Varandas do Funchal I by An Island Apart

Poolen och inredning, utrustning mm

Det fanns klädmalar på rummet, vi fick vänta länge i ösregn på att checka in och personen som checkade in oss var superstressad trots att vi kom på utsatt tid

Emplacement, piscine propre et sympa appartement très fonctionnel avec beaucoup d’élément comme des t’abstins de lave vaisselle

Un petit rafraîchissement est à prévoir et la propreté un peu juste

The location is excellent

The property is in a very poor condition. An electrical socket was hanging out of the wall when we arrived and we had no hot water for two days. Much of the paintwork on the walls and doors is very badly worn and chipped. Some of the bottom of the bathroom door is missing. The toilet cistern makes a very loud whistling noise when filling. The hair drier sounded terrible and smelt of burning. The floor in the lounge area has lifted dangerously in places. There appeared to be blood stains on the bedroom wall (? from swatted mosquitos)The bedroom is much too cramped for the bed, there being no proper side access. The cutlery in the kitchen is exceptionally uncomfortable to use. The shower temperature is unpredictable and very difficult to regulate. Potentially a nice apartment but needs investment and proper maintenance. There is no way that it currently justifies four stars.

After reading the reviews we were really positively surprised. Sure the apartment is not as brand new as it appears in the photos but with this price you can’t really expect that. The place was clean enough and the kitchen well equipped. Toaster was a bit broken but still we were able to use it. Garage was great and the location too. We were not disturbed by the construction work nearby. Bed was comfortable enough and the temperature was fine.

Toilet made an annoiying whistling sound after flushing. It was a little bit difficult to get hot water from the shower.

Only the location and the garage.

The property is very very used. The bed and the sofa were uncomfortable. The apartment was full of mosquitos not only in the air also bloody spots everywhere on the walls. The floor and the walls were also dirty. The walls are thin so you can enjoy the sounds of the neighbors. Next to the property a buliding is under construction that is why the place is noisy from 8 am until 6 pm.

Amazing location, the host was kind and helpful, comfortable check in and check out

Furniture a bit outdated, the flat needs a bit of renovation

The apartment has plenty of room for a couple. The bed was very comfortable. It has free parking spot, a pool, full equipped kitchen and lot of other facilities.

You need to go a bit uphill when you go back from Funchal but it is Madeira.
