Great apartment in the center of old town Lagos
My wife and I rented this apartment for one week in July 2018. We were very pleased with all aspects of our stay and would definitely want to stay here again the next time we are in Lagos. We didn't have a car and arrived by train. Adrian (the property manager) was very friendly and helpful. He picked us up at the train station and drove us to the apartment to drop off our luggage, showed us around the apartment and made us feel comfortable. There is very little parking near the apartment, so it is best for someone who plans to walk or use public transportation (train/bus). There are several very good restaurants very close by. We especially liked Casa do Prego and Mar d'Estorias, which were both within one block. There is a small grocery store within a block, with a larger grocery about one mile away. The beach (Praia da Batata) is a 10 minute walk and you can walk from beach to beach through a series of tunnels - at least when it's not high tide. The "alley" in front of the apartment is only for pedestrians (i.e., no cars) and is relatively quiet. We felt very safe, but were not out late at night. The apartment is on the first floor (meaning "second" floor) and you can either use the stairs or a small elevator. The bedrooms and bathroom are of good size. One of the bedrooms faces the alley and there is a very bright street light right outside, so you would need to keep the blinds drawn. We stayed in the back bedroom which opens into the courtyard. There are good air conditioners in each room that can be used when needed. The internet was reliable and fast. In summary, we very highly recommend this apartment.

Great apartment in old town
Overall, it was a great choice. Very good location in heart of old town. Note: it can be noisy at night in the room that faces the street. Service was good, however some small details were missing in the appartment which should be improved for the next customers : - no toilet paper upon arrival, needed to find a local store - after day 2, we discovered that the gas stove was not working, it had to be fixed by a concierge. - kitchen was very well furnished, with quality furnitures but it was missing kitchen mittens and kitchen towel. We had to use one of the bathroom towels for the oven.. - the curtains in the bedrooms are transparent which is not very convenient for both bedrooms at night. External people can see through and it prevents the room from being fully dark.

The apartment is very central and bars and restaurants are on the door step. The apartment was clean and spacious and has everything you need. I would rent through Algarve Retreats again without hesitation and found the whole process stress free. Tracey was professional and helpful and organised our taxi from the airport.

Great stay
Well appointed and well equipped. A little noise at 6am and the bathroom lock didn't work but apart from that, we were very pleased with the property and the facilities. A guide to places and restaurants would be helpful. We enjoyed Lagos and will definitely return.
