Response from the owner Thank you so much for your review and I'm so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable stay at the apartment. I can confirm too that the apartment will be undergoing some renovation at the end of season 2023 so, if deciding to stay again or for those reading this review, the apartment will be having a positive facelift :-)

“Fantastic Location”
Amazing location and the view is to die for. Apartment is on the ground floor so obviously the views would be better in the higher apartments but its still spectacular. So handy to the pool, you can walk over straight from the balcony. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool at all times of the day. It's only a 5 minute walk to the escalator which takes you down to the beach. The walk back sure is good for the fitness lol. There are quite a few steps to navigate when leaving the complex so wouldn't be suited with someone with mobility issues. The apartment had everything needed. Washing machine was very handy to freshen up towels etc. The apartment did feel a bit stuffy at times but plenty of fans and a portable air conditioning unit is there if needed. Philippa was very prompt with her replies to my emails and that was reassuring. This apartment is compact but it can sleep 5/6 people with no issues. The shower was powerful and was fab. Internet had no issues either. If you're looking for a central location you can't go wrong here. Would definitely recommend.

“Great location and perfect for the family”
We stayed in this apartment with 2 adults and 3 children comfortably. Although it's only got 1 bedroom, the beds in the living room were full size mattress and comfortable for the children. The apartment itself is large and definitely had everything we needed while away The area and location was perfect. Literally 5-10 minutes to the beach and 15 minutes into the old town. Ideal location from faro Airport and not too far to zoomarine and algarve shopping centre! Lidl and aldi also a 10-15 min walk away but I'd suggest walking to continental instead as so much more choice and reasonable prices! Mc Donald's and kfc also 10 mins walk away. A few parks around from smaller children. If you are disabled or have any type of knee or back problems or find stairs difficult then do not book this apartment as there is around 100 stairs to get in and out of the complex and becomes hard work after a few days. We found that most days we had the pool to ourselves which was lovely and the whole complex was quiet, well maintained and amazing views of the sea and the old town. We used ubers to get around, be careful of prices as change every minute and sometimes double the price. The apartment was clean and tidy and well equipped when we arrived. My only slight issue was the towels seemed to not of been washed or smelt like they had been used beforehand but having a washer in the apartment this wasn't a issue at all as I just rewashed them before using. Bed sheets were clean. We'd of liked more thinner sheets for beds in the living room but again wasn't a massive issue... Best of all the owner was very responsive and emailed back to my million questions and very fast too! Literally couldn't of felt more more comfortable and relaxed about booking. The apartment was ground floor which was great having a 3 year old that climbs alot and isn't trusted to not be watched no worries about balancy or falls then. Information for entry even at 11pm was spot on and had no trouble at all. Overall a great owner, location and everything you need for a home from home. Wouldn't hesitate to book with this lady again or any of her apartments again!

Response from the owner Dear Leanne - Thank you for your comments and positive review and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the apartment and its location to town and the beach. Regarding the towels, I'd like to reassure you they are all laundered by a laundery firm so were indeed clean but..... as a precaution, I am now going to instruct that they are all laundered again and bagged up to keep the fresh smell in them. As you can imagine, we have a lot so maybe they had lost their freshness. The steps, yes, there are indeed only 49 of them down to the apartment but, when going up them, it can feel like a lot more - ha ha. Glad you had a wonderful holiday and hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Philippa
