Yes
The apartment is pleasant, comfortable, has a spacious garage, a good outdoor area, and an elevator. All of our requests were met during our stay. Its location is a 15-minute walk from Funchal's center, which is covered on steep hills. The only drawback is the existence of a bar across from the apartment, which is a bit of a nuisance when sleeping.

Good place to stay if you are fit.
The flat was well equipped with appliances. The outside furniture could be more comfortable but was adequate. We had a lovely time. It would have helped to talk to a real person as we found it hard working out bus services and best places to go to. When we phoned for a replacement kitchen gadget this was responded to the next day. The street and local dogs are very noisy so the windows have be closed at night. We would go back but would choose somewhere without such a steep hill.
Alles hervorragend (kontaktlos) funktioniert, sauber, zentrale Lage (10 min.) zur Altstadt. Kleiner Laden gegenüber, top TG-Parkplatz (selten in den engen steilen Gassen von Funchal).

Séjour parfait , très agréable.
Très bonne situation, appartement parfait et très bien équipé.
Accès très facile a pied au centre de Funchal ( ça remonte raide pour le retour.
Accès facile aux voies rapides pour sortir de la ville en voiture.
Garage très pratique, mais il vaut mieux avoir une petite voiture, les rues sont étroites!
Appartement a recommander, vue magnifique sur la mer et la ville...

Gerne wieder
Geräumiges Apartment ganz in der Nähe des Zentrums von Funchal. Für den Aufstieg aus der Altstadt sollte man aber gut zu Fuß sein. Die Betreung durch AIA war ganz toll! Ich habe mich gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Nach vier Tagen gab es sogar eine Zwischenreinigung und neue Handtücher. Wunderbare Aussicht vom Balkon auf Funchal. In der Küche, die gut ausgestattet ist, gibt es sogar eine Spülmaschine. Angenehme, freundliche Nachbarschaft, nur die Hunde der Umgebung bellen abends leider manchmal viel und laut. Ich würde sofort nochmals Urlaub dort machen. 👍🏼

Super Lage mit tollem Blick über Funchal
Schönes gemütliches Apartment, etwas erhöht, mit phantastischem Blick von der Terrasse über die Stadt bis zum Meer und Hafen. Zu Fuß ca. 10 Minuten in das Zentrum. Die Ausstattung war gut, wir haben nichts vermisst. Eine 2. Heizung wurde uns sofort auf Anfrage gebracht. Maria von An Island Apart und Fabio waren sehr hilfsbereit, bei Nachfragen sofort zur Stelle und haben innerhalb kürzester Zeit reagiert. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

It's not the quiet apartment that is advertised
From neighbours that play loud music all night, the traffic that almost drives through the bedroom and the slamming front door next to the bedroom: this place is not the quiet apartment that is advertised. The mattress is rather thing and the iron springs make it uncomfortable. We would recommend to stay away from this apartment, for this price.

Très bel appartement avec terrasse vue sur mer
Appartement avec lave linge , lave vaisselle tout confort, terrasse vue sur mer avec possibilité de manger à l'extérieur seul inconvénient une côté de 900 mètres très raide pour se rendre du centre ville à l' appartement ce qui devrait être signalé dans l'annonce pour les personnes fragiles.

Skvěle nás přivítali.
I přes 2 h zpoždění letu na nás transfer na letišti čekal. Hned po příletu nám volala paní z ubytování. Měla trpělivost s naší špatnou angličtinou. Vše vysvětlila, ukázala. Apartmán byl nad očekávání vybaven dokonce mýdlem na ruce, jarem, gelem na praní, utěrkama na nádobí, olejem, solí, kávou. Do detailu promyšlený a vybavený. Ve sklepě zarezervované místo na parkování, za což jsme byli vděční, protože parkovat v těch úzkých a strmých uličkách by nás stalo mnoho úsilí. Toto ubytování bylo zatím nejlepší, co jsem zažila.

Excellent value for money and a great terrace with wonderful views
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Rua dos Arrifes, especially the large terrace with views of the ocean and the city, where we had breakfast and dinner. The apartment is fully equipped and has very stylish furniture. Free inside parking was also a big plus.

A good place to stay on a beautiful island
A nice place with a beautiful view from the terrace. Has enough space and all the required amenities. Easy walking access to the city center and shopping mall. Also there is a small shop down the street with enough stuff to make breakfast or buy some water/snacks.
As a minus, I would only mention that the apartment is on the first floor and bedroom windows face the street, so it might be a bit noisy in the evening, but nothing critical.

A lovely place to stay
A clean and spacious apartment with a sunny patio, which had great views. Very quiet apart from a few barking dogs. Close to the centre of Funchal: 10 minutes to walk there, but 20 minutes to walk back up the hill.

Magnifique Séjour à Madère
Très bon accueil, appartement conforme aux photos et description du site, très bon rapport qualité/prix.
L'emplacement est parfait (sur les hauteurs de la ville à 10mn à pied du centre historique et commerçant), vue imprenable du balcon.
Je recommande.
