  : Beautifully appointed apartment in an excellent location. Walking distance to marina, bus and train station, as well as Auchan Supermarchado. This is a lovely space- especially if youre looking into a short stay. It has the basic necessities required to be comfortable for a couple of days. Kitchen is fairly well-equipped, minus an oven. We also found the management staff of Check-in Portugal to be extremely helpful and responsive.
  : Unfortunately, there are a few significant disappointments with the rental. First and foremost, we booked because of the fabulous view from the terrace that was pictured. Although we were aware that the terrace was on the rooftop, what we didnt know was that it was above the 5th floor and our apartment was on the 2nd floor. Additionally, there are no umbrellas or shady overhangs, so you can only really use it in the evening, when the sun isnt so hot. The little balconies pictured arent balconies at all, so the idea of having an outdoor space was truly misrepresented and not really an option. The other disappointment was the television service. For such a fashionable apartment, the system is at best antiquated. Its extremely frustrating and very hard to navigate; although it seems to offer apps to use your Netflix, Youtube, etc, the apps channel just spins and spins and never actually opens up. Lastly, the apartment is terribly insulated so you can not only hear street noise, but noise from the tenants in the other apartments. I was awoken on several different occasions during the night because of external noise.

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : Terrible reception. Late arrival and no keys available. Accomodation paid for overseas collegues in advance but then the code to access the building would not be sent. Impossible to get into the building. Collegues spent over 24 hours travelling andf then over 1 h trying to get into the accomodation and extremely unhelpful and unwelcoming "hosts". Black mark and will never ever use this service again - impoliute and abysmal and no attempt to resolve the proble. They had the money up front!
  : The whole experience, I would not recommend this to anyone. Cost a fortune and the host was "mean" not even any small items like, salt, pepper, a couple of tea bags or coffee as a small starter pack to welcome guests with a late arrival. Only objective of this company is to make money out of foreigners!

Pleasant

  : Excellent location, good facilities, large, two bathrooms.
  : Noisy. Lots of street noise during the night and paper thin walls made it hard to sleep.
