Loved the view and the furnishings in the living room, especially the plants. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much.
Ivan was a good host and responded quickly and well to our comments.
This is a spacious condo located in the Old Town a few minutes walk from the harbour and 20+ outdoor restaurants and cafes. The small balcony was perfect for sunset dinners for 2.
Apartment was great, clean airy with a nice little balcony overlooking the sea.
Near to both train and bus station for trips to nearby towns.
Ivan was a terrific host, picking us up from the airport and showing is around the marina and where the ferry goes..
The property was everything as advertised centrally located, close to bus and train stations and downtown Faro. The apartment was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Felisbela was very helpful, gave good suggestions for restaurants and areas for sightseeing. Highly recommend to stay in Faro.
The location is ideal and walkable to the Old City, Municipal Market, boat tours and many excellent restaurants including Hotel Faro rooftop bar and restaurant. The apartment has a sunny deck overlooking the train stations (noise not an issue) and out to the sea. It s spacious, bright and well equipped. Wash may be hung outside and fry in a day.
It was most comfortable, spacious and clean. Host is very professional. Very detailed checking in process which was very accurate. It is the best location you can asked for. We really enjoyed it
What a great property centrally located close to everything it could not have been more perfect for my needs very close to the train station and just seconds into the Old Town restaurants close by beautiful water views when I return to Faro I will most definitely try to stay here again I didn't want to leave I could have just moved in and stay ed it was so comfortable
A real sweet spot right in the heart of Faro. It is so convenient, especially for train and bus travelers. You can live without a car quite easily. We did rent a car for a little while, to look around elsewhere. Ivan is a wonderful host.
This was a great place to stay! Very clean and well equipped. Owner was very communicative. Very close to old Faro and train station is directly across street. I did not notice any train noise. Also a bar next door that you can get pastries or sandwiches. Would recommend.

Ivan was a wonderful host - friendly and readily available and went the extra mile to help us get to our next location.
His apartment is in a convenient and safe location. It is clean, bright and has all necessary standard amenities - even extra toilet tissue and salt and pepper!
It was a pleasure to stay in this apartment and meet our great host.
The apartment was located in a wonderful location, close to the water and the center of town. It was very comfortable inside and the decks were excellent to go out and view a sunset or a sunrise. We had breakfast on the deck every morning and enjoyed watching the boats move about.
Felisbela was very helpful and gave us some great suggestions and recommendations.
We absolutely loved the whole experience at the apartment and in Faro!
Nice sunny unit with balconies. Near waterfront and dozens of great restaurants. Ivan, the host, was easily reached by phone or Whatsap. Very comfortable and well equipped. 5 🌟.
This is a great property right by the train station - good but can be noisy if staying in the second bedroom area. Great view over the water and the balcony provides a nice area for relaxing and watching the sunset.
Close to mini- marts and lots of great restaurants. Walk around the old part of Faro. Our trip was especially good with Precious Tours looking after us.
Highly recommend.
A beautiful apartment, perfectly situated in Faro. Not only was the apartment as described, it is spacious and fully equipped for your needs. The view is peaceful and though some have mentioned train station noise, we didn't hear it in the apartment.
Most importantly, Ivan and his team went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and was very prompt in communication. Top quality host.
Absolutely wonderful stay in Faro. This is the place for you!
The property is a comfortable and well appointed apartment, but two things make it exceptional. The first is the location – just across the road from the bus station and train station with easy access to the whole of the Algarve; 10 minutes walk to all the best restaurants and bars in town; a very decent Spar supermarket just down the road; fifteen minutes walk to the ferry terminal to the Faro beach and the other islands of the Ria Formosa. The other factor is the wonderful outlook over the Ria Formosa, especially at sunset, a delight for bird watchers, plane spotters or anyone who loves spectacular sunsets. Faro itself is full of delights, artistic, historical and culinary.
We had a wonderful time!
The apartment is practically opposite the train station with views over the sea towards the airport, it is in a residential area and is the 4th floor up, there is a lift. A lovely living room, and the whole place is very clean. I personally found it difficult to sleep as it is quite noisy what with the airport, trains and general noise in street . Memory foam mattresses i find too hot and had to sleep above a bed with a cushion as the pillows are memory foam too. Ivan was good with communication and arranged a drop off to the airport for us, there is a lovely restaurant a few doors up, it is well situated for the marina etc.
The apartment was fairly spacious - there were 5 of us who stayed there. 3 family members shared the bigger room which had 3 single beds in it and my partner and I took the Master BR. All of us shared 1 bathroom which wasn’t an issue b/c we coordinated our showers times. The apartment was very clean and fairly well equipped to cook meals if we didn’t feel like eating out. We used Faro as our base and did day trips to other beautiful coastal towns. That worked out well for us as we had rented a van to travel in the Algarve area. The train station is located right across from the apartment building so if you don’t have a vehicle , you can easily take day trips via train to visit other coastal towns . We were happy with our accommodation and owner, Ivan was very responsive to our questions and gave clear instructions regarding check-in and check-out. Overall we were happy with our stay.
Ivan's communications were quick and efficient. Thanks Ivan. The apartment was just as shown in the listing, although we expected the street image to reflect the street where the apartment was located, but it's an image of another street downtown, although it's just a few minutes walk to it. We went in the winter, and the kitchen and bathroom are not heated, so the rooms were cold. The heating in the other rooms was fine after a couple of days. The neighbourhood is quiet, and the small balcony has a nice view on the Ria Formosa. The location is conveniently close to the train station, and with a rented car, it was easy to get on the N125 from there to go visit other towns and villages in the Algarve. The Supermercado was just a 15-minute walk from the apartment, and the small historical downtown is just a 10-minute walk. The apartment is large and had sufficient amenities in it to accommodate our 2-week stay. Thanks, Ivan.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and the layout was great. It was a perfect setup for my husband and 2 young kids. Ivan was really proactive and responsive - including pictures for the check-in process was really helpful. There was an express snack shop next door and we saw a lot of people hanging out there. It’s not in the downtown area, but still within walking distance (Faro isn’t very big). It’s across the street from the train station, down the street from the bus terminal, and has a bus stop right in front that will take you to the Faro Airport! We could literally see airplanes landing and taking off from our balcony, but it wasn’t noisy at night. The sliding glass doors had metal shades that blocked out light and noise at night, it was great. We spent a lot of time hanging out on the balconies and people watching. The only thing I will say is that, outside of the touristy spots, Faro looks largely looks in disrepair. If I could do it again, I would still chose this unit, but would probably have chosen another city to spend the bulk of our stay.
Excellent little apartment very near the town centre
Although close to the train station and not far from the flight path there was little to no noise.
A/C was working perfectly and adequate for the size of flat.
Access was easy with a working lift.
The views were great from the balcony.

So so
This property was ok to stay in for a very short period. I would not want to stay here for a long vacation. The location of the property, even though not too far from the main plaza, is not pleasant. The "view" pictures that are posted are very deceiving. The view of the boats are in the far distance. The direct view is a train station and some warehouses with industrial lots. It is not a two bedroom condo. The room with 3 beds have no dividing wall to the living room, so no privacy. I would not recommend it for family stay.
Appartement au 4eme étage avec superbe vue sur la Ria formosa.
Par contre une belle chambre mais ensuite 3 lits simples à côté du salon non fermé.
Bruyant avec train et aéroport à proximité.
Par contre propriétaire très sympa et disponible.
Bien pour visiter tavira côté est Algarve.
Nous avons séjourné trois jours dans cet appartement.Nous l’avons trouvé très chaleureux probablement dû aux nombreuses plantes qui s’y trouve.
Nous avions une superbe vue sur les couchés de soleil.
Appartement bien équipé. Aucun contact avec l’hôte en personne mais facilement ré joignable avec WhatsApp.
Les places de stationnement sont plutôt rares probablement dû à la proximité de la gare. Prenez note que la deuxième chambre est ouverte sur le salon.
Nous avons apprécié notre séjour au cœur de l’Agave, proche du centre historique de Faro.
