The actual apartment was quite lovely and clean. Maria got back to us quickly but the address is not visible so it took along time to find in our rented car. There were also no face cloths ,dish cloths and one small roll toilet paper. Maybe this is normal in Portugal so just remember to take these things. It has a nice pool but we didn’t have time to use.

The balcony view was of the parking lot, so not terribly scenic.The kitchen was well set up and had everything we needed.The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom had adequate storage.The only complaint we had was that the living room couch was extremely uncomfortable. In fact I spent the month sitting on the dining room chair to watch TV.Overall, it was an attractive apartment, just like the pictures that are posted.The location was excellent with easy access to public transport, grocery stores and restaurants.

Apartment was clean and spacious and had everything you needed. It’s close to the Strip but quiet so allowed for good sleep. You can walk to the old town in about 30 min or take the tourist train for a few euro. Lovely pool to relax by , just a tad cool water but guess that’s because it’s later in the year . The host Maria was excellent with her communication and always responded quickly to some questions we had . Would stay again if in the Algarve again .

Top owner

very clean comfortable apartment . We had first class communication with Maria the owner but the transfer taxis don't seem to know the address and we found it better to ask to be dropped off at Sereia Oura da apartments . We had just two problems which we tried to get sorted, first the safe was locked and didn't work it only needs a key to open it and change the battery but the girl called Christina who manages things called once did nothing and although she was supposed to be coming back with a key and also to help us set up the TV (which we eventually after being in touch with Maria and a lot of luck got some channels) she never even rang us or called round for the rest of our stay.The apartment is in a quiet area , there is a small tourist train that runs around quite cheap hop on and off very handy.All in all if the apartment had a better local manager who was helpful and cared as much as the Owner does about her guests it would be greatSorry to have to write the negative stuff Maria as you were perfect, but I have be truthful.

4 night stay

Great location to access New Town yet far enough away from it to not hear the activities through the night. Lovely to have had a balcony and appreciated not overlooking the main road. Nice and quiet at night. Pool was super clean, very apparent how staff were working hard to keep up the property. Host was quick to respond to any questions we may have had, and the unit was equipped with appliances that all worked well. Loved the simple yet effective coffee-maker! Beds were very comfortable. Would not hesistate to book again if we returned to the area.

Great apartment

We really enjoyed the apartment. Maria was a great hostess and provided answers to all my questions within a reasonable amount of time. The property was clean and well stocked. There was a clean pool located on the property and a few restaurants right down below. Locaton was good. 10 minute walk to the strip and about 10 to the beautiful beach. The beds were comfortable and was just right for us. The only negatives were that toilet paper wasn’t supplied which other VRBO’s usually have and a smell coming from the drain in the bathroom. It did not wreck our vacation at all, it just wasn’t great.

Great location, great facilities and amazing host

Initially we did struggle to find the apartment as the pictures can be a little misleading. For any future guests, look for JoJo’s sandwich bar and head into the apartments behind it. The rooms were so clean and the facilities were great and very modern. The sofa bed was easy to put up and very comfy. The location is great as it’s right near the strip and there’s lots of food places nearby. It’s approximately a 10 minute uber to Old Town but ubers are so.cheap we didn’t mind! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot fault the host nor the room one bit!

Ideal location for short break.

Great little apartment 5 minutes from the strip and 15 minutes from the Old Town. The apartment would benefit from better pillows on the bed. A bowl in the kitchen to wash dishes and a plug in the sink in the bathroom to be able to shave trivial bits but makes life easier and more comfortable. As a base for a short stay though the place is ideal with a good sized pool and comfy sun loungers.

We had a great time staying here

The property was in an ideal location as it was just round the corner from the strip and only cost about €4 in an Uber or €10 in a tuk tuk to the Old town. The apartment was the perfect size for me and my 2 friends. Most things were clean and the room was presentable. However, we did have trouble with the address on Apple and Google maps and we struggled to work the AC. Apart from this we would definitely visit again and the host was friendly and extremely easy to contact. Thank you :)

Great location & Good value

The apartment is 5 minutes walk to the bottom of the strip and the top of the hill to Oura beach. It’s a 20 minute walk to the old town. It is in a quiet relaxing complex with a lovely pool area. Everything is close by. Pleased to see essentials like washing up liquid, a sponge, hand wash, washing powder and salt & pepper. Although the small balcony is in the shade all day there is a terrace area outside the front door which has sun should you wish to relax there. Communication with the host Maria was very good via WhatsApp and calls.
