About this property

Borboleta apartment - sleeps up to 4

This 1 bed and 1 bath apartment is on the top floor of a lovely old manor house (please note there is no lift). It is very well furnished and equipped with everything we hope you would wish for including cooker, microwave, fridge with small freezer compartment, washing machine, Wi-Fi and barbecue.

The spacious bedroom has a double bed (which cannot be separated to make twin beds) and the bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, basin and WC.  In addition to the double bed, there is a single bunk bed above the cupboard in the bedroom (this is accessed via a wooden ladder) which is ideal for an older child.

The sofa can also be made as a double bed enabling the property to sleep up to 4 (please note it is not possible to use both the sofa-bed and the bunk bed).

You will be sent a form a few days after booking which will enable you to indicate your bed requirements.

The air conditioning unit provides heat for the chillier winter evenings.

The apartment benefits from the sun nearly all day as there is a large terrace to the front (accessed via the bedroom) offering street views and a smaller terrace to the rear with rooftop views.

The main centre of the town is just a few minutes walk away where you will find numerous shops, cafes, restaurants and bars and the beach/marina is also within walking distance.  Due to the fantastic central location of the apartment some noise is to be expected as people enjoy the vibrant holiday atmosphere that Lagos has to offer.

Unfortunately there is no dedicated parking for the apartment however there is free parking available at nearby car parks.

The apartment was in a great central location, walking distance to so many great restaurants, bars and shops. There was lots of space in the apartment and having the two balconies was great. Everything was clean and we had all that we needed for our stay.

The apartment was lovely. It was stocked with the little things you don't really want to have to buy such as, oil, salt & pepper, some herbs etc. We loved having the two terraces. Overall great apartment.

Very nice appartment with individual details, clean and with full equipment, recommended for three people, the forth needs to sleep in the living room. Located in the middle of the old town near three bars/ night clubs, so at night there is some noise outside. We enjoyed our stay very much, could reach the beaches and activities by walking! Parking was about 10min away for free and no problem to geht free space.

The forty steps up were a challenge with heavy luggage but after a couple of days you adapted and barely heavy puffed at all. The central location worked out well. Bed was comfy and bathroom was well appointed. Two balconies meant you always had a choice of sun or shade. A convenience store just across the road and a full fledged supermarket within walking distance. I don’t know what it'd be like in high season but fringe season, it worked well.

Great apartment.

Excellent apartment but it is in a noisy street. At night time lots of young people gather at bars on the street with constant noise till 3am. It's unfortunate that bars on the street have attracted such a young clientele.

Great Location in Lagos

Close to everything you will want to walk about and see in Lagos. This apartment has both a front and back terrace making it bright and open feeling. Well equipped kitchen. A full tub in the bathroom. It is up two long flights of stairs, so not so good if that is an issue for you. Washing machine was an asset once we found it, lol. Located outside in a cupboard on the back terrace. Felt very safe in Lagos.

Schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage in der Altstadt von Lagos. Ausstattung sehr gut, allerdings fehlt bei den zwei Terrassen ein Sonnenschutz und bei einer ein Außenlicht für abends.Ansonsten alles bestens. Insbesondere die Kommunikation mit der Agentur war hervorragend. Vielen Dank dafür!

Bel appartement très bine situé à Lagos

Un appartement très propre lumineux et bien climatisé.Nous avons apprécié toute les attentions des hôtes et le fait que l'appartement était bien équipé. La terrasse à l'avant est particulièrement intéressante en fin de journée. Elle est vaste nous permettant de souper en fin de journée.

Im Herzen Lagos

Die Wohnung liegt ideal, die Strände sind gut zu Fuss erreichbar, so auch die Altstadt mit den Restaurants. Die Wohnung hat Charme und lässt sich gut lüften und ist angenehm, auch wenn sie unter dem Dach liegt. Die Umgebung ist laut, aber das wussten wir vorher.
