A Balcony With A View
Perfectly located within easy walking of the old town and the market.
We stayed at this property in Funchal for 4 days. The pictures shown were accurate, and one of the first things we noticed was the incredible view from the fifth floor. The apartment was well-outfitted, with a small kitchen, and even had a washing machine which we did use. There was no AC (unless we missed it), and we did find a tiny salamander in the apartment on the first day. However these things did not bother us. The salamander kept to himself and was gone after the first day :) Overall a great value for an apartment in Funchal and we would return.
