Casa Do Mercado

We loved the cental location with so many restaurants and activities literally on the door step.The property was well equipped with lovely comfortable bed and lots of hanging space .Sadly the weather wasnt great whilst we were there. So the garden was in constant shade so we werent able to make use of it. Also there is absolutely nowhere for taxis to stop outside which made drop off and pick up tricky.We got dropped off at the other entrance to the property and neither us or the driver knew how to get there.Luckily the lovely Alex was on hand to advise. Pick up was tricky too as there was nowhere outside for driver to stop. Would be better for all if arrangement was to meet taxis by the very nearby cable car stop. The decor was non existemt in that the property is just plain walls and the lighting was poor. Would have benefitted from a coat of paint and more lights. Despite that we had a good holiday , the nearby restaurants were all excellent. Selling all locally sourced beautiful fruit and vegetables and a huge quantity of excellent fresh fish readily available and the very local farmers market sells all this and much more too ,, though definitely worth a visit.Everyone that we met was very friendly and helpful and the area feels very safe, though on arrival we were a little worried there is no safe in the property, but once we settled in, realised this was probably not necessary. All in all, an enjoyable holiday, just a few little tweaks would make even better.

Beautiful property, extra 15.00 for parking a day. Street parking is challenging

Great apartment in a great location! The apartment and our host were both fabulous. The location is close to many shops, restaurants, and the water, but is fairly quiet because the units face an inner garden instead of the street.
