The view!

No aircon, it was almost impossible to sleep at night. A beach umbrella would have been a nice touch. We left one in the apartment.

Sea view and surrounding.

It was close to the Albufeira city center and the residencial complex was nice, clean and quiet. We were able to find a parking place easily.

It wasn’t quite like in the pictures. The studio wasn’t very clean, there was a damp smell inside, and the finishes and furniture felt quite cheap. The TV remote didn’t have any batteries, so the TV was unusable. The biggest issue, however, was that the apartment was full of ants. On the first night, we only saw two or three near the kitchen area, but by the second night, there were many of them in the single bed (photos attached). Another inconvenience was being asked by the owner to take out the garbage upon checkout, even though we only stayed for three nights. We complied with all requests, but this was the first time we’ve ever encountered such a requirement.
