Downtown Funchal Apartments 2C 25 Fontes by An Island Apart

Do not book this accommodation. It was very nice and clean looking however with a closer look there is a leak in the ceiling with paint bubbles and mould in the corner of the bedroom. It also had a very musky smell and mould on the lamp shades. The owner was difficult to contact and did try to arrange another place to stay but only gave an address (no pictures or information about where I would be, apartment house etc). They then gave us 5 minutes to decide if I wanted to stay there. I chose not to as I didn’t know the details and felt unsafe staying there without more information. Expedia were very helpful and I received a full refund which I was very pleased with. The owner tried to charge me a cancellation fee but Expedia were helpful in getting a full refund.

Het was een prettig verblijf en het was fijn dat we gebruik konden maken van de keuken en de wasruimte. Een verbeterpunt zou zijn om extra handdoeken ter beschikking te stellen. Wij verbleven er 10 dagen en kregen 2 handdoeken per persoon. Wij kregen uiteindelijk bij de 5e dag pas weer schone handdoeken. Wij zijn nogal avontuurlijk en hebben veel hikes gemaakt en daar wordt je niet schoner van en dus maak je bijna dagelijks gebruik van de douche en handdoeken. Deze waren daarom al vrij snel vies.

Great location and better than the pictures show. Highly recommended to stay here.
