The location of this property is ideal, minutes away from the many bars and restaurants of the Old Town but on the sixth floor of an apartment block so still quiet at night. Apartment itself has a huge balcony, ideal for taking your breakfast on in the morning and for sunbathing if you don’t want to go to the beach. Bedrooms are comfortable and come with air conditioning, but a little sparse with no bedside/low lighting meaning the main light only. Kitchen is smallish and galley style, so more than two in and it’s crowded, and it took us a couple of attempts to work out the electric job but it has everything you need in terms of kettle, toaster, pans etc.
Should also add that there are supermarkets nearby for anything you need, a Spar just a couple of minutes away while an Aldi and Lidl are a longer walk.
Downsides, the apartment is on the sixth floor but the lift only goes to the fifth so you’ll need to lug your suitcase etc up a small flight of stairs. Check in/out times when we booked differed from those the Agent advised - they advised check in time was 17:00 and check out by 10:00 but it may be possible to agree different times. We were able to agree an earlier check in but were only able to do so the day before flying ( we landed in Faro at 13:00 so we’re at the apartment around 15:00). The other point is the keys have to be picked up at the Agents office. This was the first time I’ve not been either met at the apartment or the keys left in a secure location, so raising it as a possible issue.
All this said would I book this apartment again? Yes, but on the basis that I know what to expect with regards to key collection etc
