José is a nice host, procedure to checkin and out is easy The appartment has a small terrasse to enjoy the sun The appartment is a bit shadowy but still nice to enjoy Funchal
Roomy and a good size apartment, perfect for the two of us for 7 weeks. Everything we needed, maybee except for an oven, but we made due. Jose' was very friendly, helpful and attentive. The only cloud was the Covid-19 that put a stop to our outings. Will stay here again if coming back.
The property is in a residential local neighborhood and has all the amenities to be able to enjoy a long term stay. It is a bit of a walk to the center but we enjoy walking so it was not an issue. The property is spacious and clean.
Gil met us at the apartment early in the morning with the keys & the remote for the garage door. He was very helpful & showed us around the apartment explaining where everything was. The apartment has everything that you need. It is clean & comfortable. There is a small sun terrace off the bedroom which at this time of year usually gets the sun later on in the afternoon. The kitchen has all the essentials​ including a washing machine which came in very useful. The apartment is only a 15 to 20 minute walk down to the nearest supermarket & shops. It​ is well placed for walking to the marina, old town or the tourist area on Estrada Monumental. On the day we were leaving our flight wasn't until the evening so Gil very kindly let us stay on until the afternoon. We enjoyed our stay & would gladly return.
We recently spent a week in this spacious, quiet apartment in Funchal. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and we had everything we needed for a lovely vacation. It is only about a ten-minute walk to the old part of Funchal, and far away from the bustling tourism of the hotel side of the city. The owner, Gil, was very helpful, offering suggestions on where to go and eat on the island. We recommend this apartment highly!
Large apartment, very friendly owner who lives nearby. The apartment is a 20 min walk downhill to Funchal and a quite steep hike back up - although there are buses which stop 3 minutes away. Very shady apartment - in January we had no sun whatsoever. There is an outside space which is light, but not sunny at this time of year. Nearest shops and restaurants 20 minutes walk away. Good internet connection, some british tv, news and bbc entertainment channel.
This large, well maintained property is located in a residential area about 15-20 mins uphill walk from the marina. The bus station and large shopping mall- La Vie, not Dolce Vita- are within 10 mins walk. The friendly owner, Gil, pointed out a few places of interest and told us the nearest places to eat were in the mall which didn't sound too promising at first but there's a lovely Italian restaurant tucked away in the corner where we ate twice and would recommend. The downside is that there are two very large trees in front of the apartment which cut out all the light and make it a bit cold and gloomy (which is why we didn't give 5 stars) Would suggest putting table and chairs and a couple of pot plants on the patio outside the bedroom as this gets the sun. Our favourite day out was to Ponta de Sao Lourenco, the most easterly point- wild and rugged with fantastic views- you need sturdy footwear and water. There's plenty to do in and around Funchal, museums, gardens, lots of walking and there are dozens of restaurants in the old town and a lovely atmosphere.
In a quiet residential neighborhood next to the charming Capela Sao Joao,with a view of the ocean about a mile away. Nearest grocery and taxi stand is a half mile away, and several restaurants within a 15 minute walk. Bus stop is a few hundred feet.In 28 days we saw no rain! Gil,the owner, lives in the building and is very helpful. Everything you need is provided
We really enjoyed our stay on this beautiful island. The apartment was very comfortable, clean and quiet. We especially liked sitting out on the balcony in the evenings, under the shade of the big tree, watching the children playing in the square. Gil (the owner) could not have been more helpful and it was useful to be able to park our hired car in the garage under the apartment.
Apartment was really nice, big, clean, well-equipped with terraces and lovely and comfortable furniture. It is a walking distance away from the city centre and marine, where everything is happening. People are kind, i was happy with the apartment so i really recommend this place.
