Bad experience

Our booking was canceled by the host one week prior to departure. They simply did not charge the remainder to my credit card, then claimed that the Appartement was not paid and then canceled. Even worse, the host kept the advance payment. Worst online experience ever! DO NOT BOOK HERE!
Stayed 9 nights in Aug 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept 2024
Dear Roland, The platform VRBO cancelled your reservation automatically due to lack of payment. This was done days after payment was due and cancelation policy was already in effect. We have sent email reminders regarding payment to the email provided upon booking. We have received no replies to these emails. Kind regards Tiago An island Apart

Subashini v.

Unhappy customer

It was very disappointing experience. Non-functional utilities, ex. dishwasher. Apt Was not Stocked with basic amenities like shampoo, tissues, paper towels.. etc. For a two bedroom apt, the 2nd room was a joke with super tiny and creaky beds, absolutely no space for two people to be in the room at the same time. No air conditioning and fan were not helpful either.

Hello Subashini, Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, it’s really important for us to improve each day. We will take into account the issues you mentioned and fix it as soon as possible. You will always be welcome at our properties :)

Très bien placé et spacieux, garage appréciable

Grand appartement que l'on peut partager avec des amis en ayant chacun sa salle de bains. Le garage est bien pratique et facile d'accès. L'eau chaude est très capricieuse, est-ce dû au fait que le chauffe-eau est situé dans une buanderie sur balcon ? Petite supérette et restaurants (je recommande "O Justiniano") à proximité immédiate par le petit passage qui mène à l'avenue de l'Infant. Accueil très sympatique.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 May 2026

Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again. Best Regards An Island Apart

Tudo muito bom. Boa localização. Parque de estacionamento privado. Wi-Fi. Água quente sempre. Limpeza. Coisas menos boas. Fácil de mudar. O barulho do exaustor na wc da suite. Meter uma melhor tv na sala com comando. De resto tudo excelente.

Never again

We booked the place for 1 month, but wanted to leave the next day. Ended up staying 2 weeks, as the city was overbooked during the high season. Communication was next to none: they even failed to meet us at the apartment, even though their taxi took us there. The apartment is run by an agency, so don’t expect a very warm attitude. The entrance to the building has giant cockroaches(yes, really). They are there almost 100% of the time, so unless you arrive by car, you will be playing a jumping game trying not to step on them each time you enter/exit the building. The apartment looks much nicer on pictures, than in real life. Very poorly decorated, worn and with extremely uncomfortable beds. There’s no aircon. This means you’re either stuck with fans that make a lot of noise or you need to open the window, where again you’ll hear a lot of noise in the morning/at night. You can live in this apartment, you won’t die or anything, but you probably won’t enjoy it very much. Our vacation was a bit ruined by this apartment. One of the worst Airbnb’s I’ve stayed in. Not sure how come it has such nice reviews.

Spacious appartment, with everything you need

Illheus III is a very spacious appartment with really all you need. We never before had an appartment so fully equiped. Even an own parking place in the garage, which is very handy in Funchall. Shops, restaurants and supermarket nearby.
