Really nice for a larger group. Great location!
We were a group of 7 women spending 10 days in Portugal. Half of our trip was spent at this apartment. We would stay here again. The location is phenomenal. The elevator was a great addition for getting our luggage up to the third floor. The bedrooms are roomy and have plenty of storage. Having 5 (5!) bathrooms — one for each bedroom — was an absolute gift for getting ready in the morning. The apartment was clean and the person who met us for check-in did a great job of recommending places to visit and to eat. Our espresso maker was broken, and they replaced it the very next day. Downsides: There was one key to get us in the front door of the building. We requested more keys, since we don't always spend our days as a single, large group — and two days into our trip, one more key was dropped off for us. So we had to do a lot of coordination to figure out who would be back to the apartment first, who could let someone else in, etc. Also, three of our bedroom a/c units did not work. When we notified the company about the first one (we hadn't realized the other two were broken yet), they said they needed parts and that they didn't know when it was coming in. It wasn't fixed while we were there. It was an unusually hot October, with temps in the mid-80s F, so this was uncomfortable for the people in those rooms. The balconies are very small, and one was completely covered by construction scaffolding. We didn't use them. But someone else might find them charming.
