First: this apartment is beautiful with great views. Was it perfect? No- but the host made up for any issues with immediate responses and going the extra mile to fix what was wrong. We travel a lot and Claudia is the best host we have encountered. The apartment felt like home.

Beautiful, spacious apartment overlooking Funchal and cruise ships in the port. Hosts were gracious in providing eggs, milk and coffee for our first breakfast. Short walk into Funchal town. Private parking space for the rental car in a secure garage was ideal.

NOT AS ADVERTISED! When we arrived the owner/manager told us the apartment balconies were under construction for painting. We were suprised because she knew this 2 months before we arrived and never told us. We became shocked when men arrived on the balcony using scaffolding, tore down the railing and put up a black tarp. The construction had men on the balcony drilling and doing concrete work throughout our vacation. So the entire ocean view that was advertised was blocked with the balconies unusable and dangerous. Also the air conditioning was not working. It took 2 weeks for it to be fixed. Even once it was fixed, it was only in the front hall so the bedrooms were hot and humid making it very difficult to sleep. We were promised some reduction/refund but none has been given. We were trapped in this apartment for 22 days in high vacation season with no way of renting any alternative accommodation for our family. An extra note: Yes, we said there were 6 of us and forgot to tell her our son’s girlfriend was joining but we didn’t hide the extra person and told her we would pay if there was an extra person charge.

Don’t know where to begin. The apartment was as advertised, comfortable, clean. The host was super friendly and check in/check out was seamless. The view of the harbour from the deck was fantastic. As each day we watch the cruise ship sale in and the next day sale out.

What a view! This property is the best way to wake up, drink coffee and view the entire city with a large group. It was a perfect place for our entire family to enjoy the island together. Plenty of room, very clean and easy to walk to town. The location is stunning. We couldn't be happier. On a side note, Google Maps did not show the exact location so make sure to follow pictures and details on how to get in and be prepared to hike the short climb from downtown to the apartment- it's worth it. We highly reccommend this property!

Apartment is very spacious (much more than 2 of us needed, but it was really wonderful). The balconies (and views) are lovely, the place is very well equipped, beds very comfortable, and the location is fantastic! Great exercise walking up the hill after days spent hiking and exploring this beautiful island. Our host was extremely responsive and very helpful with answers to any questions we had. We highly recommend this apartment.

We were very impressed with this property. Large rooms, equipped kitchen, billiard table, 2 porches overlooking the pool and a view of the city. There is even a parking space in the garage! The property owner was easy to communicate with and we had no problems.
