Everything from the communication with Joe and Joao, to the ease of entry, to the cleanliness of the apartment, the stunning landscaping and proximity to all our destination highlights was perfect! We had 5 adults in our group and really loved having 2 washrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed and could easily accommodate a queen or king which would be a nice upgrade but we made due. The beds are quite firm but if you like that then you’ll be fine. We can’t say enough good things about this property! We truly hope to one day be able to stay here again.

This location is best if you have a car rental, as it is away from Lagos center and beaches are located on steep hills (for older folk, it may be a bit much) If you don’t have access to a phone plan - download WhatsApp to communicate with the caretaker - once you meet up, it is easy to access the apartments. Place was clean - loved that there are two bathrooms. We loved sitting on the balcony and having an afternoon swim during downtown. Super convenient to get to many attractions such as the cave tours or Sagres. Beautiful sandy beaches in every direction! Beds were comfortable and place was quiet in the evening ##### Lauren B.

Spacious parking just outside the apartment. Walking distance to several popular beaches. No need to use the car. Will definitely come back. Note, the beds in the bedrooms are firm!
