We had a good stay in the apartment and we cant ask for a more central location. Its centrally located in B. Alto and less than 10 minutes walk to anywhere.
Overall, love the apartment: -
- the whole place is very authentic Portugese with modern interiors.
- the living room is comfy. Love the Sony hi-fi player that connects easily to the phone Bluetooth.
- the dining area is a bit tight but intimate. The table and chairs are chic and comfy for dinner with family and friends.
- The bedroom is relatively small but comfy and the storage is very good!
- The kitchen is very good! Chic and functional. Fully equipped!
- Toilets are basic and clean.
A few set backs as follows: -
- The apartment is located on a back street and not accessible by transport hence need to wheel the luggage thru the pebble streets.
- When we checked in, the temperature begin to plunge to 3 degrees celcius but unfortunately the 2nd bedroom heating was not working and caused the electricity of the house to trip.
-need to prepare own toiletries and they also don't have a dryer.
- the master bedroom is facing pubs so its very noisy till 3am+, not good for light sleepers.
A few tips:-
- Must book the airport pick up. Good rates and good service.
- Must try the excursion tour to the mountains on 4X4 with a "music video" custom made by the tour operator using drones capturing the people, landscape and the ocean! Beautiful! This tour also includes a lunch at a local authentic restaurant! Amazing!
