About this apartment rental
## Space
Fantastic location within the St James complex, elevated ground floor overlooking the gardens and the sea. The Boa Vista Golf resort is a 5-minute drive, and there are 6 others within 20 minutes drive.
The open lounge dining area is a great place to relax after a day of playing golf, site-seeing or chilling by the shared pool in the complex. The balcony has lovely views where you can have your evening meal or late-night drink, soaking up the warm evening sun. This is a great place to enjoy yourself with friends or family. If cooking is not for you, try one of the great local restaurants.
The kitchen, fully fitted (full-size fridge with freezer, electric oven, combined gas/electric hob, gas water heater, dishwasher and washing machine), has everything you need to make a quick snack or create a four-course meal using some of the fresh produce that is available from one of the many local markets.
There are three bedrooms, one with two single beds and one with a double bed share the family bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The rooms with double beds and the living room have large sliding doors with shutters. The lounge and the master bedroom also enjoy airconditioning.
The communal gardens, adult and children communal pools with beautiful surrounding terraces and lawns are fantastic for children!
Digital nomads - this property has a second WIFI set up as back up in case one goes down.

## Neighborhood
Luz is a quaint little holiday getaway along the Algarvian coastline. Shops, bars and restaurants and a beautiful beach are right on your doorstep. Set amidst spectacular coastal scenery, you can take your time to explore the stunning cliffs, undiscovered beaches, neighbouring quaint villages and the national park. But then, it’s just a 15-minute drive to Lagos's regional capital if you want a bit more action.
The complex is a short walk from the supermarket, bars, restaurants and other shops and only a 2-minute walk to the beautiful, child-friendly beach. Great for surfing and other watersports activities like diving, snorkelling and sailing. And near one of the many hiking trails down the cliffs.
Lagos is the perfect holiday destination with a lively historical centre full of shops, (super)markets, a marina, bars and restaurants. It is known for its breathtaking cliffs, and we highly recommend a boat, kayak or SUP tour to see them from the water. The town has a picturesque historical centre, great food and friendly people. It is located on the coast. You can enjoy several watersports activities such as surfing and sailing. There are many activities for all ages and preferences in this area.
## Transit
You can reach Lagos in about one hour by car from Faro Airport, and car rental is available in the airport's parking lot. By train, it will take about 2,5 to 3 hours.
You can park for free in Luz. Parking in front of the apartment is almost always available in summer, but there will be plenty of space in the surrounding streets.
Lagos has a train station (for travel towards Faro, Lisbon and Porto) and a bus station (for buses towards the west-side of the south coast), but do note that buses and trains only go a few times per day. You can easily get around without a car, and there are plenty of taxis and Uber's available, but if you really want to explore the area surrounding Lagos, a (rental) car will make your life a lot easier.

Pros
The apartment is spacious.
Good location only a short walk to beach and promenade.
Good pools especially if you have small children there is an enormous shallow pool.
Easy check in and out.
Did request cot and high chair and these were provided.
Cons
Cleaning was not upto scratch thick dust on dining chairs etc. I went out to buy cleaning supplies myself and cleaned, I didn’t complain as didn’t want to interrupt holiday with having people to come round etc.
The apartment is overall tired with handles loose on kitchen doors, old kitchen, tired bathrooms that require updating.
Old washing machine that is very noisy.
Stayed for a month and only given one lot of towels sheets so was expected to wash our own and change beds etc, for the price we paid would have expected at least change of towels and sheets.
Air con only in lounge and main bedroom so in August it was very hot.
Not enough seating for six inside if you want to watch TV at night, there is a sofa for three and one chair.
We still enjoyed our holiday but felt it was expensive for the standard of accommodation, if it was as renovated it would be a nice apartment.
5.0
