Palmeiras Apartment - 19A by HelloVacations

The layout and style is great. They have thought of a lot of detail with things you may need on your holiday, even the welcome pack with cleaning things. Very home from home. Plenty of storage. Plenty of towels. The location is great. It's around 10 minutes walk to the beach and old town (by escalators), there is a great mini supermarket opposite, an ATM machine at the end of the road. If you walk 5 minutes to the Brisa Sol hotel there is an amazing patisserie which also serves meals, highly recommended. It felt safe. It is in a quiet residential street.

These are just our niggles that could be improved but didn't ruin our lovely stay... There are no mirrors in each bedroom,I feel this would be handy for getting ready rather than have to come out into the hallway or dining room. On close inspection the floor rugs, chairs and duvets were stained/grubby. I guess as we stayed at the end of season that may be why, but I feel duvets could be washed and replaced for each guest. There was building work in an apartment below so there was banging and drilling from 8.50 until gone 6pm every day. I made the owner aware and they were not informed of this, so no fault of theirs. We were out most of the day so it was only an annoyance whilst being there and getting ready in the morning. The joining instructions really should specify clearly that it is apartment H. It isn't clear so we were not sure what apartment which was frustrating on arrival. With 5 of us showering, by shower 4 the water starts to get cold so improvement of this would help larger families/groups. Even with this, we would 100% stay again.

Very nice with everything at your disposal. Would definitely stay again

Great location. Clean and quiet. Lovely decor.

The kettle tripped the electrics. I messaged the owner on booking.com and was told someone would come and collect it. This did not happen and it was not replaced during our stay. Small issue but we had to boil water on the hob for hot drinks. The air con is too efficient….we all had a freezing first night before we realised that increasing the temperature of the air con to 24 degrees was comfortable. Whoever sleeps on the sofa bed has an early wake up due to the sheer curtains.

Location was great and host was great in offering recommendations on what to do and where to eat.

Great apartment, perfect location and really friendly lady showed us in and gave us great recommendations of local restaurants etc.
