Overall: Fantastic experience, would absolutely book w Fernando again.
Location and safety: I felt super safe and comfortable in the building and the unit. Quiet complex, beautiful and convenient court yard a stones throw away from a grocery store, amazing restaurants, a pharmacy, convenient store, bakery, ice cream shop, and awesome burger joint. The train station is right outside, which is super convenient. 10 minute walk away and your at the absolutely beautiful water and beach. While not everything was perfect (see below), the location and beauty of this place made up for it ten fold.
Space/amenities: What a stunning, clean and (overall) well equipped space. The space was thoughtfully and stylishly decorated. Even had a bottle of wine to greet me as I arrived! I had almost everything I needed for the stay, save for bath soap/hair products and a working washer (or if it was working, I couldn’t figure it out despite finding and reading the English manual online).
Communication: Fernando was friendly and timely with his communication at the beginning of the trip. Overall his communication was solid, as he was quick to communicate, helpful and responsive.
That said, the listing presents the check-in and check-out process inaccurately: this is not a keyless unit. You need to contact Fernando upon arrival to get the key.
Near the end of the trip, I was unable to reach Fernando. It was unclear - no instructions in the listing / manual or provided when he gave me the key at the beginning - about checkout, and despite inquiring about departure and checkout the evening before leaving, my question was never answered.
Also, pro-tip: purchase a SIM card for data at the airport, or there is a phone store in the courtyard that is open until the evening. Most convenience stores should have this. Otherwise, if your roaming doesn’t work - like happened to me, ti my chagrin - it will be tough to use the app to contact Fernando and get inside the unit. Fortunately, if you find yourself dataless when you get to the building, you can purchase 30 minutes of data from the public MEO network in the area for 2€. Saved me.
