Very comfortable apartment in a great location
Pros: We loved this apartment which exceeded our expectations from the photographs. Very comfortable, spacious and Cristina was super helpful and communicative. We had everything we needed for our 4 nights in Funchal. The location was perfect for us on the outer edge of the old town with a locals feel. The bar at the end of the road is great with a relaxed feel and amazing view. It was noisy on the Friday night but nothing that bothered us. Also lots of great restaurants nearby without venturing into central Funchal if you don't want to. You can swim in the sea about 1 minute away either at Complexo Balnear da Barreirinha which has a fee or next to the fort you can get in for free beside a great beach bar. Definitely will be back to Funchal and would love to stay in the apartment again

Excellent location
Pros: Great location, very easy walk to the restaurants and bars in the old town. There was also a lido at the bottom of the street where we could go for a swim. The apartment had everything we needed.
Cons: Nothing.

I would stay there again
Pros: Nearly perfect. Cristina, the host, waited for us to give us the keys and show us around which was very nice and helpful. The location of this apartment is perfect, you are right in the centre of Funchal, next to the coast, walking distance to cafes, restaurants, shops etc - it can't be better. The big advantage is the garage and parking your car in it, once you get used to it, it is easy, as the space is in fact very big. The apartment has very well equipped kitchen, crockery, cutlery, espresso machine (and some capsules for a few days, which was nice) - everything you need and a washing machine (old but working).
Cons: Not too many cons, and IMO, not very big. The drive down from the motorway is on some super steep and narrow streets - I guess after you have done it once, it is not that scary. When driving into the garage, drive on the extreme right - the ramp is steeper on the left hand side and I am positve I scratched the underside of the car when I was driving down the first time, but later it was fine. There is a bar at the end of the street (and it is cool) but a bit noisy sometimes. The design of the apartment is not very exciting, but it is functional. It would be nice to have more toilet paper and towels (we stayed there a week). Better pillows would perhaps be nice.
