6 week stay
This apartment has a 5 star location with the promenade, the bus stop and sea right outside the condo building. The small grocery store in the rather tired looking Centomar mall next door is very convenient for most all necessities including getting the Giro bus pass ticket and topping it up. It is a 12 minute walk up a gradual hill to the Forum shopping mall where the big Pingo Doce grocery store is situated. I would walk up and then use Bolt to taxi back with groceries at 4 euros. The apartment has good natural light and high ceilings. The building is showing it’s age. 3W is on the third floor with 2 large balconies. The dishwasher and washing machine appear quite new, the refrigerator is old but works fine. The 4 burner gas cooktop needs replacing as I had to use a bbq lighter to light the front 2 burners. Be aware that if you use the oven at the same time as the washing machine you will blow the breaker. There is a large pantry with many dishes although the odd assortment of wine glasses needs some additions. Pots for cooking were fine for my needs but frying pans need replacing. Lots of towels and sheets and blankets. The building is quiet and appeared safe, although the front entry doors were unlocked most days of my 6 week stay. When I was solo for several weeks, I was conscious of the fact that anyone could enter the building. I hope I have disclosed in an honest way, my experience. Overall I would recommend staying here, mostly due to the amazing location.
