Oct 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Portimao Praia da Roca Die Wohnung liegt nahe am Strand und ist modern eingerichtet. Nur ist sie etwas spartanisch wenn man mit 3 Personen darin wohnen möchte. Damit meine ich Geschirr und Kochutensilien. Es müsste sich mal jemand der Duschkabine annehmen bei welcher eine Schiebetür nicht mehr funktioniert hat und auch die Kaffeemaschine war nicht zur Mitarbeit zu bewegen. Beide Defekte sind nicht bei uns aufgetreten sondern waren schon länger vorhanden. Auch müsste es in der Wohnung einen Hinweis geben wo sich die Bettwäsche für die Schlafcouch versteckt wenn man diese nutzen möchte .... Ansonsten ein wirklich schöner Platz um von dort aus die Algarve zu erkunden und einen guten Urlaub zu verbringen. ##### Silvio K. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anna-Lena P.
