Nice Apartment
Nice apartment…. Everything nice and clean and comfortable. Would have been nice to have Air conditioning as we did struggle to sleep at night… We are fairly fit 60 year olds and managed to walk up and down the very step road twice a day sometimes 3 times.

Away from the English weather
We chose this property having done a lot of searching, and we were not disappointed . It was very modern and well equipped. The view over Funchal and the harbour was marvellous, and it kept us glued for hours. We really enjoyed our 4 weeks, particularly because the weather was so good. We decided not to rent a car so it was quite an effort to walk up to the property. You need to be fit as the last 2 climbs are very steep, besides the roads and steps before you even get to them. Judite and Rui were very helpful when our friend visited us.

Crazy Location
The apartment itself was lovely…very clean and tastefully decorated, and it met almost all of my needs. Finding and getting to the apartment was insane. The only way to get to it is to drive up a narrow one way street/hill the WRONG way. And the hill is so steep it’s like being on a roller coaster. Once you make it up the hill, you drive along a very narrow alleyway to get to the apartment and garage. The rental car I was in sustained damage from scraping the cement wall opposite the garage. If you stay here and rent a car, do yourself a favor and get the smallest one you can. The apartment also has no air conditioning or window screens. It is close enough to the harbor/town that you can walk, but beware of those hills coming home! Judite was lovely and responsive. I only wish she had been more proactive in giving me directions to the apartment, knowing I was driving a rental from the airport.

wundervoller Ausblick
Das Appartement ist toll, nur muss man mögen das es immer steil bergauf oder bergab geht um dahin zu kommen. Die Bestückung der Küche lassen nichts zu wünschen übrig. Die Aussicht ist granios und man kann zu jeder Tageszeit einfach nur auf der Terasse sitzen und die Stadt und das Meer überblicken.

Großzügige Wohnung
Die Wohnung ist groß, man hat viel Platz. Schöne Terrasse und es war alles da was man braucht. Handtücher, Gewürze, Duschgel usw. Was uns gestört hat war der Geruch im Bad, der aus dem Abfluss oder so kommt und dass kein Mückenschutz an den Fenstern war.

Good stay with just a few little things to improve
We stayed in the flat for four days and really loved the incredible view from the living room. Absolutely perfect for exploring the city by night - the walk to the apartment from the inner city is just a few minutes. Driving there is a little adventure. The street might seem scary because it is very steep but just go for it! The flat was not quite as nice as it looks on the pictures and the kitchen is rather dark as it is in the back of the flat with only a little window. The parking garage is very nice as is the living room. For cleanliness it was alright even though we found some hair in the sink when we arrived and it would have been nice to have a new sponge in the kitchen (the one we had has definitely been used for a while). Over all a solid choice for staying in Funchal for a few days!

De nodige reparatie vereist
De ligging van het appartement is mooi. de aangegeven voorzieningen zijn er. wel vonden wij dat er veel kapot was. De deur van de koelkast was kapot. De lamp van de afzuig was kapot. De lamp in de keuken was Kapot. De wc bril was zat helemaal los. De lamp in de badkamer hing los uit het plafond. De deurkruk van de badkamer was kapot. En wat meer borden en glazen zou ook niet overbodig zijn. De kapotte meldingen vermeld ik met opzet omdat ik deze in een ander recensie ook al had gelezen. Hier is dus tot op heden niets mee gedaan.

Manque de confort
Sur les 8 nuits passées, nous avons dû avoir seulement 2 soirées avec de l' eau tiède, le reste les douches se sont faites à l'eau froide malgré l'intervention du propriétaire. Dommage, nous aurions aimé être soutenu, avoir au moins une compensation. J'espère qu'il n'en sera pas de même pour les prochains locataires.

Aangenaam verblijf op interessante locatie
We logeerden op loopafstand van de Sé, mooi verblijf met zonnig terras. Alles was aanwezig, goede bed, uitgeruste keuken, garage. Minpuntjes: reservoir stuk, wc-bril los, bidet loopt uit, klink badkamer stuk, diepvries sloot net al te best. Maar alles bij elkaar fijn appartement!

Schöner Blick über Funchal
Die Wohnung besticht mit ihrem Ausblick auf Funchal. Wer gut zu Fuß ist, oder sich beim Fahren auf steilen,engen Gassen wohl fühlt kann auf die ruhige Lage der Wohnung (Sackgasse) zählen. Leider heizt sich die Wohnung an warmen Tagen schnell auf und die mobile Klimanlage ist eher laut anstatt hilfreich. Die Wohnung hat insgesamt ein paar kleinere Mängel (z.b riecht das Bad etwas unangenehm, aus dem Bidé läuft Wasser auf den Boden, die Armatur in der Küche ist locker, die Ausstattung der Küche mäßig und der Kühlschrank hat keinen Griff). Trotzdem waren wir insgesamt zufrieden.
