Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Comfortable, very well-equipped apartment in a good location, close to restaurants, shops, and bus stops. Great communication with the owner, Jenny, who was super nice and very helpful.
It could get a bit loud in the evenings due to a nearby poncha bar, but I guess that’s the price you pay for such a central old-town location.
The accommodation was absolutely fantastic! Its central location was perfect, and the facilities were truly exceptional. We had everything we needed, including a fully equipped kitchen where we could comfortably cook. The host was incredibly helpful, and communication was easy and smooth throughout our stay. We highly recommend this place to everyone!
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and in Madeira. The property comfortably houses 4 adults, is well located and maintained. Jenny is a wonderful host who really cares about the well being of her visitors. She was helpful and in contact from the start of our booking until the end of our stay.
The bar opposite the property can get a bit noisy at night. Shutting the flat windows does eliminate most of this.
The owner was great The apartment was comfortable and clean Helped us with everything Even with taxi to the airport
Nothing
Had absolutely no everything we could Need
The fact that is above a extremely noisy bar
We liked everything. The apartment was beautifully renovated with quality materials. The beds were really comfortable. The washing machine was a huge plus after a day of hiking. Many restaurants a stone's throw away. Last but not least, Jenny is a fantastic host, very quick to respond, extremely helpful.
The noise from the bar next to the building. Not the host's fault but make sure you have your earplugs for when a group of people talk super loud at 2 am then start their scooters. ;) The location being central, parking is complicated and expensive.
Excelente localização. Apartamento muito confortável. Ótima opção para ficar na Madeira.

Jenny is an exceptional host. She met us at check-in and was very responsive during our 3-night stay at her apartment, which was very clean, bright and super cozy. Not only is Jenny very professional and focused on customer service, but she is genuinely a caring and kind individual.
Other guests have commented on this, as well...there is a bar next door to the apartment and it can be quite loud late at night. So that is a consideration if you are looking for a quiet location.
Fantastická lokalita - přímo v centru dění. Večer hlučné okolí, ale vynikající okna, která vše tlumila. Dobře vybavená kuchyně, chyběla jen myčka. Pohodlné postele. Vlastně vše super.
Složitější parkování. V blízkém okolí jsme nenašli nic cenově rozumného, tak jsme parkovali cca. 1km v Edificio 2000 za 4,50 EUR na den. Za tu procházku to stálo...
Minden tökéletes volt.
Extremely nice host. We received all the information in advance, Jenny was very helpful. Excellent location, everything is close. Parking garage 3 minutes away. The neighboring Poncha bar is busy but not disturbing.
Very central and everything provided
Wszystko Nam sie podobało. Mieszkanie i okolica super, tak jak sama Madera. Dziękujemy jeszcze raz Jenny ( zwłaszcza za pozwolenie na późniejsze wymeldowania). Polecamy wszystkimy ten apartament.
Nic
Bright , comfortable for four adults , close to front .. great location
Maybe some mattress toppers to made beds a little softer and more comfortable
Gospodarz bardzo miły i pomocny. Super kontakt. Mieszkanie w centrum co umożliwiają szybkie przemieszczanie sie po mieście. Mieszkanie bardzo czyste i nowoczesne. Kuchnia dobrze wyposażona. Na powitanie czekało ciasto, sok i wino. Polecam to mieszkanie.
Bardzo przytulny apartament w centrum miasta.Gosposyni bardzo miła i pomocna. Polecam bo warto
Very easy communication with the host. She arrived promptly to hand us the keys and give us a warm welcome to Madeira!
Jenny hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen und auch gezeigt, wo wir einkaufen und parken können. Sie hat uns eine Liste der Sehenswürdigkeiten von Madeira gegeben,
Am frühen Abend etwas laut, aber nicht störend
NIGDY nie spotkałam tak pomocnej, przyjaznej gospodyni! Jenny super przygotowała mieszkanie na nasz przyjazd (łącznie ze smakołykami oraz kolorowankami dla dzieci, a także z wydrukowanymi podpowiedziami w kilku językach, gdzie zjeść, zrobić zakupy etc.). Mieszkanie jest przestronne, bardzo czyste, z doskonale wyposażoną kuchnią (łącznie z blenderem, ekspresem na kapsułki, tosterem, opiekaczem). Jest nawet wyposażona apteczka, gaśnica, numery alarmowe, tabletki do prania i płyn do płukania.... No wszystko, co może być potrzebne w czasie dłuższego pobytu. Na dole jest bar, który tętni życiem w nocy i słychać go (tylko przy otwartych oknach), ale ja uwielbiam takie dźwięki miasta :) Czuliśmy się w mieszkaniu jak w domu i chętnie wrócimy do niego. Bardzo, bardzo dziękujemy!
Central location, very clear, comfortable, everything pretty new and fully functional. Jenny is an amazing host, with the perfect mix of being available, yet giving you space
The noise on the street. One of Funchal's best bar is just next door. They serve tastefull poncha's, but if you are sensitive to noise, think twice. This is why I gave it a 9, otherwise it was a clear 10
When we arrived in Madeira, Jenny met us at the accommodation and was such a warm and great welcome there. We also arrived to an assortment of treats, fruit and a big bottle of Brisa (passion fruit flavoured cool-drink made in Madeira). The location of the apartment in central Funchal made exploring the city incredibly easy. There really is so much to see, do and of course eat & drink while visiting Madeira
As many other reviewers have noted, the only small downside is the next door Poncha bar. It can get quite noisey especially in the evenings. Thankfully the windows and aircon in the apartment helped reduce the noise.
wonderful central location, close to everything and bars/restaurants. Really clean apartment, with everything you could need for a self-catering stay. Jenny was the most lovely and thoughtful host, and went out of her way to help us with restaurant recommendations and travel plans when asked. Nothing was too much trouble.
There was some noise from the bars nearby, but didn't bother us, but something to consider if you want complete silence.
Great location. Excellent renovation with lots of amenities. We spent 5 nights here with friends. The rooms were comfortable and the common space was perfect for relaxing and spending time together. The host had excellent communication, clearly explained the property, and all her recommendationswe spot on. We would be happy to visit again.
perfect location, perfect hostess, acurate intructions, great facilties, comfy beds, what else do you need?
nothing wrong with the apartment or hostess. just be sure you check in depth which apartment you book, there are two, one bigger, and one smaller... the booking app is not completely accurate...
Przyjazna i pomocna właścicielka. Udzieliła kilku pomocnych wskazówek. Dobra lokalizacja mieszkania, blisko dobrze ocenianych restauracji i barów.
Super lokalizacja w samym centrum Funchal, obok bardzo dobrej restauracji La Pasta i baru Rei da Poncha. Jeśli nie będziesz zbyt zmęczony zwiedzaniem to w zaledwie kilka minut można dotrzeć do uliczek z mnóstwem knajpek i restauracji albo wybrać się na spacer wzdłuż nabrzeża. Goście zwracali uwagę na hałasy z pobliskiego baru, ale nam to zupełnie nie przeszkadzało. Po zamknięciu okien jest znośnie, a wypite wieczorem wyśmienite portugalskie wino zdecydowanie pomaga w zaśnięciu. Lokal nie dysponuje parkingiem, więc trzeba skorzystać z jakiegoś miejsca dostępnego publicznie. Polecam parking Santa Luzia (doba to koszt 5 EUR). Właścicielka Jenny zadbała o wszystko, żebyśmy czuli się dobrze podczas pobytu. Drobne przekąski na powitanie, pomocne rady i stały kontakt sprawiły, że pobyt upłynął bez zmartwień i mogliśmy skupić się na odkrywaniu piękna Madery.
Everything was perfect, location, host, clean, easy to check in, have no words to describe everything, the best experience I have so far
Very central to everything in Funchal
Just a bit noise that you can hear from local bars but overall fantastic property
Spotless, modern, comfy beds and pillows (plentiful). Great showers 2 bathrooms. Very good kitchen. Host was super friendly and helpful. Water, fresh bread, fruit, juice left out. Lots of tea and coffee. Very generous host.
Nothing for us. Some people might find location a little noisy. It's just a bar where people gather to experience the local tipple . Closes 12.30 sharp!
The flat was spacious, bright and airy, well equipped and comfortable. It was centrally located, near lots of restaurants (the one immediately next door was very good) and just a few minutes walk to a car park. Jenny could not have been more welcoming or helpful.
The flat is adjacent to a very popular bar which remains open well after midnight. We made the mistake of leaving the windows open on the first night, not realising it would get noisier as the evening progressed. After that we kept the windows closed and slept really well.
Jenny is a great and attentive host. We were traveling with our 10 month old daughter and she went above and beyond to make it a comfortable stay for us. Location is very central and we enjoyed having everything nearby - including the great poncha downstairs 😁👍
The host are amazing! Very nice, generous and sympathetic couple! The apartment is in the very center of Funchal, close to the ocean and everything you might need. The apartment was tidy, clean and equipped with everything you might need. There is a huge space in the living room/kitchen, the apartment has a lot of light and the kitchen is loaded with supplies like oil, coffee, spices, etc. Our hosts gave us a very generous welcome pack with candies, food for breakfast, wine...
The apartment is very close to the famous poncha bar, and it can be a bit noisy, but we didn't mind much. After all, you are in the center of Funchal. Apart from that, everything was perfect, we had no complaints.
Super central, clean, well-equipped apartment with the kindest, friendliest hosts we’ve ever experienced
Lovely clean, comfortable apartment. All equipment and toiletries needed were provided. The host, Jenny, provided a very generous welcome pack and some treats on the day prior to our departure. All were delicious. The apartment was easy to find. Very central, with lots of lovely restaurants close by.
Nothing.
Spaceous apartment in the centre of the city. Close to restaurants deport and bars.
It’s not a quiet location
We had a fantastic stay at this accommodation! The apartment was spacious, spotless, and incredibly convenient. The location is perfect, with Rei da Poncha—the best Poncha spot we tried in Madeira—right next door. It does get lively due to its popularity, so light sleepers might want to bring earplugs, but honestly, that’s a minor detail given the quality of the Poncha! Our host was amazing, incredibly welcoming, and made our experience even better. Highly recommend staying here—it exceeded all our expectations!
The location is great, the room and facilities were very good and comfortable. The owner was realy nice and was available for any question or request. The rooms were very clean and comfy.
