So Sweet Center of Faro Flat

Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und war jederzeit erreichbar, falls ich Fragen hatte. Der Check-in und Check-out verliefen reibungslos und problemlos. Die Wohnung ist modern, stilvoll und sehr gut ausgestattet – es fehlt an nichts. Die Lage ist perfekt: ruhig, aber gleichzeitig zentral, sodass man in wenigen Minuten zu den Geschäften, Restaurants und dem Hafen gelangt.

Die Parkplatzsuche war etwas anstrengend, aber wenn man was gefunden hat, waren die Parkplatzgebühren moderat und man konnte mit easypark online buchen.

According to the advert on Booking.com at the time we booked, the apartment had a pool, as well as a view of the pool. This was very important to us (we were only looking at properties with pools). Prior to booking the apartment, we contacted the agent advertising the property to ask whether there were sun loungers and umbrellas at the pool. We were told that it was a shared condominium pool and did not have sun loungers for use free of charge. However, when we arrived at the property, it transpired that there was in fact no pool whatsoever. We contacted the agent that very day. We received no response until 4 days later. When the agent finally responded, much to our shock, they admitted that a mistake had been made, but failed to offer any compensation. The weather was very hot during our stay in Faro, and we would have loved to have had a dip in pool every day. Not only did the lack of a pool substantially diminish our enjoyment of the holiday, but the poor manner in which the agent’s mistake was dealt with also caused considerable concern and irritation during what was supposed to be a very relaxing time away. We informed the agent that their response was unacceptable. It’s unfortunate that the agent has not seen fit to respond at all since then (and this only speaks to their lack of decency). Our time away was very much marred by the agent’s misrepresentation. This is unfortunate as, otherwise, the apartment is very nicely decorated and very well located within the centre of Faro. The apartment kitchen (which is part of the living room) is very well-stocked, and there is a large tv in the living room and one of the bedrooms. The only criticisms we would make of the apartment are that: 1. The air conditioning in the main bedroom is very noisy and very difficult to turn on and off. 2. The apartment benefits from a lovely outdoor terrace. However, this is shared with another apartment. Fortunately, during most of our stay, the other apartment was unoccupied.

On the last day of our stay, however, a group moved into the other apartment, and we could hear them talking on the terrace from inside the apartment, and this disrupted our sleep. They were not talking particularly loudly - it was simply that the set up of the apartments and terrace meant that noise from the terrace was easily audible inside the apartment. 3. There is no lift within the building - the apartment is on the first floor. We had to carry our baby’s pram up and down the stairs each time we came in and out.
