Ideal in every way for us.

We had a very relaxing stay and our host was fantastic. It was our first visit to Madeira. We loved the balcony view - very picturesque with great views of the town and the sea. There was a fully stocked nespresso machine in the kitchen which was a nice touch and our host was very informative on where to eat and places to see. It was great to have beach towels provided. Overall a lovely stay.

Funchal stay

The apartment is well equiped, with good kitchen facilties and bedroom storage.The 2 outside balconies are well furnished and very useful - good place for drying wet things on first, great views from the top. We had diiner there a few times.The area is mostly very quiet, with the exception of the morning peak traffic and the barkiing dogs. The dogs barked at passersby and when we went onto the lower balcony. They also barked a few times at night, disturbing the whole neightbourhood. I'm a very light sleeper, my husband slept through most of it. There are dogs the world over.the location is very good, about 10 minutes walk down to town, very steep coming back up. there is a bus stop just yards from the front door. Parking is OK but avoid school pick up time around 5pm. Joao was very helpful and provided lots of information.A good place to stay.

A month in Madeira

The location of the property is excellent. Close to many points of interest and an exceptional view from the upper balcony. We stayed for 4 weeks, so the proximity to local cafes and small grocery stores was very helpful. The major shopping area and large grocery store was 15.minutes walk. The hill to the centre of town is steep, but we were prepared for that. Madeira is beautiful and Funchal is a fascinating town to explore. This property was a perfect base for that.

Our host João was very kind and helpful. The property was very good and was as described in the listing. It included all the facilities that we needed and was located a 10 minute walk away from Central Funchal. All in all it served as a lovely base to explore the rest of Madeira from.

Apartament with a great view

Nice apartament located on a hill (amazing views from the balcony but steep climb from the city center if walking), conveniently located (close to downtown Funchal and the highway). The host was very helpful, flexible and easy to reach. The only thing I would improve is the cleanliness. Don't get me wrong, in general the apartment was clean but certain places (like balcony or shower shelf) seem to be forgotten. If booking please bear in mind that there are barking dogs next door, but I didn't hear them at night.

Good location, it is up a hill, but thats all Madeira. We drove and found it easy. Nice local cafe a few houses up. If you exit the front and go straight around the building in front there is a small grocery store. Cafes safari. Have a steak sandwich.

Overall, we were very happy

Overall we loved the our stay. A quick walk to the harbor with an amazing view, and easy to drive to and park. It was exactly what we were looking for. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Make sure to read other reviews as there were a few little things that others have commented on that may have affected our experience had we not been prepared. With an extra roll of TP, some salt and pepper, and maybe another pillow and blanket we would stay here again.

Great space and location, but…

Good location within walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. Note for accessibility: it’s a very steep walk up and down the hill to the place (the host warned us about this, which was appreciated). However, the elevation provides a beautiful view of Funchal from the balcony! A few more things to note: There was no soap to do dishes or laundry (even though there is a laundry machine, so we were unable to use these amenities despite planning our packing around this). We let the host’s son, who we were communicating with, know and he apologized for forgetting, but didn’t offer to bring us any. One night, after having left dishes in the sink for the day while we were out, we came back to quite a few bugs around. Some harder to deal with than others. Since we couldn’t do the dishes, we left them (and all food) in the fridge to avoid attracting more bugs during our stay. There was a small dog (chihuahua) downstairs and a few big dogs next door that would bark at all hours and often in the middle of the night for extended periods of time. We had read this on previous reviews, but didn’t think it would bother us. We had our sleep impacted by this, even during the nights we could close the doors (cool enough). Take this into consideration if you are considering this spot. Very basic kitchen for cooking - no oil, condiments, etc. Overall, we enjoyed the location and the amenities, and our general rating reflects this.

Putting the fun in Funchal

We thoroughly loved our experience in Madeira. Our host, João was so helpful with his communication and recommendations prior to our arrival. He was very kind, and although we arrived early, we were able to drop off our bags and he personally showed us the most wonderful café: Cafe Fortaleza (don't miss it, Ricardo is amazing!) The location is very well located (800 m elevation from the waterfront), and so you definitely get lots of steps in! Take a Bolt directly to the door if you are carrying lots of things! Inside, the apartment was clean and exactly as the photos show with two lovely decks, a great view of the city and lots of space. Although it is stocked with towels + dishes, pack your own soap as that isn't included. João continued to provide helpful tips and was very responsive. We would highly recommend staying here.

Couldn't be better

This apartment is in an ideal location to enjoy all the splendor that Madeira has to offer. Just a few minutes walk from the center of Funchal. We hired a motorbike and parking outside was not a problem. Kitchen was very well equipped, so easy to prepare all the delicious fresh produce from the market and enjoy from the balcony overlooking the port.

Great spot

It was really handy for town, and the view from the rooftop terrace was amazing. The house itself was lovely. I think the kitchen could have been better equipped and the fridge not right in front of oven door, the bedding in the second room could do with an upgrade, but overall it was great value for money.

Good views

Functional for us. Few comments: Some of the wooden terrace chairs were broken. The bed sheets and pillowcases smelt as if they had been stored for a long time. Musty/damp. The shower needed very precise temperature selection to get warm water from. Quite a few yapping/barking dogs. But on the plus side lovely views from upstairs terrace especially at night. Communication with the owner was very good and to be fair we didn’t mention any of the above as we were only there for 2 nights so we didn’t think it was worth it. Location was fine for us. We downloaded the “Bolt” app (equivalent of Uber) and used them one night to get home which worked very well. We can recommend “Just Go Tours” for an amazing, 8hr, partly off road Landrover tour of the island. Madeira is a very beautiful, special island. Let’s hope it stays that way.
