Clean, comfortable, well located

The studio apartment was really comfortable for the two of us. The kitchenette had the basics (including cooking oil so we made eggs in the mornings) and enjoyed our breakfasts out on the little patio. It's very central for walking in Funchal and we used a parking garage around the corner (Sao Francisco). Having a washing machine and free access to detergent was really helpful. Highly recommend!

Good Appartment!

Very nice apartment, clean and well located. Everything was perfect, even the towel and bed linen changes. However, the toilet wouldn't flush and the refrigerator didn't work. This was very annoying and wasn't fixed until the end!

Very nice location. Adequate for couple of nights stay. However there is no place to sit comfortably in the room apart from sitting on the bed or on uncomfortable 2 plastic dining chairs
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024

Happy guests

Thank you for staying! the apartment is in the city center and we had short distances for all planned activities. We felt safe and comfortable. It was a bit noisy but that depends on the neighbors of the other apartments and the house (when doors are slammed). All in all very nice stay

Total disappointment

Run down apartment - bathroom, walls, ceiling, kitchenware. No soundproofing nor insulation whatsoever. Very poor maintenance of the shower with black mold.

Nice Apartement in good location

The apartment is really beautiful and enough for 2 people. The location in downtown is absolutely great! Unfortunately there are no closets for clothes and there is no closet in the bathroom either. There are dishes in the kitchen, there are not enough coffee cups and there is not enough space for cooking. There are washing machines and dryers available for free use. Unfortunately, there is no drying rack to dry clothes that are not allowed in the dryer. The light in the stairwell is on, day and night! That was very annoying. Maybe the motion detector is broken? Short way to many restaurants...

Great place to stay on the island

Very clean apartment located in the heart of Funchal. Equipped with everything you may need. (Toaster, microwave oven, coffee machine, iron, etc.) and even a blender for whatever reason you may need it during your vocation. Washing machine is also available and it's free of charge. Apartment is located in 2 minute walking distance from hundreds of cafes, bars, restaurants and places of interest. Great service and easy communication with management. Special thanks goes to Carolina for warm welcome. She was super friendly and helpful despite our very late arrival. Downtown Funchal Apartments by TravelToMadeira is absolutely the best choice if you are looking for a place to stay on the island. Definitely recommend to everyone.
