One of the best locations in Funchal
This was our fourth visit to Madeira and we were very happy to have been able to stay in this apartment. The apartment is nice and warm due to the large windows that surround the front and side. If it gets too warm the large balcony doors can be opened to let a nice breeze through.
We really appreciated the view over the marina and enjoyed watching the activity in the harbour as well as watching the cruise ships coming and going. We also were able to watch the Carnival Parade from our balcony.
We were a bit concerned that there might be street noise, but were pleasantly surprised that once the doors were closed the apartment was very quiet. The location is also close to the various bus stops which we used in our hiking of the various levadas and trails.
The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen that we used to cook most of our meals. The shopping mall and the grocery store are a short 5 minute walk away and we bought groceries as needed. A larger coffee pot would have been nice to have.
Miguel was at the apartment when we arrived and gave instructions on items in the apartment and a list of places to see and things to do, including his recommendations on local restaurants.
We look forward to our return next winter and have already booked with Miguel.
Thanks for everything Miguel!
