Quick access to surrounding

Close access to bus and trains and only a short walk to the old town. Condo was very clean and bright despite being in an old building. It was well stocked with all the necessary things to make our stay comfortable.

Nice stay

Apartment was great, clean airy with a nice little balcony overlooking the sea. Near to both train and bus station for trips to nearby towns. Ivan was a terrific host, picking us up from the airport and showing is around the marina and where the ferry goes..

Great place!

This was a great place to stay! Very clean and well equipped. Owner was very communicative. Very close to old Faro and train station is directly across street. I did not notice any train noise. Also a bar next door that you can get pastries or sandwiches. Would recommend.

Marvelous location

We woke up overlooking the water and at night watching the sunset on the small balcony. Everything in the apartment is nice and functional. We made breakfast every morning after we walked to Spar (5 min.) and bought fresh baked rolls. Ivan was very welcoming and gave us a short tour of Faro after picking us up from the airport. You are with walking distance to everything you want to do in Faro. If you need a bus 1 block away and train station across the street. We had a 7am train ticket to Lisbon and walking across the street with luggage was a life saver.

Well equipped apartment

The apartment is practically opposite the train station with views over the sea towards the airport, it is in a residential area and is the 4th floor up, there is a lift. A lovely living room, and the whole place is very clean. I personally found it difficult to sleep as it is quite noisy what with the airport, trains and general noise in street . Memory foam mattresses i find too hot and had to sleep above a bed with a cushion as the pillows are memory foam too. Ivan was good with communication and arranged a drop off to the airport for us, there is a lovely restaurant a few doors up, it is well situated for the marina etc.

So so

This property was ok to stay in for a very short period. I would not want to stay here for a long vacation. The location of the property, even though not too far from the main plaza, is not pleasant. The "view" pictures that are posted are very deceiving. The view of the boats are in the far distance. The direct view is a train station and some warehouses with industrial lots. It is not a two bedroom condo. The room with 3 beds have no dividing wall to the living room, so no privacy. I would not recommend it for family stay.

Stay in Faro

The apartment was fairly spacious - there were 5 of us who stayed there. 3 family members shared the bigger room which had 3 single beds in it and my partner and I took the Master BR. All of us shared 1 bathroom which wasn’t an issue b/c we coordinated our showers times. The apartment was very clean and fairly well equipped to cook meals if we didn’t feel like eating out. We used Faro as our base and did day trips to other beautiful coastal towns. That worked out well for us as we had rented a van to travel in the Algarve area. The train station is located right across from the apartment building so if you don’t have a vehicle , you can easily take day trips via train to visit other coastal towns . We were happy with our accommodation and owner, Ivan was very responsive to our questions and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Useful location for going to explore other areas

Ivan's communications were quick and efficient. Thanks Ivan. The apartment was just as shown in the listing, although we expected the street image to reflect the street where the apartment was located, but it's an image of another street downtown, although it's just a few minutes walk to it. We went in the winter, and the kitchen and bathroom are not heated, so the rooms were cold. The heating in the other rooms was fine after a couple of days. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the small balcony has a nice view on the Ria Formosa. The location is conveniently close to the train station, and with a rented car, it was easy to get on the N125 from there to go visit other towns and villages in the Algarve. The Supermercado was just a 15-minute walk from the apartment, and the small historical downtown is just a 10-minute walk. The apartment is large and had sufficient amenities in it to accommodate our 2-week stay. Thanks, Ivan.

Sauber aber hellhörig

Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral. Dies war sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteil. Einerseits waren die Innenstadt und Restaurants direkt um die Ecke. Andererseits ist der Bahnhof direkt nebenan, sodass man nachts jeden vorbeifahrenden Zug hört und eine Vibration spürt. Außerdem ist das Haus sehr hellhörig. Dafür gab es in jedem Zimmer eine Klimaanlage und die Wohnung war sehr sauber. Das Doppelbett war jedoch so durchgelegen, dass es unmöglich war, darin zu zweit zu schlafen. Alles in allem eine solide Wohnung.

The apartment was spacious, nicely decorated. I liked all the houseplants and the water view. Conveniently close to the train station. Found the surrounding area to be a little suspect, the building itself to be very old and the entry way dark. The apartment was withing walking distance to the town center and marina. Owner was very responsive to questions.

Excellent little apartment very near the town centre

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.

Lovely Apartment Ideal Location Sea View

The location is ideal and walkable to the Old City, Municipal Market, boat tours and many excellent restaurants including Hotel Faro rooftop bar and restaurant. The apartment has a sunny deck overlooking the train stations (noise not an issue) and out to the sea. It s spacious, bright and well equipped. Wash may be hung outside and fry in a day.
