    Super friendly host. The flat was equipped with a first grocery load, so the holiday could start immediately without worrying about going shopping. Salomon spent a long time with us recommending the best spots, treasures and best food places. This was much appreciated.

    Salomão, the host, was a real gem -so welcoming and helpful. Made a real effort to help us find our bearings- gave maps and recommendations. He provided so many extras, even things like clingfilm and Tupperware. There were little treats, things we might not have thought to try otherwise. The house was spotless and in a good location. We were sad to hand back the keys

    Nothing absolutely comes to mind. I have been traveling for a long time all over Europe, the USA and Southeast Asia and this is the best place I have stayed ever.

    Great host, friendly, always available if necessary. Gave us plenty of information about the surrounding area , the island its places to visit, its attractions and restaurants. The place is a short walk from downtown and yet very quiet. There's a bus stop across the street if you want to go to Monte and its gardens and a park with a cafe is just down the street. There is a nice supermarket around the corner and a convenient coffee shop/bakery.

    Very friendly host who has a lot good recommendations & is always available if you have any questions. The views from the balcony and living room are amazing : Enjoy breakfast or a beer while looking at the ocean. Old town is just a 15minute walk, little supermarket 2minutes walk, big supermarket 2 minutes by car. Private parking in front of the house in a separated area. 100% recommendation, Thank you :)

    We liked everything!

    Ideal location for our needs. We had two young children in our group as well as three adults - lovely park nearby and a good local supermarket. Salomão, the host, provided useful equipment for the children - cot, buggy, car seats, high chairs, plate, bowl, cutlery and toys, which were much appreciated. We were able to walk into town (the walk back with the buggy was a great workout!) and there was a bus stop nearby, if needed. The apartment had everything we needed, was comfortable and had great views over Funchal and the sea. Salomão also provided lots of tasty local food and provisions, which everyone enjoyed.

    - I can't think of anything, honestly.

    Salomao, the host was super nice. He picked us up in the center of Funchal and took us to the apartment. He provided a lot of information on trips and restaurants, he was easy to reach when we had questions, and he provided local fruits and drinks as a welcome plate. The apartment is at a good location, close to a supermarket and a bakery. We rented a car and we could use the parking lot of the apartment-building (for free) which was very comfortable. The apartment is close to the main roads if one wants to leave Funchal for an excursion. The living room has a great view of the city and the ocean, and so does the small balcony. The apartment, the kitchen is well equipped, the rooms, bathroom are comfortable. Salomao provides many towels, even beachtowels, and he also provided walking poles for our levada trips. We had a really great time here, our sons (18, 13 yo) also loved it, it was a cosy base for our first visit to this beautiful island.

    In the neighbourhood are many barking dogs, you need earplugs at night. Like most beds in Portugal the mattresses are very hard. In the near future the host will provide mattress toppers. The elevator was broken, so you had to walk to the 4th floor. Replacement parts are on their way.

    Super nice host who provided excelent (taxi)service and tourist information. There are also many brochures and books about Madeira available. The apartment and kitchen were very clean, and all the bedding, bathtowels, plaid, carpets and pillowcovers were freshly washed. The neighbours are very quiet, didn't hear them during my 12 nights stay. A small supermarket, bakery and the busstop to Monte/Funchal Centre are nearby.

    The host and hostess could not have been more accommodating. They provided maps marked up with places of interest, restaurants, food and beverage suggestions. They provided champagne for New Years, wine, Madeira wine, liquor, water, fruit, bread, home made jam, etc. Beautiful views of the ocean and city from the living room and balcony

    My stay at Salomãos place was exceptional. He is probably the best apartment host I've ever experienced in all of my years of traveling, incredible hospitality. Picked me up from the port, provided fresh fruit, specialties of Madeira, water, wine and a detailed run-through of the map of things to see. You can tell how much he loves his island and wants tourists to have the best time. The view from the apartment is amazing and sitting on the little balcony in the morning eating breakfast makes for the perfect start to every day. 20 mins walk to the center, quiet neighbors, bakery and small supermarket around the corner. I would and will stay here again! WiFi is great for working remotely.

    It felt like home. All the necessary appliance as you are at home. The owners left us vinho Madeira, ginginha, bolo do caco, fruits and few other delicious local products on our arrival. We were working 3 (2 on calls) remotely and the internet connection was super stable. 15min by car from airport and 5min from downtown. Mini Market near by and cheap restaurants for quick daily meals near by. I'll comeback for another stay as 1 week was not enough to cover all the tips given by the owners
