Wonderful

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Bayview and we had a great time. The apartment was very clean and spacious and air conditioning was excellent. The balcony had a lovely sea view. Check in process was straight forward and our host Gail was in contact with us when we arrived to make sure we got into the apartment okay. Perfect location close to old town square and there was a nice quiet bar 2 mins away which was lovely. There was also a spar supermarket 3 minutes away. I would recommend this apartment it's a great place to relax and chill without the noise onlf the bars and clubs at night.

Wonderful place, perfect for our stay in Albufiera. We were very comfortable and Gail is a great host. Short walk to many restaurants, shopping and the cutest bakery for breakfast!

Apartment was ideal for my daughter and me. Only a few minutes walk to the beach and lots of restaurants, bars and shops.Lovely balcony with a sea view for morning coffee. Gail the owner was very helpful and quick to reply to any queries. Although close to nightlife if you want it the apartment was quiet and the bed comfy.
The 1 bedroom apartment was as advertised on VRBO. It was easy to find, getting keys was easy and the owner was very responsive.
We found the location ideal.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay. We endeavour to ensure our Guest has the best experience possible and value your feedback to allow us to improve. We are sorry that we did not not reach your expectations.
Loved the location of the property, the apartment itself was clean and modern, everything you needed, we enjoyed sitting out in the balcony every morning where you had a great sea view and people watching.
The pool was a good size and we always got a sunbed.
The Old Town Square was only a few minutes walk so even though it was quiet at the apartment you were never far away from the many bars and restaurants.
Definitely would stay again

Me and my wife stayed for a week at Bay view and I have to say it is one of the best apartments we’ve been in.
Very modern, very clean with everything you need also the location was spot on with a lovely sea view and literally 5 mins walk to the old town
The communication with the host Gail was excellent answering all my questions very promptly
Everything went so smooth from booking to arriving and then to actually leaving.
We’ve already booked for next June and it can’t come soon enough.

Another excellent stay
Just wanted to say yet again another fab stay at Bayview. The addition of the new balcony was great and really finishes the apartment off. Gail & Darren were great hosts as always and the apartment was comfy, clean and as fab as last year. The only negative we have about our stay is that it went far too quickly. Looking forward to next year already :-) 10/10

Thanks Jayne and Neil - glad that you enjoyed the new balcony :-) look forward to seeing you again next summer x
Nice apartment which had all the facilities we needed for our stay in Portugal. Had some trouble with ants and drainage smells but that's no fault of the host. We were able to check in early which was very much appreciated and Gail checked in with us during the end of our stay. The apartment is well located and the balcony seaviews were just a dream. We will definitely be back!

Thanks for your positive feedback and understanding of the couple of issues that you experienced.
We would be delighted to host you again in the future.
Location was perfect for us. Convenient for access to Old Town and the beach, but quiet so that we could get a good night’s rest. Communication with the owner was appreciated. Difficulty in finding the location to begin with due to construction and the building signage is not visible from the street. Available parking spot was appreciated, but it is a bit dodgy so we opted for a spot in the parking lot outside the garage. No issue finding space in October.
The property is very clean and comfortable. We had a 1.5 yo with us and he enjoyed the paddling pool and a nearby beach (which also had a lift which was very handy). Gail, the host made us feel very welcome and helped with organising transfers, which was very kind of her.
There was a lovely view from the balcony, we enjoyed our morning coffees there.
The flat is in old town which is better for families with kids (new part can be loud with all the clubbing) and short distance walk to many restaurants and a convenience shop. 5 stars for this property 🌟 nearby marina is a 20 min walk

Lovely relaxing holiday
This was our 12th trip to albufeira, and after a 2 years break we were really looking forward to it. We arrived at the apartment to be meeted and greeted by Gail & Darren who were very welcoming,and there for our arrival , they showed us around. The apartment was fab, just what we like. Clean modern, all the little home from home extras, inc beach towels. We weren't disappointed. Ideally located for both the old town and the beach, 5 minute walk to both. We prefer the beach than the pool but the pool area looked nice and well equipped but for us it's fishermans beach every time. With the added bonus of the lift up from the beach, it was an ideal opportunity to sample a sagres, outside bar Bizarro...our evenings were mainly spent sitting outside bar A Mare in the old square:) followed by the lovely home cooked Portuguese food at O Veileiro....try it, it's fab, along the main cobbled street 3 courses inc a bottle house white all or about 30 euros for 2. We love it there for either a light lunch or evening meal. Shalom also worth a visit and also ricardos near the sea front. There's a take away across the rd from the apartment and we tried a pizza from there twice, they were very good. Excellent little coffee bar down the road for a Tia Maria coffee and a great little supermarket opposite too. Basically the apartment was all we could ask for, ideally located, comfy, well equipped, ace power shower, all utensils, tv, DVD.....and with the added balcony to be in soon it will be superb..... We are already looking at our flights for next year and can't wait to go back. We would highly recommend the apartment and are missing albufeira already . If only we could get that lottery win! See you again 2014

We are looking forward to meeting you again in 2014 and thank you for looking after our apartment so well.
The apartment is clean, nice and exactly as advertised. The location could not be better! It is a few minutes walk to a store and several bars/restaurants. Within 10 minutes, you can walk to the heart of Old Town or the beach. It is the perfect combination of being close to the action but far enough away for peace and quiet!

Super appartement, juste ce qu'il faut, bien localisé. Appartement avec une super vue, un peu brouillant la nuit.mais en fermant les fenêtres nous n'antendons pas grand chose. Petit bémol pour la clim qui refroidit très difficilement.
Mais en tout cas on est a côté de tout a pied et un super plus avec une place de parking.
L,'hôte très attentionné.
Merci encore.
