Helena's Marina apartment
Helena's apartment was ideal in all respects for us. We could walk the beach, restaurants etc. right from here. The apartment was nice and comfortable and well equipped. Thank you Helena for the nice welcome gift and the recommendations. It really added to our experience. Relaxing on the balcony was icing on the cake. Highly recommend and hope to return. Brad&Marg

Fantastic apartment in perfect location
This was our second stay at Helena's apartment and just as good as the first. The marina view is wonderful for watching the boats coming and going and people watching! The apartment is very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped and has a large comfortable bed and a well equipped kitchen. The railway station, bus station and the Pingo Doce supermarket are all within 5 minutes walking as are several excellent restaurants (make sure to try Tasca la Lota opposite the railway station) so you don't need to hire a car. We will definitely stay again!

Great location - everywhere is walkable
Sadly virtually everywhere is Lagos seemed to smell of drains with sewage actually floating in the marina. This affected out stay but was nothing to do with the apartment. The linen and towels were changed after a week (we had a two week booking) but we were a little surprised that only two toilet rolls were provided for a two week stay. Parking was great (close and free) but if you want to watch TV you better speak German - few UK channels. Overall a great stay since we could walk to the old town and the beach. The apartment was exactly as described, was clean and comfortable.

The apartment was ideal for 2 people. The large glass doors make it bright and welcoming with a lovely balcony and a view of the marina. The kitchen was well equipped but the microwave was too high to reach and could be dangerous when taking out hot food. We would stay here again.

Great Lagos Marina Location to Escape a February in 🇨🇦
The view was stunning with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful marina. The location is top notch. We were close to beach, town, grocery store and so many bars and restaurants. Marina Bar is a happening happy hour daily 3-6 pm. Fresh linens and towels weekly were of top quality. Loved that we each had a bathrobe for our stay. Helena met us upon arrival and left us with a complimentary bottle of Portuguese red wine and a bottle of water. She was always available for my many questions throughout process. We are sad to be leaving beautiful Lagos🌴☀️

This property is as shown!
This is a very nice unit. It is in older building and shows signs of the age ie cracked tiles etc. It is very nice well furnished but the furnishes are dated and somewhat saggy. The unit is very well equipped with all that is needed for a pleasant stay but very poorly provisioned, no shampoo, soap, one partial roll of toilet paper, same for paper towels. No dishwasher soap, no laundry soap and on and on. There is not even any salt and pepper, not to mention other basics. Those basics would make a stay so much more pleasant rather than having to find a store immediately. Helena was pleasant to deal with and even came to meet us at the train station. No problems there. Overall we would stay again and recommend it to others. The area is great, close to the old town overlooking the marina. Lots of places to eat in the immediate vicinity and a large store for groceries near by. Suggest some written instructions be put together.

Fabulous marina view apartment
The apartment was just as described, with a lovely balcony, gorgeous view and in a great location. Helena was on hand to welcome us to the apartment and responded to enquiries very quickly during our stay. She was a great host.. The addition of a DVD player would have been nice for overseas visitors as the tv could only get English news channels. We would recommend the apartment without reservation.

Great Apartment, Great Host!
Helena is the perfect host! Right from when we booked the apartment, communication with her was easy and her response was fast. She arranged the perfect pick-up from Faro airport and back. She met us at the apartment and showed us around with a welcoming bottle of wine and water. The apartment is exactly as it is on the photos and comes with everything needed to feel at home. The bedroom had a comfortable double bed covered in clean white bed linen. There were enough hangers in the wardrobes. We were also provided with sufficient towels. The bed linens and towels were changed every week. The floor to ceiling windows in the living room give you a beautiful view of the marina. The internet is fast and the TV has English, Portuguese, German and French channels. The kitchen is well equipped.... big fridge, washing machine, dish washer, microwave, coffee maker, blender and practically anything you need in a kitchen. There were also an ironing board, an iron, pegs and a hanger to dry clothes. In summary, the apartment provided everything we needed for our three week stay!

Top marks for location, view and facilities
We were in Lagos for 8 nights at the end of September 2019. We wanted to stay somewhere with a big balcony and a good view of all the comings and goings at the marina. This apartment didn't disappoint. As well as the view, we appreciated the size and facilities of the balcony (chairs, tables, loungers). The sun doesn't come onto the balcony until very late afternoon at that time of year, but we knew this in advance and were happy with that. Of course, the sun would be in a different position at other times of the year. The apartment itself was very comfortable with good facilities, including very strong wifi, coffee maker, washing machine and dishwasher (but you need to provide your own detergent). There was a good selection of TV channels in different languages including Portuguese, German, French and English. The building has a lift, but there are a few steps at the front door, and a small flight of stairs to get to the lift, but this wasn't a problem for us. The marina has lots of bars and restaurants, but we didn't hear any noise from these. It's about 2 minutes walk to the train station, 10 minutes to Meia Praia beach, 10 minutes to the large Pingo Doce supermarket, and 12 minutes to the town centre. So it's a great location. Helena met us to give us the keys, and we appreciated the bottle of wine that she left us. I'd definitely stay here again.

Great for reading on balcony and enjoying a wine people watching and looking at boats coming in. Really quiet and chilled. Loved every minute of staying here. So close to supermarket and main town.

Great Apartment
This apartment with a large balcony overlooking the marina was everything we could ask for. It was private and quiet but only 2 minutes walk from bars and restaurants plus 10 minutes walk from the town centre. We found we could walk to the beach in 20 minutes but that it was more convenient to use our hire car. The bed linen and towels were changed halfway through our stay, and we would really try and book this apartment again.

Luxurious well appointed apartment in a prime location.
Well situated on the Marina, bars and restaurants nearby but you can’t hear them in the apartment. 15 minute walk to the beach and centre of Lagos. Large balcony with view over the Marina, always something to look at. Owner is extremely helpful and recommended restaurants for us and even booked one for us. Navigador, highly recommended. We had a most enjoyable week and could not find fault with anything. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely place in the Marina
This is a cosy and charming apartment fronting right onto the marina. it is an easy walk to town. It is very close to a grocery store Pingo Doce. But our favourite was that it is so close to many good restaurants in the marina and also lots of happy hours. It is an easy eight minute walk to the walkways along the beach where you can walk forever. Helena was gracious and a great communicator. She was easy to deal with and very responsive. The apartment is extremely well furnished and the kitchen is fully equipped.

In september 2018 een week mogen verblijven in dit mooie appartement. Goed verzorgd en compleet geoutilleerd met een schitterend uitzicht vanaf het grote dakterras/balkon op de jachthaven vlak voor het appartement. Voorzien van een eigen parkeerplaats in de inpandige parkeergarage en op 15min loopafstand van het levendige centrum van Lagos. Een absolute aanrader!!!
