Apartamento Isabel

Une vue imprenable dans un petit quartier authentique. Des équipements sommaires mais efficaces.

Le ménage est à revoir (poussière, crasse, vaisselle sale et cafards).

The location is a small area in Calheta called Loreto. It is very quaint and lovely. The view from the apartment was spectacular. The apartment was a good size and comfortable enough for a week long stay. We had plenty of towels to use and replace after a few days. We enjoyed the terrace and the grill the most.

The apartment was very dusty and the lighting was dim especially for the kitchen. The bathroom mirror lights did not turn on and there was no electrical outlet. The toilet was making leaking sounds. The stove is run on a gas tank which was smelling when switched on. The house was cold and there was humidity on the windows, there is no heating.

From the apartment is great ocean view. We spent every morning and evening on the terrace. Although the first days were very hot inside was still pleasant. It si good point to explore west part of the island and to the Calheta beach it takes only 8 minutes by car. Bedrooms are small but beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, we didn't miss anything. Garry was awaiting us and was nice and communicative. Parking was easy (private place), we recommend arriving to the house from the top. Shops are up in Loreto or down in Calheta. We definitely enjoyed our stay there.

The apartment is well located with terrace and great view to the bay. The host was very nice and eager to help. Everything what was needed was available in the apartment including iron, washing mashine, toaster, dishes, pots etc.

The smell of moud in the apartment was not really nice and generally the furnitures looks like they are quite old and sometimes in not good condition eg. sofa in the living room (the seat was collapsed in some places). Generally the place requires some investemnt. For simillar price we had much higher standard close to Funchal, so all in all this apartment was good, but I would expect a bit lower price for this standard.

Price. Quality of fittings in apartment, off street parking the views.

Odd smell came from the bathroom- couldn't work out if it was the drains or from outside.
