City Stays Atalaia Apartments

The photos on Booking.com made the place look perfect, so I wouldn't rely on them. We were told that morning that a leak had happened that same day and that one of the two bathrooms couldn't be used. But the floor had soaked up so much water that the bathroom door wouldn't shut, and the ceiling in the other bathroom was covered in a shocking amount of mold. It looked like the problem had been there for days, not just that day.

We booked this run-down building's apartment for eight people and three days, and came away disappointed. It was very dirty, with leftovers from whoever stayed before us. Each bathroom had just one tiny soap bar and one small shower gel. There weren't enough towels, and the sheets for the sofa bed looked used. The owner said the sofa bed slept two, but with the poor cleanliness, I really can't recommend this place.

The street was noisy, though we had been told to expect that. The apartment itself was nice.

Beautiful spot, and everything was clean.
