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.

The potential to be wonderful but investment needed.
The apartment has a fantastic location in central Funchal with wonderful views over Santa Catarina park and the port. We loved watching the cruise ships sailing in and out. The apartment is quite spacious, modern and reasonably well equipped, although a dishwasher would be an improvement. With some simple improvements and investment we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Sadly our experience was less than perfect as the exterior of the building is in quite a poor state of repair, with a partly crumbling facade. Hopefully there are plans to attend to this. The sofa covers are stained and appear dirty as is the fabric headboard in the main bedroom. The outdoor planters (on the wonderful balcony) are full of dead plants which sets a poor tone. Why not use artificial foliage or at least remove the current sorry display?
Overall the apartment has the potential to be wonderful. The location and views are superb and we’d happily stay again if these matters are attended to.

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.

Great Stay!
Once we got checked in, which was a bit chaotic, the stay was exactly what we hoped for. The unit was clean and looks like the photos. The location is superb. Parking is close by. We only received 1 key card which was a problem (with 4 adults going different directions) which never was resolved. This is my only complaint. Apparently, the renters before us did not return the 2nd card and an additional card was not available to us. The beds were comfortable and clean. Communication with the property manager was easy, with quick replies. I would rent from them again.

Deferred maintenance
The location could not be better in the old town of Funchal, and the unit has fabulous views. Unfortunately only one keycard was available and you cannot enter the gated grounds or use the elevator to reach the 5th (American 6th) floor without a keycard. Staying together for 3 weeks was complicated at times, and given that the unit is advertised for 4 people it would truly be difficult. There were many plumbing issues including a shower drain that was not properly installed. It is sad that we cannot provide a glowing review for this beautiful apartment that needs attention.

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

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.
