Hello,
I am new here so I hope you'll bear with me. I am not, however, new to Albufeira, where I've been spending most winters since 1970.
The apartment I normally rented is no longer available and I need a new place to stay. I do not want to use online ads or agencies. They are, I find, unnecessary and expensive. Word-of-mouth is my way to go.
I plan to be in Albufeira from 31 December until about 27 March. If anyone knows of anyone who has an apartment for rent which is close to Old Town, Fisherman's Beach or within walking distance from there I would appreciate the information. Previously I stayed on R. Samora Barros, but it's a bit of a climb for me, now.
I would like a T1 or T2 with a view of the water, a washing machine and which includes all utilities. In my previous apartment, a T3, I had 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies with water view, all amenities and utilities and a clothes line! And I paid under $500 UDS per month. So you get the idea.
I very much liked the recommendation, here, for Café Amorim. It is my favorite.
Thanks so much.
Cheers.
