Flat and the location is good and I don't have anything negative against it. I have negative opinion about the owner. We chose this place just some hours before check in so we understand that maybe they need some time for clean it up and prepar for us. We agree to arrive at 19:00. Then we get a message with Check in instructions: To open garage door that is to the right of the building entrance, lift the cover to the mail slot of Apt 2Dt. A garage door remote is fastened to the left sidewalk of the mailbox. Press the lower front button which is marked “A”. The garage door will open. Your parking spot is the third space. When you enter the garage, you will go down a ramp past a metal grate gate. Just past the gate, to your left, in the corner halfway up the wall you will see a small black box. Remove the cover and you will see the keypad on which you can enter the code. Key in the code then press “Open”. The case will open and you can retrieve the keys to the apartment. Please re-enter the code and close the box before replacing the cover. The small key will allow you to open the metal gate. You must lock it from the other side with the same key. Take the elevator or stairs up to the second floor to Apt 2Dt. The biggest key will open the apartment door. You may have to turn it up to 4 times. There is no knob to turn. The door will push open when unlocked. Hot water Electricity is expensive in Portugal. To keep our costs down the hot water tank is on a timer so it is not always drawing power when the apartment is vacant. I can turn it on remotely or you can turn it on manually. There is a small room off the kitchen where the hot water tank is located. Just below the tank you will see a white timer box on the wall. There is a red glowing light that is always on at the top as well as a small blue light. On the lower half of the box there is a white button that turns the timer on or off and thus the power to the water tank on and off. If the button does not have a glow around it there is no power to the rank. Before turning it on, please look at the gauge on the hot water rank. If the indicator is at the 11 o'clock position you will have hot water. We ask you help us keep our costs down so we can keep this accommodation affordable for our guests. We suggest, therefore, only turning on the power to the tank If it is necessary. We thank you for your cooperation and hope you enjoy your stay. OMG it was like a hunger game :-D Tip for the others the...
