    Lack of parking, but that's Portimão, not the host's fault They were very helpful and gave us lots of options to park close by.

    We loved everything about it - amazing location, very close to anything and everything. The apartment itself was perfect - clean, spacious, and had everything we needed.

    Too short a stay

    A beautiful well located, quiet apartment, out of the bustle and rush. Everything you need is there on hand in the apartment to make it a cosy stay, thanks

    Location was so so. When we (2 ladies) went to the door to go in the first time... 2 guys drinking beers (and this was afternoon) were watching us. We made sure they were gone when we left for dinner. There was also a group of 5 motley-looking souls who crossed our path at dinner. And, the parking was free but it was 3-4 blocks so be prepared also if it is raining. Also the stairs up to the bedroom, an older couple might find it hard to transverse them. I did bring my suitcase up there very, very carefully.

    Place was cute and sweet. Left us a bottle of wine, 2 oranges... and there was a stork who made a home right outside in a chimney-type structure.

    We had a really comfortable stay in the apartment and enjoyed our holiday in Portimao.

    The only thing we didn't like was the lighting, not strong enough so the rooms were a bit dark in the evenings. We had to be very careful with the stairs leading to the bedroom upstairs as they are narrow and spiral.

    The location was perfect, central and close to shops, restaurants, see front. The hosts were very nice and helpful, excellent communication via the phone. The flat provided everything we needed for 10 days, including enough bedding, towels, even dishwasher tablets, washing capsules, kitchen cutlery etc. It was very comfortable and quiet in the building. We had a street view from big and sunny windows, the decor was lovely- modern with some traditional Portuguese elements, like hand painted tiles.

    We liked everything except upstairs in the bedroom it is very hot :( The description says there is air conditioning, but it is only downstairs not in the main bedroom.

    As described, very charming and stylish in the center of Portimão. Friendly and communicative hosts who put so much love into the property.

    Super cute apartment, with the bedroom upstairs. Everything is there, full kitchen, nice bathroom, very nicely decorated and some plants to keep it cozy. Way above an average apartment in every regard. The location is right in the "old" center, in a quiet street. Beach is easy to reach by bus. Hosts were very responsive and nice, but we didn't need them since everything worked well. This room was up one flight of stairs, and the bedroom was another one up.

    Location was ideal to take day trips to other beaches in the Algarve region as the bus stop was only a 5 minute walk from the property. Inna is an incredible host! She gave me recommendations and always responded right away to any questions I had. I highly recommend this apartment!

    The bedroom was hot as the air conditioning worked well in the downstairs area but not the bedroom. there was a fan which helped.

    It was very clean and excellently equipped. It also had beautiful decor and attention to detail. The position was in the middle of town but quiet.

    We had a fantastic time. Very welcoming inside. The hosts were very helpful in their communication. Everything was great. The location was great. Cozy small town area, close to downtown. Large and free parking nearby. If you come to southern Portugal you should choose this accommodation and from here it is easy to get around the nearby towns. The facilities are very good. The accommodation is clean and well equipped.

    The sofa bed was a little uncomfortable but not that bad.

    Such a comfortable, beautiful space! loved that it was away from the tourist strip but close to all the water activities. The neighborhood is wonderful and close to a lot of great places to eat.

    AI enjoyed the apartment a lot! It was so cozy and had everything I needed. It is beautifully decorated and the hostess has herself painted the beautiful tiles outside and inside the apartment. I was there with my son, so he slept in the bedroom upstairs and I took the sofa-bed. Everything worked perfectly, like the washing machine, hot water, air condition/heater, hair dryer, smart TV et.c. The location is perfect, right in the center. Close to grocery shops, restaurants, shopping streets. Although in the center, it was very quiet. No noise outside. It is also close to train and bus station, and the gorgeous marina (for long walks). The breathtaking beaches are a couple of kilometres away, but you can walk all along the marina and then you are straight onto Praia da Rocha. If I go to Portimão again, I will for sure try to book the same apartment. The hosts, Inna & Fernando, are really attentive. They answered any questions I had immediately.

    There were no black tea bags. There was no coffee for the coffee machine. The bathroom was downstairs. The staircase was very narrow and very steep!
