Positive: The place is very well situated, in the cute district with colorful houses and less than 10 minutes of walk from the main beaches. Whole place is a brand new, it’s a renovated traditional Lagos house, everything is spotless clean, modern and new. The room is much better then on the actual pictures, with several nice decorative features and big window. The bathroom is modern and with a window too. One of the best things in this place is it’s beautiful terrace on the top floor, you can enjoy view of Lagos while drinking your morning coffee. Catharina is a thoughtful host, she was reactive in communication, met me in person when I arrived and quickly solved a small problem during my stay. I think that it’s in overall a promising new place to stay in Algarve.. Negative: Nevertheless, as it’s an honest review, I’ll talk as well about several small problems and details to improve. The main thing that bothered me was a street lamp just in front of my window (room 1), which is so bright by night, that it’s like a broad daylight in the room. You can shutter the windows, but then you don’t have an air flow and you have to sleep with the AC on. Or, you can wear a mask for eyes. So, the solutions exist. There was a small problem of shower leaking outside (with the shower door closed off course) - it left each time some water in front of the shower door. Which dry fast by hot weather. But may be something could be mended with that shower door. Catharina offers coffee (which is great!)- there is a coffee machine with capsules. But, the plastic cups are tiny, they are smaller then coffee capsules! The bigger (why not normal reusable cups) would be very appreciated. At some point I was so desperate that I used a washed yogurt container to make me coffee. And just to help Catharina to make this place perfect, I would suggest to create a shade at her terrace, to be able to use it any time of the day and not just very early in the morning and late in the evening. Because the sun there is strong and hot and you can’t enjoy this very open terrace most of the day. Some cushions on chairs would be great too..
