Situado no coração de Armação de Pera, de fácil acesso a pé a todos os serviços, estivemos, literalmente, a dois passos da praia. Tudo cinco estrelas! ##### Mário F.

De eigenaars van het appartement waren ook makkelijk te bereiken, en heel vriendelijk ##### Dolly V. Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paulo E. 13 Sept 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Opção para quem prefere a localização vs conforto Prédio remodelado com apartamento (muito) ultrapassado. Tentando ser o mais construtivo: 1- Faltam fotos da wc (muito ultrapassada) 2- Refere que tem wi-fi, mas não foi o que verifiquei 3- TV apenas com 4 canais.... (estamos em 2019) 4- Um dos quartos tem duas camas de solteiro, mas falta sitio para colocar os pés (é claustrofóbico) 5\. Os sofás da sala 'suplicam' por substituição. 6\. As estrelas quanto à limpeza não dizem respeito à falta de limpeza em si mas sim ao estado geral quer de loiças de cozinha quer de wc. Estão de facto muito velhos e não há limpeza que "lhes valha". Nota-se que é um apartamento para "fazer" dinheiro, mas penso que com algum (pouco) investimento teria facilmente uma classificação geral mais favorável. A localização é, de facto, muito boa. Éramos 3 adultos e 1 criança, e claramente a indicação de que "dormem 4" não é justa. 4 adultos nesta casa é no minimo desconfortável. Sugestão: invistam num sofá e itens de cozinha (cadeiras principalmente). Tirem uma das camas de solteiro do quarto e melhorem o que puderem na wc. O processo de admissão foi simples e isso juntamente com a localização do aptº são os pontos favoráveis, ainda assim, insuficientes para justificar o preço/noite. ##### Paulo E.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy G., Prince George,, BC, Canada 11 May 2019 #### Algarve 2019 Our property was as advertised - no surprises here to be worried about at all! The building is right on the Sea Boulevard with a secure entry which we appreciated, and the apartment is on the back side of the first floor. There is no sea view, but the advertisement clearly points this out so we were not expecting one. Felipa was very quick to return messages, and was there to meet us at the front door when we arrived. With her advice we arrived by bus and it was a very manageable 6 minute walk to her apartment. There were two mini markets nearby with extremely reasonable prices on everything including groceries, toiletries, and booze, a Farmacia, souvenir shops, and tons of restaurants with great food. We really enjoyed being in this area of the town, versus the hotel area at the other end of the beach. Regardless of where you stay in Armação de Pera, everything is very close and easy to walk to! I messaged her on the evening we arrived to ask about beach towels as I couldn’t find any, and by the morning she had some waiting for us outside the front door. We were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! ##### Stacy G. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ---
