This place allowed us to appreciate the culture of old Faro. We could walk to the Faro Islands ferry terminal, see old town, access multiple street cafes and oceanfront restaurants on foot, use a washing machine and hang our clothes out the back window on a built in clothes line, and enjoy the sun and view off the upstairs balcony. There were 6 of us (3 couples) and we were very comfortable. The place was clean, and had an amazing cross breeze because it was on the 3rd floor. AC works well, but not necessary most of the time. We all loved it!
We stayed for four nights at this location and it worked fine for us. It's close to the central district with numerous restaurants available. We were always able to find a parking spot. We were able to wash our clothes and hang them out to dry. Some people might object to it being on the third floor but when we go to Europe, we're used to climbing stairs.
Great location with easy walking to everything. Apartment was large bright and fully equipped. Would definitely recommend staying there to anyone who can do stairs
Our experience in Lisbon was not very positive. When we arrived in Faro and we entered the home, our outlook dramatically changed. We were able to spread out, but also had a chance to sit at the kitchen table together and have some laughs and time together. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Enjoyed our trip. Ivan is a great host who helped us settle in nicely and replied promptly to questions.The unit met all our needs - especially enjoyed the patio.
The apartment is a short walk from the railway and bus stations, and not much further is central Faro and the harbour.It has a lovely large balcony which we could not use unfortunately because of the poor weather when we were there
Perfect location near a couple of the finest restaurants, near train and bus stations. Short walk to tourist locations and restaurants. The stairs were a bit hard for an oldster like me but my daughter had no issues. Will stay again.
Very spacious, clean and really a good size. Ivan always answered any concerns and even gave us advise on how to travel the country and where to shop. We had a great time.
We loved the apartment. Very clean, very comfortable couches and beds. Nice big balcony overlooking the city plus the river in the view. Great area for walking anywhere, plus just a couple blocks from the Train.
Faro was the third and final stop on our visit to Portugal. Our host Ivan has made the check in process easy. There were two surprises on arrival; the large number of stairs and one of the bathrooms being on a different floor than the bedroom. Other than these surprises the property was clean and the view was spectacular. This property was in a great location and made it easy for our team to explore the Algarve coast with the train station in walking distance.
Thanks to Ivan for being a good host.

My husband and I, couldnât check in until 2hrs past checking time. Once we found the correct apartment we had a hard time opening the door because the cleaning lady had her key inside the latch. Once she let us in, we were welcome with smell of cigarettes. The carpet in the living room was not clean, I guess she didnât get enough time to clean the whole apartment. I have booked with VRBO quite often and never had an unpleasant experience like this one. This apartment was my third booking with VRBO, in the past week . How ever, it was the first worst experience out of all my entire bookings.
Lovely clean property,very central to bus/train station in Faro and 5min walk to centre.Ivan was a good host who replied quickly to queries,3rd floor apartment,very quiet,would happily recommend.
