Apartment was very clean and comfortable, spacious and well laid out. Location was perfect for us, in the middle of the centre, handy for bars and restaurants and close to the waterfront. Communication with Carlos/Sandra was excellent. Would definitely stay there again. Some have commented about street noise but this wasn't noticeably significant in my opinion - if you want to stay in the centre of things a bit of background noise goes with the territory.

No significant complaints however the room heater seemed to be somewhat temperamental. Carlos popped along and got it working for us however it subsequently stopped working again (we were close to leaving at that point so it wasn't a big issue). Could have been our user error although I notice others have made similar comments so may need looking at. Note this was a minor issue for us and would certainly not stop us returning.

The location is great, we had the room in the back which made it possible to not have the noise from the street in front. The windows are really good and block a lot of the noise. Nice bedding, nice room. Fun that there are coffee and tea facilities and thank you for the baby bed!

I guess the only down side is that you can hear things well between the hallway and the room. The door doesn't close properly, which also explains the extra noise. But if you keep everything in that style (same doors etc) it makes sense. I do think there could be an extra measure taken to block the noise, I just don't see how.

The apartment was lovely and spacious, light and airy with high ceilings. It was very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed, the owners have obviously put a lot of thought into it. The location is excellent, it's in the middle of one of the cobbled pedestrian areas with several restaurants - including two great cafes right below, which are extremely convenient for breakfast! Although the street can get busy in the evening we enjoyed the vibrancy, and the soundproofing on the streetside double-glazed French doors is excellent, once closed you can hear hardly anything. Carlos and Sandra were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble, and they also provided us with their own walking tour of Faro and restaurant recommendations, which were both very useful. A charming apartment in a great location, we would definitely stay here again.

Can't think of any negatives

The location was excellent. The bed really comfy and shower great. The best really were the hosts, they could not do enough for us. Provided an iron and ironing board. Gave us so much information and asked each day if we needed anything at all. Offered fresh towels and sheets even though we only stayed five nights. Sent us recommendations for restaurants and places to see. What lovely people.

Balcony was very tiny so a bit disappointing as you could not sit on it. Rooms are above a busy street which is quite noisy at night so you can’t really leave the French doors open. But that’s all really.

Fast communication beforehand, and during our stay. Excellent location for those wanting to be in the thick of Faro life... Excellent space, light bright with great air-con .. super double glazed french doors, our room was at front, cut out nearly all the lively restaurant and bar scene below. Great wee kitchen space and good shower too. Would recommend - also easy to get to bus or train stations. Also, appreciated the ability for early access to property if the rooms were available...nice one, certainly in the heat of an Algarve sunny morning!

Only there one night, next time longer, hopefully

Great location and the room was really clean. Mattress was comfortable and towels smelt so nice and clean too. Shower was also amazing with a strong water pressure which I love. Communication with a host was spot on and all instructions were clear and given all in advance. There are so many restaurants and cafes around, so you are spoilt for choice. No issues at all. Would stay here again for sure! Recommend.

stairs to go up can be difficult if you have heavy luggage and child with a pram. But as it is quite an old building you would expect some stairs.

It's in the heart of the old town directly above a restaurant on a pedestrian street full of bars and restaurants. One reviewer mentioned that it was very noisy but our room facing the road had good double glazed windows and we found that they filterd out most of the street noise so no complaints on our part.

Check in is a pain if you don't arrive before midday as after this time there is and won't be anyone there to greet you. What this means is you have to send photos of your passports to enable the establishment to send you details as to how to enter the establishment. Not good as far as we were concerned in these days of identity theft.

The location is perfect. You are a few minutes walk from everything. The rooms are situated on a road with lots of restaurants and easy to pick up anything you need The price point was amazing for the size of the room. There streaming services on the TV ( you need your own account ) which isn't always available

The shower was a little small and a bit cramped, and the drainage wasn't perfect. The AC / Heater was not working & it was a little cold at night but it was OK Noise from other rooms / outside woke us up a few times. But that could happen in any central location.

The room was bigger than expected. Everything was very clean and tidy. It has a fully equipped kitchen. Very nice and comfortable bathroom. Also, the location is amazing. It's very close the old town, it's on a lively street full of cute cosy restaurants (very delicious food options in close proximity). The bed was very comfortable and the room had everything you may need for your stay. The hosts provide all the needed information and respond very fast to any question you might have. I was travelling around Portugal so I wasn't sure when I would be arriving in Faro, but they made the check-in so easy and convenient, as well as the check out. I would love to come back and stay with them again.

It was a great sized room in a lovely character building. We was allowed to drop in our luggage at 10am before the room was prepared which was useful. Was met by sandra I beleive at check in who was really helpfull giving us information about the area. The location of the apartment is in a great part with lots of cafes, bars etc right on your doorstep. The description and photos of the room was accurate.

I dont like writing anything negative because i really loved the place but we could hear music from a bar I assume until around 1.30am. It may just have affected us and other people may have been ok with it, we only stayed 1 night so maybe other nights would be ok. And maybe other rooms located on the other side of the building would be ok. After all we are in the middle of a city so need to allow for such things.
