The pictures of the property are completely accurate. The other positive reviews that you can read, I completely endorse. The apartment is a perfect one bedroom, with lots of extra space. The king bed is super comfortable, as are the bed linens and towels. Everything is ultramodern, chic, and comfortable. It's a 5 minute walk to the Forum shopping center, which has an excellent supermarket. It's a 30 minute walk to the city center. Be sure to cross the road and explore the parks and beaches on the coast. The check-in is slightly confusing until you actually do it. A concierge from An Island Apart meets you at the apartment building and introduces you personally to everything. The code they send lets you enter the building door with the guide, then the guide lets you into the apartment and gives you keys. An excellent experience. I would do it again. The location works great. About a 45 minute walk to the center of Funchal. Only a 10 minute walk to the great restaurant Mad Market. The only negative is you must be careful in the shower, as it is in a slippery bathtub, oddly high off the ground, so it's difficult to exit and step down to the floor safely. Just be ultra careful.
