The apartment is spacious, conveniently located, and offers a spectacular ocean view from the large balcony. Communication with the host was also excellent. These factors alone could sell the rental, but the place feels tired (both the unit itself and the building), and we experienced a few shortcomings that diminished our enjoyment of the rental, all of which could be easily improved. The double bed was comfortable, but only had a thin bedspread, and there were no spare blankets provided anywhere in the apartment. Out of 6 Vrbos we rented throughout Portugal, this is the only rental that did not provide spare bed-coverings, or any shampoo in the 2 bathrooms. Lastly, the kitchen did not meet our cleanliness expectations; several of the appliances including the coffee maker and kettle had caked-on residue and we had to wash any dishes before using them. These issues were disappointing, as with a little more cleaning and maintenance, the apartment would be more satisfying to a broader range of renters. On the plus side, check-in with Marta's friendly assistance, and the provision of secured parking were both very much appreciated, thank you David.
