Location was what we needed. Proximity to train and plane. Extra bonus marks for having a balcony overlooking the water and walking distance to "old town".
Ivan gave us a great tour and helpful information on our arrival. He was easy to reach and attentive to our questions. We even ran into him while out walking the town one day! Had some great meals, Faro has some wonderful restaurants. Central location for hopping the train and visiting the other towns in the Algarve.
We easily walked to a great restaurant (and there were many nearby). The view, including the sunset, was beautiful! Check-in required several steps, but they were clearly outlined. The place was spotless! Thanks for a great stay!
Great apartment very close to centre and railway station
Very nice apartment. Owner picked us up from airport and gave us a heads up on the area, how to get to the city centre and suggested some really great places to visit.
Our favourite accommodations of our trip. Super close to bus and train station and short trip to beach. Very comfortable for our family of five. Clean premises. Host very responsive to messages and questions.

The property was as advertised. Clean, across the street from train station and close to the airport. Great restaurants within 15 minutes.
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.

Loved the view and the furnishings in the living room, especially the plants. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much.
Ivan was a good host and responded quickly and well to our comments.
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..
This is a spacious condo located in the Old Town a few minutes walk from the harbour and 20+ outdoor restaurants and cafes. The small balcony was perfect for sunset dinners for 2.
Just back from a most enjoyable stay at the apartment. Really comfortable beds and well equipped for a comfortable stay.
Felisbela gave us a warm welcome which was great! Nice and handy for the train and bus station so getting around was easy!
Loved it!
The property was everything as advertised centrally located, close to bus and train stations and downtown Faro. The apartment was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Felisbela was very helpful, gave good suggestions for restaurants and areas for sightseeing. Highly recommend to stay in Faro.
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.
It was most comfortable, spacious and clean. Host is very professional. Very detailed checking in process which was very accurate. It is the best location you can asked for. We really enjoyed it

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.
What a great property centrally located close to everything it could not have been more perfect for my needs very close to the train station and just seconds into the Old Town restaurants close by beautiful water views when I return to Faro I will most definitely try to stay here again I didn't want to leave I could have just moved in and stay ed it was so comfortable
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.

Ivan was a wonderful host - friendly and readily available and went the extra mile to help us get to our next location.
His apartment is in a convenient and safe location. It is clean, bright and has all necessary standard amenities - even extra toilet tissue and salt and pepper!
It was a pleasure to stay in this apartment and meet our great host.
The apartment was located in a wonderful location, close to the water and the center of town. It was very comfortable inside and the decks were excellent to go out and view a sunset or a sunrise. We had breakfast on the deck every morning and enjoyed watching the boats move about.
Felisbela was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions and recommendations.
We absolutely loved the whole experience at the apartment and in Faro!
This is a great property right by the train station - good but can be noisy if staying in the second bedroom area. Great view over the water and the balcony provides a nice area for relaxing and watching the sunset.
Close to mini- marts and lots of great restaurants. Walk around the old part of Faro. Our trip was especially good with Precious Tours looking after us.
Highly recommend.
A real sweet spot right in the heart of Faro. It is so convenient, especially for train and bus travelers. You can live without a car quite easily. We did rent a car for a little while, to look around elsewhere. Ivan is a wonderful host.
