Apartment was ideal for my daughter and me. Only a few minutes walk to the beach and lots of restaurants, bars and shops.Lovely balcony with a sea view for morning coffee. Gail the owner was very helpful and quick to reply to any queries. Although close to nightlife if you want it the apartment was quiet and the bed comfy.
Loved the location of the property, the apartment itself was clean and modern, everything you needed, we enjoyed sitting out in the balcony every morning where you had a great sea view and people watching.
The pool was a good size and we always got a sunbed.
The Old Town Square was only a few minutes walk so even though it was quiet at the apartment you were never far away from the many bars and restaurants.
Definitely would stay again
Gail is a host travellerâs dream of. So detailed and excellent fast communication for any question. unit is super clean, spotless, no clutter or smell! Excellent location too. Would highly recommend!
Me and my wife stayed for a week at Bay view and I have to say it is one of the best apartments weâve been in.
Very modern, very clean with everything you need also the location was spot on with a lovely sea view and literally 5 mins walk to the old town
The communication with the host Gail was excellent answering all my questions very promptly
Everything went so smooth from booking to arriving and then to actually leaving.
Weâve already booked for next June and it canât come soon enough.
Nice apartment which had all the facilities we needed for our stay in Portugal. Had some trouble with ants and drainage smells but that's no fault of the host. We were able to check in early which was very much appreciated and Gail checked in with us during the end of our stay. The apartment is well located and the balcony seaviews were just a dream. We will definitely be back!
Location was perfect for us. Convenient for access to Old Town and the beach, but quiet so that we could get a good nightâs rest. Communication with the owner was appreciated. Difficulty in finding the location to begin with due to construction and the building signage is not visible from the street. Available parking spot was appreciated, but it is a bit dodgy so we opted for a spot in the parking lot outside the garage. No issue finding space in October.
The property is very clean and comfortable. We had a 1.5 yo with us and he enjoyed the paddling pool and a nearby beach (which also had a lift which was very handy). Gail, the host made us feel very welcome and helped with organising transfers, which was very kind of her.
There was a lovely view from the balcony, we enjoyed our morning coffees there.
The flat is in old town which is better for families with kids (new part can be loud with all the clubbing) and short distance walk to many restaurants and a convenience shop. 5 stars for this property đ nearby marina is a 20 min walk
The 1 bedroom apartment was as advertised on VRBO. It was easy to find, getting keys was easy and the owner was very responsive.
We found the location ideal.
Para uma estadia de 3 noites, 1 casal com 1 filho, foi muito bom. Estå muito bem equipada , apesar de não termos feito todas as refeiçÔes. Faltou só um microondas. De resto nada a apontar. A repetir....
Gerne wieder, wenn das Problem des Geruchs nach Kloake gelöst ist.
Sehr sauber und die Lage ist super, genauso wie beschrieben. Alles in der NĂ€he.
Es war keine Kaffeemaschine vorhanden (war auch in der Ausstattung nicht angegeben), haben diese aber dann am darauffolgenden Tag bekommen. Leider sind die Pfannen nicht mehr zu benutzen.
Was uns den Aufenthalt wirklich sehr unangenehm gemacht hat, war der sehr unangenehme Geruch. Das war wirklich widerlich. Wir haben dies gleich am ersten Tag reklamiert, leider wurde nichts dagegen unternommen "we know about the Problem, it goes on and off, we are working on it"...hat uns den Aufenthalt schon ziemlich vermiest.
Very disappointing, not clean and the smell from sinks was horrendous
Albuferia was as fab as ever but the accommodation has put me off ever renting an apartment again, we had to take the mosquito net down as the dust actually affected our breathing and the smell from the drains was really concerning, such shame.
Owned and managed by Husband and Wife Team, Darren and Gail Sykes, we live in Sao Bras de Alportel in the Eastern Algarve and have over 20 years experience of managing self-catering holiday rentals in this area. We purchased our apartment in the Bay View complex in January 2013 and we continue to update it every winter to ensure that our Guests have everything they need to enjoy the wonderful Algarve.
The apartment is situated in an ideal situation above the Old Town which means access to the beach, bars, shops and restaurants are within a few minutes walk.
Location at the top of the Old Town means that you will have easy access to the beach, bars and restaurants while not being disturbed by large groups as you can do in the New Town area. The apartment has an outstanding view over the Ocean and we provide little extras such as beach towels at no addtional costs to save on the packing
