Estrela do Mar

-The view was amazing, I didn’t even want to leave my flat as I just wanted to stay on the balcony and enjoy looking at the ocean. -Location was super accessible too, 5min walk to the ocean and best restaurants, 30 seconds to the supermarket and there also smaller food shops nearby. There is also a Thai massage salon next to the property which I visited on my last evening (note that most shops have 5 euro minimum spend if you are paying by card) -The host was amazing, arranged a very easy key pick up and also warned about the distance from the bus station to the property in advance. They also left me a surprise present for my birthday which was unexpected and really nice :) -Kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook your own food, plenty of spare towels are also provided. -Good wifi connection

-The sound isolation is poor, you can hear the neighbours talking in the hallway. It didn’t bother me, but if you are a light sleeper that could be an issue. Also there’s a church next to the property and they ring the church bell every hour. -There was only one tiny shower gel provided and no hand soap, I had my own travel shower gel with me, but I ran out of both. -Be careful to place the air conditioning pipe in the plastic bottle that is on the balcony. On the first night I didn’t know about it and the water from the pipe leaked on the balcony and left a puddle

Everything. Spotless. Extra touches. Quiet neighbours. Amazing location. Most of all the view we woke to everyday was perfect.

Nothing.

Excellent Location, great shower, the apartment was nice and clean. Lively view

No beside tables, very noisey apartment with thin doors, walls and window. Apartment felt very dated. Would benefit from quilts.

The room was clean and had a great view of the sea. The location was really good.

Be patient when you arrive, you might have to contact the Agency (Booking) to get in contact with the Owner to get the keys. But other than that, the stay was great! Theres a big portion that will need to be paid in Cash, so just be ready to have it. The Owner informs you of this 2 to 3 days before you arrive, we were prepared so it was ok.

The views and the room were great

Upon arrival, the only payment accepted by the property was cash. We had to find somewhere to get the money even though booking said they accepted card. Also, they DON’T HAVE PARKING. You can park freely on the street but finding a spot nearby it’s not granted whatsoever.
