very odd and sadly it was really hot and very very uncomfortable. Nothing was offered to help make our stay more comfortable, like fans for example. It ruined our holiday and we were really upset.
When we checked out we weren't even told what to do and never heard from the host, when I messaged him about checking out, so we left they keys inside and shut the front door.
