The apartment was excellent. The location was very good and the owners, David and Ana were also very friendly. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone

This apartment is in a great location, close to 2 beaches, the strip and the old town. Nothing is more than a 20 min walk away. Local shops, supermarkets and restaurants are only 5-10 min walk away. The apartment itself has everything you need and more. It is home from home without being too homey! The decor is modern and there was plenty of space even for a family of five! Nice shower and excellent kitchen facilities, including a washing machine. Lovely swimming pool which most of the time was not overcrowded and a nice patio/balcony overlooking the pool so that you can watch your kids swim without having to be there. David and Ana were very accommodating with our flights and allowed us to stay in the apartment till we needed to leave on the last day, which was fantastic! I cannot recommend this apartment, location and David and Ana enough. I would love to have stayed longer.

Well situated apartment, within walking distance to beaches and the fishermans beach in Albufeira. The apartment catered for all facilities needed and I would not hesitate in recommeding this accommodation.

Facilities, location, property condition, value for money(price) all unbeatable. Owners delightful and helpful. One problem we had was sorted immediately. Apartment is central Algarve, central Albufeira. In a quiet location but close to bars (quiet one next door to the apartment block) restaurants, shops and beach. The flat is spacious (every room and balcony) well equipped with everything. Proper serviced pool in a quiet garden. Private secure parking. Good Wifi. Ground floor entry from the front and you are first floor level at the rear overlooking the pool and garden. Great.

Very well equipped flat with everything anyone would need. A quiet but central location, near to tourist land train and buses which go to most places in Albufeira. A few nice bars and restaurants close by, short walk to shops. Ana and David are very nice and very helpful. Only possible drawback is the launderette under the flats which rattles on quite late some nights but if you are out enjoying the nightlife no problem.Overall a good choice for Albufeira, good for families or friends.

Spacious apartment- within walking distance of 'The Strip' and old town. David met us on arrival and showed us round-glad we had such a good apartment as the weather the first week was poor- cards and dominoes came in handy!!! Needs info for guest to bring towels for the pool/soap and toilet rolls. Liquid soap dispensers would be handy in the bathroom and kitchen. Brilliant to have a fully-equipped kitchen as well love to cook.. Thanks David & Ana.

We stayed at David and Ana's apartment at Areias-Mar from 10/8/13 to 24/8/13 .They both waited at the apartment for us to arrive and proceeded to explain everything concerning the apartment and surrounding area.We can recommend the Panacee restaurant which is more than less opposite the apartment, Walkers bar which is not very far away and Farnels steak restaurant which is just off the Strip.David & Ana went out of their way to look after our suitcases on our last day after having to leave the apartment at 12 mid-day.Thank you once again.

Arrived at the appartment late on Sunday evening as agreed to be met by both David & Ana. They took their time to show me around the large and spacious apartment, which was more than big enough for me as an individual. The apartment could sleep up to 6 if the group included a couple. Realistically one bedroom for 1 or a couple (double bed) and then 2 beds plus the 2 sofas as additional beds. Though not a problem for my single stay and something I would consider for a Lads golf weekend, the layout with the 2 beds cordoned off Japanese style in the large living area would give everyone an idea of the layout up front. As well as the Sofa area pictured there is an equivalent area from the main entrance with Large dining table and a side board. Note the Shower in the bathroom is more than just an addition to the bath and has various settings, Drench, normal and jets, very welcoming for someone who was struggling with a shoulder problem at the time. The kitchen is large and adequately supplied Including Large Fridge Freezer, Kettle Toaster, Microwave, hob oven etc. There is a seperate Utility area including a wsahing machine. There was ample Cupboard storage (hanging and draws) for the advertised number of occupants The Balcony will catch the Afternoon to sunset sunshine and looks out over the pool. Exit from the front of the building is at ground floor level and is ideally placed centrally within Albufeira and takes a few minutes to hit the middle of the strip, passing several good restaurants on the way. There are local coffee bars and a hairdresser / sports massage studio 50 yards from the building as well as a portugese "diner" pay by the weight within 200 yards. Main Supermarket is 1 Km away so a short walk or 2-3 mins by car. Very clean, ideally located apartment, which is good value for money, having spent many holidays in Portugal in larger groups in villas, I did not feel that I had compromised by my choice of this accomodation despite its good value, I would definitely return and use this again, and it gave me everything I was looking for, easy access to the whole of the Algarve (East, played golf looking over to the spanish border, to West, beaches). Yet could then come home in the evening and had a wide variety of options for eating out and socialising without the need to use a car, which was safely parked in the secured parking area. BTW - I would not normally give out a 5 but could not fault this property on any front as it met all my expectations. Davd and Ana - thank you
