Great location near the airport! Beautiful views and easy check-in. The A/C was perfection. Be advised the 2nd room with the 3 beds has no privacy as it is just partitioned off from the living room. Best feature was the elevator! After lugging my suitcases up and down flights of stairs all over Portugal, this was an amazing perk that is underappreciated. The host was amazing, easy to contact and readily available via WhatsApp. My only negative is that I didn't stay there longer!

Ivan gave us a great tour and helpful information on our arrival. He was easy to reach and attentive to our questions. We even ran into him while out walking the town one day! Had some great meals, Faro has some wonderful restaurants. Central location for hopping the train and visiting the other towns in the Algarve.

Room was Immaculately clean and comfortable. Equipped all kitchen stuff. Also this building has elevator. Nice ocean view from the condo. Close to everything especially train station is right on the doorstop. Perfect for us that traveled to Olhao, next day to Lagos. The property is not right in the town centre, so it’s quiet. We didn’t have a chance to meet Ivan, but his brother Brad picked us up at the airport and gave us quick tour around town. I would recommends this property to everyone if you visit Faro.

We took the train from Lisbon and the apartment was just across the street from the station to the right. The front is kind of intimidating, but as soon as we opened the door to the apartment, we were pleasantly surprised. It was very bright and quiet with a great sunset view off the deck. Kitchen was fully stocked and there was a small grocery store just down the street to the left. Mini markets were everywhere as well as restaurants. Bed was comfortable also. Really enjoyed our stay. If I could suggest one thing…it would be a full length mirror for the ladies and maybe a small shelf in the bathroom for toiletries.

Although close to the train station and not far from the flight path there was little to no noise. A/C was working perfectly and adequate for the size of flat. Access was easy with a working lift. The views were great from the balcony.
