Great view and location!
We were so positively surprised! The place is great. Close to the city centre and easy to find free parking nearby :)) But the view... We spent so much time just looking at the sea from the top balcony 😍 Highly recommend:))!!

Convenient property & great host
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 neighborhood.
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.

Cannot really ask for anything more in a rental property. Great location that is very central to Funchal, amazing balcony with views, nice kitchen and bathroom. The owner is very easy to reach and more than willing to help out with anything. Great price as well.

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.

Seamless stay in Funchal with excellent view!
From start to finish, this rental went so smoothly. Adeline was very accommodating and flexible with check-in and check-out times. We arrived to the property at 10am and were met onsite. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and the place was very clean. No issues with the wifi. There was always parking available and it seemed like a more local part of town, which I appreciated, but still walkable to most attractions in Funchal. Plenty of towels and clean sheets available. Wonderful stay! Would definitely stay again, thank you Adeline!!!

SUPER
Wir waren sehr früh auf Madeira gelandet, aber die Wohnung erst ab 16 Uhr bezugsfertig. Wir nutzten die Zeit für die erste Orientierung. Joao meldete sich aber schon um 14 Uhr, so das wir da schon in die frisch geputzte Wohnung konnten. Die Wohnung war voll ausgestattet und alles funktionsfähig. Die Räume sind für 3 Personen perfekt mit Betten ausgestattet. Das Badezimmer hat alles was man braucht. Am letzten Abend war das Gas ausgegangen und somit hatten wir kein warmes Wasser. Joao kam aber innerhalb einer Stunde und das Problem war gelöst. Der Ausblick vom oberen Balkon über den Atlantik ist phänomenal, sehr entspannend. Die Lage der Wohnung ist gut. Viele kleine Bars sind zu Fuss zu erreichen und die Innenstadt ist ca. 15 Minuten entfernt. Mit der Boltapp kann man sich sicher und günstig von der Stadt heim fahren lassen. Das Einzige was wir bemängeln, ist der massive Autoverkehr an der Straße, aber da kann keiner was ändern. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und sehr gut zu erreichen. Auf englisch konnten wir uns gut austauschen Wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Aufenthalt auf Madeira, der sicher wieder in dieser Wohnung sein wird
