Apartment 300 meters from the beach

Apartment was clean and we were given a warm and friendly welcome by the owner. However, they didn't present any paperwork to us on arrival for us to check off per Flatio's recommendation.

We soon found the fibre internet connection was not as described and confirmed with the owner before we moved in, as 30MB/s i.e. 300Mbits speed. It was only 28Mbits down 16Mbits up, useless for our work involving AI and local LLM downloads. We couldn't even play two YT Premium videos simultaneously!

Unexpectedly, the owner was traveling abroad so we contacted MEO internet service provider who told us it was an old legacy service which could easily be upgraded for a few Euros pm with a phone call from owner only.

We messaged the Owner who replied she had had no complaints before and refused to upgrade even though it was only a few Euros to do so. We wasted 2 weeks work time finding an unlimited 5G SIM that worked. FYI there's only one, from NOS, which works at full speed truly unlimited.

Also, loud motorised lifting machinery arrived outside the apartment after a few days in the first week causing a lot of disruptive noise and vibration in the apartment. We reported this and sent a video of the equipment to the owner. She replied the work had not finished in May and it had to be completed sorry. This work continued for most of our stay. Loud workmen held a conference at 8am outside our bedroom most mornings.

Offering this apartment without warning of impending disruptive building work was very inconsiderate of potential tenants. We would not have rented this apartment had we known of either of the above.

Szomszédság
Building site 2 blocks away distance made it not very noisy from that site. Otherwise, generally quiet neighborhood. Spar 10 minute walk and Continente in Tavira Plaza 10 minute taxi ride for 10 Euros.

Ajánlott helyek a közelben
Tavira Plaza for shopping. American Barber & Salon at R. Cmte. Henrique de Brito 17 8800-591 Tavira - again 10 minute walk away. Very friendly and experienced hairdresser. We both enjoyed our time with him.
