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 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.

Great Place and Location
The apartment was located in a wonderful location, close to the water and the center of town. It was very comfortable inside and the decks were excellent to go out and view a sunset or a sunrise. We had breakfast on the deck every morning and enjoyed watching the boats move about. Felisbela was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions and recommendations. We absolutely loved the whole experience at the apartment and in Faro!

This is a great property right by the train station - good but can be noisy if staying in the second bedroom area. Great view over the water and the balcony provides a nice area for relaxing and watching the sunset. Close to mini- marts and lots of great restaurants. Walk around the old part of Faro. Our trip was especially good with Precious Tours looking after us. Highly recommend.

Stay in Faro
The apartment was fairly spacious - there were 5 of us who stayed there. 3 family members shared the bigger room which had 3 single beds in it and my partner and I took the Master BR. All of us shared 1 bathroom which wasn’t an issue b/c we coordinated our showers times. The apartment was very clean and fairly well equipped to cook meals if we didn’t feel like eating out. We used Faro as our base and did day trips to other beautiful coastal towns. That worked out well for us as we had rented a van to travel in the Algarve area. The train station is located right across from the apartment building so if you don’t have a vehicle , you can easily take day trips via train to visit other coastal towns . We were happy with our accommodation and owner, Ivan was very responsive to our questions and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out. Overall we were happy with our stay.

Useful location for going to explore other areas
Ivan's communications were quick and efficient. Thanks Ivan. The apartment was just as shown in the listing, although we expected the street image to reflect the street where the apartment was located, but it's an image of another street downtown, although it's just a few minutes walk to it. We went in the winter, and the kitchen and bathroom are not heated, so the rooms were cold. The heating in the other rooms was fine after a couple of days. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the small balcony has a nice view on the Ria Formosa. The location is conveniently close to the train station, and with a rented car, it was easy to get on the N125 from there to go visit other towns and villages in the Algarve. The Supermercado was just a 15-minute walk from the apartment, and the small historical downtown is just a 10-minute walk. The apartment is large and had sufficient amenities in it to accommodate our 2-week stay. Thanks, Ivan.
