What a fantastic apartment. We stayed as a family of four and never felt overly cramped, bed linen and towels spotless, and a nice roomy bathroom. Balcony wraps around apartment so partly shaded later in day which was welcome.
As has been said before when you open the curtains you really have the most amazing view over Old Town Albufeiria. This does come at a cost as loads of steps involved. Around 50 from street level to this apartment, and 100 in total to get to the pool which is at a lower level again. This didnt put us off and was great for the legs. Might be something to bear in mind if you have small children or for anyone with mobility issues.
We went to the pool most days and never had any trouble finding a bed. The whole area was very clean. A big bonus was the bar/restaurant which overlooks the pool was open - we didnt expect this. Handy for a Sangria or beer adding in some chips after the pool.
Air-conditioning is advertised with this apartment, it is a mobile unit and took us a few days to work out the best way to use it. Lots of fans supplied too which was great for nights. We soon realised we had to keep the balcony windows shut all night as Albufeiria seems to party to after 4am and then when it falls quiet the seagulls take their turn. They also kind leave lots of poop on balcony but there are brushes / mops etc supplied to take care of this. Probably worse in this apartment as higher up.
All in all we had a fantastic stay in Phillippas apartment and would highly recommend.
She also organised our airport transfers which were very prompt both ways.

We have just returned from our 9 night stay at the apartment. Had a great holiday and the apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the balcony is amazing with great views of the old town. Very good communication with Philippa who was very informative and there was also lots of information available within the apartment about the area. Airport transfers arranged by the host were great. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again
