It sounds like you had a lovely stay with just a few "character quirks" from the property. Here is a rewrite that maintains an upbeat, appreciative tone while clearly communicating the issues to the host and future guests.---## **Review: Fantastic Location with Great Potential**We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The location is absolutely unbeatable—right in the heart of the **Old Town** with the **cable car** practically on our doorstep. Having a wide array of restaurants, convenience shops, and the bus station within easy walking distance made our logistics a breeze.### **The Highlights*** **The Balcony:** Our absolute favorite feature! It’s south-facing and provided the perfect sun-soaked spot for evening relaxation after a long day of hiking.* **Well-Equipped:** The kitchen had everything we needed to feel at home.* **Cleanliness:** Generally, the property was well-maintained and clean upon arrival.### **Areas for Improvement**While we had a great time, there were a few "nuances" that, if addressed, would make this a five-star experience:* **Kitchen Details:** We did encounter a few dirty glasses in the cupboards and a lingering scent in the kitchen area (though this was easily managed by keeping the windows open to enjoy the fresh air).* **Maintenance:** The bathtub was quite slow to drain, which made post-hike showers a bit of a wait.* **Amenities:** We found the supply of toilet necessities to be a bit limited for the duration of our stay

We loved the location of the apartment it was spacious for 4 people with a well equipped kitchen. We ate at the restaurant below and the food was lovely; although everywhere in Funchal has amazing restaurants with an abundance of fish on the menus. We were close to the cable cars and the sea, bus stops and taxis. There are 3 flights of stairs to reach your apartment so maybe not suitable for the less able as there isn’t a lift. We communicated a few times with Our Madeira but felt they lacked a personal touch, we didn’t really know who we were talking to. We asked for 2 sets of keys but didn’t receive the extra set. Although we did manage in the end..Unfortunately some building work was going on in the adjacent block so drilling and hammering went on for 2 days and woke us up each morning. We received some wine as an apology which was nice but peace and quiet and a restful stay is what you ideally need!! As 4 of us stayed 4 chairs on the balcony would have been nice we only had 3!! It looked at bit tired and not like the pictures which was a shame as we paid more for apartment 5 with the balcony!!We loved Madeira and would definitely visit the island again and the location of this apartment was great.

Location was great. Noise was awful. No air conditioning, No working fan, No working TV and No lift. Nice welcome accessories. Nice space. Easy access to everything. Parking available but it's 15 euros a day and down the street. Loved all the doors in Funchal.

Great location in the middle of the old town with plenty of restaurants within walking distance and a small supermarket 5 minutes walk away. The apartment was very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. It was 28 degrees in Funchal so bedroom fans would have been useful as the apartment can get very warm. Apart from this our stay was perfect
