Thank you for your positive comment. I am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Madeira. You are absolutely right, Funchal is charming with lots to do and to visit and with lots to discover. As far as the mountain is concerned, it is always better to be warned, because if there is a low weather pressure, the climate can condition the mountain peaks. Usually throughout the year, even in winter, in the mountains, it can be quite hot and blue skies, however, this week the weather was very unstable in countries near Africa (Madeira, Canary Islands and Cape Verde), it was only good climate, in the north of Europe, strangely, is not normal ... today, as I write this comment, the climate is already back to normal :). Here in Madeira, during the winter, we usually have the warm winds coming from Morocco, that is, if the weather in Africa is good lol the weather lately goes crazy hehehehe if it is snowing in North Africa, instead of warm hot winds, we will have fresh winds. .. in the last month of January, we had temperatures on the order of 24C, the whole month. About my apartment, I am very happy that you and your wife have enjoyed your stay and in relation to the location you are absolutely right, more central is impossible. Regarding the balcony landscape of the apartment, you are absolutely right, it is wonderful ... and even the apartment being in the center of the city, it is very quiet and relaxing, the apartment is very well soundproofed, it seems that we are not in the center of town, close to everything. Regarding mattresses, I mean they are brand new and it is always hard to please every customer, but I will buy an Elastic Topper to offer additional comfort to future customers;). But it was the first time someone approached me about the beds, everyone always said they slept very well, but I will follow your advice and I will buy an elastic topper for extra comfort. Good idea. Thanks again, I hope to see you soon ...
