Positive: Nice apartments, well located and with nice views. They are in good conditions although beginning to be a little worn out from use in some parts. Apartments have a parking space, which is great in the island.
Negative: Sofa bed in the living room is not a good choice for adults, and it is not very comfortable.
Summary: very good location, comfortable for short stays

Positive:
Location was good to walk into the centre of Funchal
Negative:
The access code system didn't work very well which was challenging as not easy to park near the property. The access to the underground parking is very challenging because it is so steep and on a blind corner.

Positive:
The apartment was spacious, with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a powder room, large dinning / kitchen area and living room space. It was very clean and bright with wall to wall windows / doors and a small balcony. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay including toiletries, kitchen utensils and appliances. The beds were very comfortable and fans made it for a pleasant room temperature. The host was very responsive and arranged for us to be able to store luggage after our checkout. The parking space is tight but manageable. We were glad to have access to the parking on the property as opposed to having to park on the street. The apartment building is secure and we always felt safe. The property is very well maintained. Would highly recommend!
Negative:
Everything was great.
Summary: Amazing stay! Highly recommend!
