About this property
Casa Machado Old Town Lagos
## Space
On entering the house, you walk up a set of steps taking you into the open-plan lounge and kitchen area. This has all of the modern appliances that you will need to cook some of the local fresh fish available at the nearby fish market or produce from the weekly Farmers Market, just a 5-minute walk away.
Down to the ground floor, you have a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a small utility area next door. Then going back up through the house to the third floor you have an office area, should you wish to do some work whilst you are away. On this floor, you will find the second double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
Moving up to the fourth and final floor is where you will find the beautiful roof terrace where you can spend your days lying on the sun loungers soaking up the sun or enjoying a lovely meal prepared on the BBQ. This has to be one of the best places to enjoy your holiday where you can truly relax and enjoy all that Lagos and the Algarve has to offer with its views towards Meia Praia Beach and the Old Town of Lagos.

The townhouse is located right next to the Lagos marina area. The Marina area has all you need including restaurants, bars with live music and a large supermarket.
Lagos is the perfect holiday destination with a lively historical center full of shops, (super)markets, a marina, bars and restaurants. It is known for its breathtaking cliffs and we highly recommend a boat, kayak or SUP tour to see them from the water. The town has a picturesque historical centre, great food and friendly people. As it is located on the coast you can enjoy several watersports activities such as surfing and sailing. There are many activities for all ages and preferences in this area.

You have both a local and national bus service as well as a train service near the centre of Lagos, so getting out and about is quite easy. Due to the location of the property, there is no allocated parking, however there are paying facilities nearby should you wish to hire a car.

Our stay was very good. It is a great location in the heart of old town Lagos with great proximity to the beaches. The entire process from check in to check out was seamless and we were very happy with the property.
Great location! Very convenient to restaurants and shops. Parking is about 300m away and free which is nice. Only negative is the beds are a little hard.
We loved the location and it was wonderful to have access to laundry during our stay. The rooftop was really lovely, as well. The downstairs shower smelled a little musty, and there was some sand where the washing machine was, but otherwise the place was very clean. We would stay here again.

MANY positives and good overall experience
Positives:
Nice modern multi-level apartment with good amenities including well-appointed kitchen, nice appliances, washer/dryer, comfortable bedding and nice quality towels. Great location close to MANY shops, restaurants, beaches and attractions.
Negatives:
A little difficult to find. Hard to drag baggage to location from train station. Would suggest an optional check-in that provides local pick-up and escort to facility for a small upcharge.
Bathrooms do not have sufficient exhaust fans to evacuate steam from showers. This made bathrooms "swampy", especially the lower level bedroom/bath combo.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our Lagos, Portugal experiences. Apartment was very stylish and functional with an excellent location.
Very clean and great condition. Central to everything. The terrace is an amazing space. Right in old town steps fromBars and shops and restaurants.

Fabulous townhouse! New, modern, equipped with everything. We miscommuncated with our host (partly our fault) but eventually got in. Located in the charming Old Town, finding the house and parking was very tricky.
The house is ideally located and within walking distance to the beaches, grocery stores, attractions, and so many restaurants. We stayed for 3 months and look forward to returning.
The property managers were very accommodating and responsive to our questions.
Perfect location in Lagos to explore the area. We were always able to find parking near the property. The safe was locked when we arrived. We messaged the host but didn’t receive a reply so we couldn’t use it. The property is beautiful and well appointed.
What a phenomenal place. If you want to be minutes walk to the life of town center, but also have a quiet oasis when you want to relax, this is the spot. The roof deck was perfect for a late afternoon drink and snacks before dinner. The seafood/sandwich shop literally around the corner is great too. Rent with confidence that what you see is what you’ll get.
This place was amazing. We fell in love with the rooftop terrace. The apartment was in immaculate shape. The inside looks even better than the photos online. It's modern, lots of natural light, comfortable beds, three bathrooms. Also, it's in a perfect location, only a block away from the center of town and two blocks from the marina. I highly recommend this property for a stay in Lagos.

Lob und Kritik
Lob:
Die Lage, moderne, hochwertige Renovierung, attraktive Dachterasse.
Kritik:
Das Schlafzimmer in der untersten Etage war fensterlos und ohne Belüftung. Eine Zumutung!!
Die Küche war hochwertig gestaltet, aber:
die Austattung mit Töpfen, Geschirr und Besteck war mehr als dürftig. Mit jeweils 4 Einheiten ist die Spülmaschine überflüssig, da Besteck und Gechirr zwischendurch wieder gebraucht wurden und so von Hand gespült werden mussten.
Der Hauptpreis geht an die Bratpfanne billigster Machart, Beschichtung durch Reinigungsvorgänge vor längerer Zeit vollständig abgetragen, der Boden war extrem durchgebogen.
Angesetzte Speisereste waren sehr unapetitlich!!
Die Töpfe waren ähnlich.
Die Küchenasstattung steht in keinem Verhältnis zu übrigen Ausstattung.
Für wenig Geld wäre dieses unangenehme Erlebnis vermeidbar.
The deck is great. The kitchen and living area are spacious. The freezer was clogged with ice and needed to be defrosted. The unit was generally clean but could have been more thoroughly cleaned. Perfect location though. Close to everything.
Excellent location. A short walk to the old town, and also walking distance to the beach, bus station, harbor, and other locations.

Cool aber mit Luft nach oben
Die Wohnung ist eigentlich toll: schick, gut gelegen und eine großartige Dachterasse. Was unser Erlebnis einschränkt sind eine Reihe von Kleinigkeiten - schlecht anlaufende Duschen, fehlende Decken, muffiger Geruch in einem der Schlafzimmer etc., die eigentlich nicht so ärgerlich gewesen wären, wenn nicht gleichzeitig der Vermieter so kleinlich und wenig kooperativ wäre.
