Apartment Laura, Romantic stay, Free WiFi

Location was great. Lovely and quiet

Apartment was well presented inside. It was easy to collect the keys from the host. We arranged to meet and she was flexible with our arrival time. It was quiet and pleasant. Good cooking facilities. Well equipped kitchen and everything in good working order. Nearby mall with a couple of supermarkets, restaurants and bars, catering more for tourists than for locals. Nothing too exciting.

The communal grounds felt slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading. There were construction works going on in the swimming pool area so this was empty and not available. We were offered to use the swimming pool of another development a few minutes walk away on the same road. The location is on top of the hill and there are no public transport options available to go down to Puerto Rico or Amadores. It is a very steep hill, about 25 minutes walk down the hill with steps but going up the hill can be challenging. Taxis are easy to flag from the town. Parking nearby is possible but depending on the time of the day you may need to park a few minutes away from the property. Puerto Rico feels slightly too touristic and does not have much charm. It is good for sun, beach, restaurants and bars but nothing historical or cultural around.

Where the apartment was located

No pool for the full stay. It was being renovated but was not given the option to change accommodation. Not very clean upon our arrival. Had to clean the bathroom and shower upon our arrival. No toilet paper for bin bags upon our arrival. Had to buy our own. Owner very rude Was supposed to pick us up from the airport but never arrived. Very unprofessional.
