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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful late summer break

The property is a comfortable and well appointed apartment, but two things make it exceptional. The first is the location – just across the road from the bus station and train station with easy access to the whole of the Algarve; 10 minutes walk to all the best restaurants and bars in town; a very decent Spar supermarket just down the road; fifteen minutes walk to the ferry terminal to the Faro beach and the other islands of the Ria Formosa. The other factor is the wonderful outlook over the Ria Formosa, especially at sunset, a delight for bird watchers, plane spotters or anyone who loves spectacular sunsets. Faro itself is full of delights, artistic, historical and culinary. We had a wonderful time!

Perfect Home Base

A beautiful apartment, perfectly situated in Faro. Not only was the apartment as described, it is spacious and fully equipped for your needs. The view is peaceful and though some have mentioned train station noise, we didn't hear it in the apartment. Most importantly, Ivan and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and was very prompt in communication. Top quality host. Absolutely wonderful stay in Faro. This is the place for you!

Great unit

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and the layout was great. It was a perfect setup for my husband and 2 young kids. Ivan was really proactive and responsive - including pictures for the check-in process was really helpful. There was an express snack shop next door and we saw a lot of people hanging out there. It’s not in the downtown area, but still within walking distance (Faro isn’t very big). It’s across the street from the train station, down the street from the bus terminal, and has a bus stop right in front that will take you to the Faro Airport! We could literally see airplanes landing and taking off from our balcony, but it wasn’t noisy at night. The sliding glass doors had metal shades that blocked out light and noise at night, it was great. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the balconies and people watching. The only thing I will say is that, outside of the touristy spots, Faro looks largely looks in disrepair. If I could do it again, I would still chose this unit, but would probably have chosen another city to spend the bulk of our stay.
