Traumhafte Lage
Der Aufenthalt war einfach nur traumhaft.Die Wohnung ist super gelegen und sehr schön aufgeteilt.Leider gibt es ein paar Abzüge hinsichtlich Sauberkeit.Im großen Schlafzimmer war der Kleiderschrank nicht benutzbar,da die Wand hier schimmelt und es sehr gemüffelt hat.Im Zimmer war davon aber nichts zu riechen.Haben dann alle Klamotten in das andere Schlafzimmer geräumt.Leider war auch das Badezimmer im Hauptschlafzimmer etwas mangelhaft,da man beim duschen,aufgrund des zu kleinen Abflusses, das Bad flutet. Dies hat man uns aber im Vorfeld gesagt.Im Großen und Ganzen eine tolle Wohnung in einmaliger Lage.Wir würden jederzeit wieder dorthin.

Very nice Apartment
The apartment is very nice and was clean. Chek-In was a bit complicated because the keys were not in the Keybox and they were still cleaning the aprtment. But when Hugo arrived with the keys he showed us everything. Is also perfect when you have a car, because you can park in the shopping centre. Overall we liked this apartment very much.

Amazing apartment
We had a fantastic stay at The Boats Apartments. The location was excellent. We loved the large balcony with views of the sea and mountains. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We had a slight problem gaining access to the property, but the representative from An Island Apart, who manage the property, was with us 2 minutes after making a call for help. Overall we were extremely impressed and would love to stay again in the future.

Lovely positioned apartment in Madiera
Amazing apartment with views over the cruise ship terminal, two bedrooms, two bathrooms with a wrap around terrace two minutes away from the shops, bars and restaurants, only downside was there was no swimming pool and in a resort with no beaches we did miss one Management team of Francesco and Beatrice were so helpful, we got to the apartment four hours early and was hoping for some where to leave our luggage but when we called Beatrice she came down and gave us the keys so we could have the apartment early, we hired a car and the apartment has a dedicated parking space in an underground garage around two hundred metres away but the entry card would not work he then came back to the car park to rectify really so helpful would definitely return to the island Beautiful promenade to walk with lots of greenery to stop and rest with a beautiful park opposite the apartment Byron Wales

Perfect location with an amazing view!
This apartment was perfect for our stay. We loved beginning and ending each day on the wrap-around balcony watching the cruises ships come and go. The location was ideal. It is close to a supermarket and shopping center. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, museums, etc.

Definitely not a Super Host
We were incredibly disappointed in our stay and ended up leaving our vacation early. Upon arrival at the apartment, we noted that there was only 1 bathroom not 2 bathrooms as listed. When we took our first shower, the shower drain was not working and the bathroom and nearby bedroom flooded. We contacted the property manager to alert them of the issue and used the few towels they provided to mop up as much water as possible. We did not hear any response for 5 hours and when we got a reply there were no specifics on when the situation would be resolved. Unfortunately, a cleaning crew did not show up until 12 hours later. We asked the property manager to re-arrange our airport transportation, but they were a no-show on the morning of our departure. There was ongoing daily construction on the floor above us. For the one available bathroom, there was no shade on a large window next to the shower exposing the user to a busy street below.
