I arrived a bit late into the Faro airport and after assembling my bike I had to head right to the guest house to be there before it got dark. Thankfully I had pre-programmed my gps and it led me through the winding streets, the one-ways and the roundabouts. It was quite easy actually, but with such windy streets, I am so glad for the gps.
When I arrived the desk clerk was very friendly and helpful offering to help carry my bags while I carried my bicycle. She gave me a room on the first floor to make it easier for me. The room was simple but very clean and a decent size. And the rate is very reasonable.
Breakfast was simple but more than sufficient (bread, meat, cheese, yogourt, coffee, tea, cake, croissants, fruit) and you can eat it in the kitchen or on the nice bright (though simple) terrace. The next day there was a different staff member who was also really pleasant so it was nice to chat over breakfast to hear about the region.
Since I was staying two days to prepare for my bicycle tour, I used the guest house as my base to explore the old city as well as the nearby winding streets. This place has a great location near to the marina, has loads of nearby restaurants and shops and though you can hear cars in the day, at night it was nice and quiet for sleeping.
