We loved our stay. There was only one problem. Our coffee filter jug had a broken handle so pouring the first morning we had boiling coffee everywhere.. I rang and asked for a new jug but did not receive one . We had no way of making coffee safely for our 10 day stay.

Perfect Location
This ended up being the perfect location for us. We are a couple who wanted easy access to reach the numerous trails and walk to old down town Lagos. The apartment was very comfortable and quiet and had all the amenities we required. We were there for a month and were quite surprised to find they delivered extra towels and bedding shortly after we arrived....a bonus. The unit had a western exposure with access to the balconies from every room. We lost our hot water once during the month but this was resolved almost immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to return again.

Great, modern stay
The apartment was lovely. It was clean and in good shape overall. The neighborhood was also nice - we were able to walk to the beaches nearby. The downside was the apartment amenities. Each bathroom had 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 little bar of soap, so be prepared to buy all of the basics (sponge, dish soap, hand soap, toilet paper, tissues or paper towels, etc.). I’ve never been in a rental without those household basics, so that was a little disappointing.

Apartment was excellent, just as it looks on the website. Terrific location, very clean and spacious and had all the facilities that you would ever need. Check in and out was easy and all emails to property manager were replied to promptly. Will definitely return for another trip.

Great Value for Accomodation!
This property was a delight, spacious and comfortable. It was especially nice to not have to fight for a parking space. A few improvements would have made the apartment even better; the plumbing pipes made a sound consistently throughout the day; the mattress pads crinkle and are flaking; the dining chairs are very worn and flaking. There are actually 2 nice bathrooms, not just one as listed in the information. The view out the back veranda is hindered by an abandoned concrete structure and unkept building lots.

suggestions for improvement
The check in process was difficult for traveler's without phone access. We bought a European sim card for our phones but it did not work in Portugal. We had to borrow a phone to call in for the code to enter the condo. Joas did not give us the additional code to enter the building. So we had to drive to a restaurant and borrow another phone to call back for the code for the building. Also the complex was not well lit so we had trouble finding the actual building in the dark. All these steps added at least an hour at the end of a long travel day! Please provide access info by e-mail well in advance for traveler's without phone and limited e-mail access. The condo was well equipped with dishes etc but it would have been helpful to have a small amount of dish soap, a dish cloth and more than one dishwasher puck for a 5 day stay. We had to buy a large container of dish soap and left it behind. It is annoying when you charge the credit card for the damage deposit rather than just putting a credit card hold for the amount. We were out 10 euro when the credit card refunded the damage deposit. For these reasons we can only give a 3 star rating.

Awesome apartment
We stayed here for 8 days. We've travelled a lot and I have to say this apartment is definitely one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. It has absolutely everything you need for your stay in Lagos, the kitchen is really well equipped. We felt safe and comfortable and it's super close to the lovely Lagos marina where there are plenty of yummy restaurants. We also found it the ideal base to travel the Algarve from Faro to Sagre. It is also extremely clean. Really can't fault this place, it's exactly as you see it on the photos. The only real suggestion I could make is to place a bin in the bathrooms - but that is of course a very minor issue. But don't hesitate to stay here, you'll love it.

Gorgeous apartment in great location
Sarah’s apartment is extremely spacious and beautifully appointed. Only a 10-15 minute walk takes you into town, and there are also a handful of good local restaurants. Porto de Mos beach is wonderful, if a bit of a steep walk. I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment for so many reasons 😊

Such a good property and location
Doing a bit of research before our stay in Lagos paid off and this property ticked all the boxes, everything within the property works well for a holiday and there is plenty of room throughout. It was very clean and all necessary equipment included. The location was great for us as it is only a short distance from the town and beaches. All our contact was dealt with very well and helpful. Would highly recommend

Comfortable, spacious accommodation
Very modern and comfortable property, exactly as described online. Great balcony position with sun all evening. The apartment was well equipped in terms of mod cons, crockery but simple and items such as cleaning cloths, hand wash, cooking oil etc would have been a welcome addition. The location was fine since we had a car, although it's walking distance to beach and town too, be prepared for hills!
