    We were warmly welcomed. Very nice appartement: bright, spacious, clean, well equipped. Perfect location: many attractions within a short walk, close to Teleferico and bus stations. I will definitely try to book this place next time I stay and I will recommend it to my friends

    The bed could be a little bigger.

    The location of the apartment is truly exceptional. It is located a short distance from the center and the cable car to Monte. Despite this, it is located in a quiet area.

    Bed is slightly narrower for two adults or maybe we are just used to having a wider bed. Soccer can be played until 23h, but we knew that there is going to be active sports from apartment location and description of other guests. There could be also more utensils in the kitchen, since we are used to cook at home (at least better pan + more cups).

    Central location, close to public transportation, shops, Old Town. Nice, bright and large apartment with balcony. Underground garage, safe and quiet building.

    Nothing really, except some folk might not always appreciate the football training ground nearby

    The apartment is in a great location just a few minutes from the Old Town. It is very clean and fairly well equipped. The balcony faces south with views of the sea.

    Some renovation of the floor and in the bathroom may be needed in the future.

    Location is great near the old town and Anadia Shopping Center. Also a short walk to sea side. Balcony to sun and elevator to apartment. Everything you could need for cooking. Friendly host Duarte 😊

    Overall a great stay spoiled by a DJ and his excessive music for the weekend football tournament.

    • Stayed 14 nights

    We had read the reviews regarding the football training every night and indeed we enjoyed watching the kids play. However, we did not enjoy being woken at 8.15am on Saturday AND Sunday by a DJ who played excessively loud techno music throughout the weekend for the duration of the football tournament. This was accompanied by constant horn blowing by the fans for around 12 hours each day. Our hearts sank every time there was a goal as the DJ celebratory music intensified. We stayed for a fortnight and this only occurred on one of the weekends. Furthermore, communication with the hosts could have been a lot better. We had to wait for a considerable time for responses to our questions. We appreciated being allowed to leave our luggage in the apartment beyond our check out time due to a late flight however this was only confirmed 10 minutes before we were due to check out. We had asked the day before our departure if this was possible.

    We thought the apartment was clean, well equipped and had a great central location for the old town. Duarte was very welcoming and we appreciated the complimentary wine and cake.

    Very pleasant stay in Madeira, not too much noise other than the soccer

    • Stayed 7 nights

    Couple of things need fixing, slight leak from shower, a light switch, loose drawer front in TV unit. More hooks to hang coats/t-towels would be good, as would more cutlery, more t-towels, more towels. Some people would find the frequent soccer matches played at the pitch behind apartment disturbing, but we didn't mind, the cheering was never boisterous.

    Very nice apartment with good facilities near to old town and cable cars, only one floor up and accessible by lift. Duarte was there to greet us and talked to our taxi driver when he couldn't find the place. Separate utility room with washing machine and drying frame. Plenty of literature about Madeira. Nice balcony
