First, the host was super friendly and brought oranges from the family fruit farm - very juicy and sweet oranges, and such a warm welcome.

Kitchen had everything you could want and more - even a hand blender, which we used to make a big healthy soup!

Accessibility- the building is quite dated, and accessibility probably wasn’t in the planning. There is 2 steps up to the entrance, and 4 steps in the lobby before you get to the lift, which is also very narrow - so this may be difficult if you have a pram or wheelchair.

While the building is dated, the apartment itself has had a full renovation and feels very modern, with a couple of traditional items of furniture in the living space - which give it a really unique feel.

There are also windows running the whole length of the living room, which means there’s always plenty of light coming in, making the space feel bigger.

There is easily enough space to do a home workout - either in the lounge if you move some furniture around, or on the long balcony - which runs the length of, and is accessible from both of the bedrooms. Plus, the streets in the surrounding area are perfect if you like to run in your neighbourhood.

The workspace available in the apartment is brilliant. Both bedrooms have a desk with a really big 2nd monitor - unfortunately the monitor is not height adjustable, but the chair is so you can optimize the set up a little to make it right for you.

The desks are also set up with lamps so you can get the lighting just how you like it.

The interest was also very fast and reliable here - 250mbps!

Getting work done here was no problem all.

I felt very at home here - small things like lots of hangers in the wardrobes and having a laundry basket made it feel really convenient, not like many other mid term rentals!

This listing was 100% as described, and I’ll be happy to stay here again in Faro.

Szomszédság
The neighbourhood was a little out of the centre of Faro, around 20mins from the marina.

The surrounding area seemed a little run down, but only in the same way that the outskirts of any city is.

Even if slightly run down, it didn't feel especially unsafe or dangerous at any point.

We didn't use any public transport here, as it's such a walkable area.

Yellow Bourbon coffee was a nice place to get a morning coffee and even do a short stint of work.

There are 3 supermarkets in walking distance
Pingo Doce across the road
Lidl and Continente both around 15/20 mins.

This apartment is great! Located near most utilities. The Owner was able to answer our questions quickly.

The apartment is located at one of the major roundabout in Faro. There is a grocery store near by. Pedestrian crossing is a breeze. Parking is available but sometimes could be a bit hard depending of the time. There is a Hospital nearby, meaning this come with short ambulance siren. Nice neighborhood!

The Forum mall is great. We went to the seafood restaurant Gimbras (12 minutes walk). This family restaurant is a place you should GO. I bet you will never have a better food and service!
