    The whole suite (kitchen and bedroom) where we stayed (no 2) smelled like cigarettes/ tobacco, and not like the previous guests had been smoking there the previous night, more like it was embedded on the walls/ furniture, because we left both windows open the whole time since checking in, and it still smelled by the time we were leaving. Check-in was also odd, had to call to get a lock box code, was given 3 codes to 3 lock boxes, first two were empty, last one had keys to another suite (not the one we blocked), ended up having to take the keys off of the cleaning staff, so a little bit of an unorganized set up.

    Parking at residence. Private pool for all residents. Local cat.

    Didn't spend much time in the room, so this worked for us. A comfortable chair inside would be nice

    Very difficult to get the code to the lock box. Had to phone the host multiple times and the call kept dropping. They also required guest data that no other places I've stayed in Portugal, asked for. They were not proactive. I had to keep reaching out. They didn't seem too friendly, but that may have just been the language barrier. The kitchenette could've been outfitted better. I washed all the dishes before we left, but there was no strainer to put them in to dry.

    Great value for the money. Location suited us.

    Located in an upscale neighbourhood this building too must have been nice when it was built but that must have been a long time ago. Everything from the furniture to the paint job and fittings needs replacing / renovating. The main light in the room did not work. Communication was like pulling teeth, language was not the issue. Remember ad on if you care for the details. I received a message on booking.com asking for personal information and to phone prior to arriva for the keycode.. I provided the requested personal information in my reply and asked for check in details to be sent by message rather than the requested phone call (I pay for calls when overseas). I received no reply despite more than 12 hours passing. I called at great personal expense 2hrs before check in, at a time convenient to me and more than an hour away with no plan to arrive before 3pm, to ask for the code. I was told to call back when I arrived "check in is not until 3". I called again when I arrived and there was no answer. I called a third time and was told that the cleaner is on site and will let me in. I asked for the address as I was at the Google maps location and could not see the signage, was unsure I was at the right address and was told repeatedly "you just need to put it in Google maps" this went on for several minutes, I was finally given the address and located the building. The cleaner asked for the personal detail I had sent in my message previously, what a waste of time my previous message was. As we say back home "Good things aren't cheap and cheap things aren't good"

    If you drive the location is convenient with parking on site and close to the start of a coastal path to the lighthouse and point but not much else. The room was spacious with a view of the sea through neighbouring buildings and filthy glass. The room was "clean" (can you polish a turd?) and well equipped but very dated and run down

    I missed the outside table and the hair dryer. Wifi is very weak and turns off in the evening and morning hours.

    The clean, spacious and airy apartment has basic equipment (two hotplates, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster). Quiet surroundings, a large terrace with a wonderful view of the sea and a small clean pool. The daily cleaning and towel change works perfectly.

    The beds were not comfortable at all, very old mattresses with old body imprints in them . One cupboard door nearly fell off its hinges when I used it on my first day. There was some dog mess on the grass near the pool when I arrived, but did get removed a day or so after. And they really need to repair the damp damage properly instead of just painting over it.

    The location is excellent, its nice and quiet. I would recommend a hire car, although a taxi to the Marina is only around 6 euros on the meter before 9 or 10pm at the time of writing. It's a short walk to the beaches and there's good wooden platforms around the coastal walks. Nice pool and garden. And the resident cat was lovely.

    Patio door was hard to lock and the shower curtain had black mold (or crushed insects on it) which was a little discusting.

    Nice location right next to the cliffs, 10 minutes to the city by car. They cleaned the room everyday, pool was super clean and the grass around was was trimmed and nice to walk on. Kitchen was ok furnished, fridge worked well. Enough parking space for everyone to be comfortable. No problem in joining reception for check in (need a phone that works tho) chairs outside to sit
