    The only downside was that it was a bit noisy on a night due to the restaurant below and other restaurants nearby, but by 11pm everything was quiet.

    The apartment was in the perfect location for us, near to the sea but also central to restaurants etc. The apartment was very clean and spacious. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

    Property excellent. Location, facilities and staff all excellent. Bar immediately opposite played excessively loud music until the early hours, i e. 2am. No fault of the apartment, which we thoroughly enjoyed, but a major disadvantage.

    Excellent location for town, shops and restaurants.

    The bed was very hard - uncomfortably so. Friday and Saturday nights are very noisy in the street until 1.30am

    Loved the location. Easy access to the town and bus station.

    No elevator, so if you have large suitcases... it may be a challenge climbing those stairs. Exceptionally loud, annoying music coming from one of the establishments downstairs which carried on throughout the night until early hours of the morning. We could not sleep despite closing the windows and bedroom door. With a heavy heart, we left after one night. If you're a light sleeper or have children, this might not be the place for you.

    Great location. Apartment was clean and had everything needed for a stay. Friendly and helpful staff who were available any time I needed to get hold of them.

    Excellent location, the owners are completely correct. The description of the apartment states that it has 98 square meters, but there are no more than 60. The extra bed is uncomfortable and at night too noisy from the disco that is under the window. There is no terrace. Nicely equipped with everything you need. Recommendation

    The appartment was located above a night club and we had music very loud every night... So we could not open the doors to get fresh air, because of the noise, and we had no air conditionner, so it was so hot inside we could not sleep at night...

    The appartement was very well located (in main street!) And it was really well equiped !

    Noisy in the street except on Sunday and Monday

    Very nice and big apartment, kitchen with all you need! 🙂 Very good location Close to restaurants, supermarket and bakery 🧁 Close to téléphérique 🚠 to go to Monte (18 euros) Close to the cathedral and the ocean walk Taberna Ruel restaurant under the apartment makes you a 10% discount, it is a good restaurant quality. I recommend the lapa, the tuna fish 🐟, choice one for two so you have place for dessert after. Advice : go early! visit the East of the island for 34 euros all day, buy ticket in a kiosk like Madeira excursions by the oceans’walk. Very interesting excursion 9:15 am to 5 pm 🤩🤩🤩

    our apartment was on the 5th floor involving 46 steps and no lift. ok for the fit A lot of noise and music from clubs/ bars on 3 or 4 evenings per week up until 2.00 am. ok perhaps for the young or deaf.

    ideally situated near to cablecar and bus terminus with a multitude of restaurants in the street below and in the old part of town which was full of character. supermarkets and tourist shops close by

    The beds were very firm which we found a little uncomfortable. But all new and in great condition. On Friday and Saturday nights there is music coming up from the street until around 2am. We knew when we booked that it was above one of the busiest streets for socialising in Funchal. Just be aware that running both the oven and the hob will challenge the electricity system - we had a fuse trip. It was simple to remedy and we just had to be conservative with power use in the kitchen.

    The location is excellent in the middle of the Old Town. It is situated above a restaurant where we collect Ted our keys. We knew there would be 3 flights of stairs to the apartment but the view and the sea facing balcony which received almost constant sun were worth it. The apartment was immaculately clean and the kitchen very well equipped to cook the delicious Madeiran produce.

    Not sure if this would affect all apartments, but ours was directly opposite a club and only a floor up. The club closes at 1am Tues-Thurs and 2am Fridays and Saturdays, with really loud, vibrating music. There was also an extractor fan/air conditioning unit that must have vented right by our bedroom window. With everything, it was so loud that even with air plugs I struggled to sleep, and the bed was incredibly hard to the point that I hurt when I woke up. Loved the apartment but if you struggle with noise when sleeping, this one is up there!

    Apartment was spacious and well-equipped. The host was very welcoming and was happy for us to leave our luggage there on our final day until our flight. The location in Zona Velha was fantastic, great restaurants and bars all around and only 50m to the sea.

    You stay in a heart of Funchal - there is a lot of restaurants and bars on the street Rua de Santa Maria. Some bars are open till 5-6 am, especially on thursdays, fridays and saturdays and there are lot of people on the street. Earplugs are necesarry.

    The apartment number 3 was clean, large enough and well equipped. I appreciate iroin and washig mashine. The restaurant downstairs is really good and the food is delicious.

    Can be a bit noisy in the evening up to around midnight, but it is in the city centre after all!

    This is a great location right in the centre of the city, near the cable car and with a multi storey car park a short walk away. We would recommend the restaurant downstairs, but there are many others in the area too.

    We rented 2 apartments - No1 is on the 1 floor, bedroom facing SMaria street, and living room facing the bar, and No3 has its living room facing the bar on the smaller street. At daytime it’s just a door in the wall with an archaic sign - poncha sales or smith. BUT you can’t imagine how crowded is the small street on Thursday and Friday and Saturday night (people dance till 3AM. And when you are sleeping in Apartment No1, be ready to a guy who will come at 7:00 AM to install the tables back on Santa Maria street just behind your window. The hosts said it can be noisy sometimes near by but I will advise to rent the apartment No1 is you are dumb or you have an eccentric idea to pass a week in the immersive play of life in the middle of old city.

    Nice house, central place, friendly hosts.
