La próxima vez me voy a un hotel. Poco profesionales
No gustó · A las 16h (hora de entrada al apartamento no estaban las llaves) Tuve que llamar yo... Me las trajeron tarde... Días después se estropeó la cerradura del portal, la repararon y no nos avisaron en dónde nos dejaban la llave nueva. Llamé 2 veces porque no teníamos llave y no podíamos entrar y a día de hoy sigo esperando a que me devuelvan la llamada. Si no baja una vecina del edificio a abrirnos dormiríamos en la calle... Faltaba el tendal y pinzas... Cosas básicas como un estropajo y jabón para para limpiar las copas... ( Tuve que llamar para que los trajeran) Los acabados del piso no son como las fotos. Las paredes están forradas de madera de aglomerado pintadas de blanco como si fuera ladrillo y cemento (pero en realidad son tableros) Esto hace que la temperatura en verano sea altísima en un apartamento sin aire acondicionado, no bajamos de los 30 grados ni de día ni de noche. Las luces de la zona de la TV no funcionaban. En el salón no había contras ni persianas... ( Más calor todavía por esto)... etc .. El apartamento está en un edificio muy viejo, en una calle con mucha pendiente, en un segundo piso sin ascensor... Esto tampoco ayuda... Pregunte si podría entrar al apartamento antes de las 16h, o simplemente dejar las maletas dentro, me dijeron que no era posible porque estarían limpiando el apartamento, (Algo que resultó ser falso porque yo a las 14:30h ya estaba en la puerta esperando por la entrega de mi coche de alquiler)... Pregunté si podría dejar las maletas en la oficina de an Island... La respuesta fue: "Sobre el equipaje, haremos todo lo posible para ayudarlo. No se preocupe :)" Sin embargo, al final la respuesta fue:"nuestro socio (donde los huéspedes pueden guardar sus maletas) es cerrado mañana, por lo que lamentablemente no podemos hacer nada para ayudarlo. Las paredes del cuarto de baño tenían manchas de moho por la humedad debido a la mínima ventilación ( sólo tenía un pequeño extractor de aire...) La limpieza regular...

Hello David, As a procedure, we ask our guests to call once they're in their way to the property. You had to call because that was the procedure. As for the lock, our colleagues had warn you about it. If the guests don't follow the instructions, you can't be expecting that everything goes smoothly. This property is advertised as it is, so, what you can see in the pictures, is what is in the property and for the utilities, this is a self catering property, we took them just to please you. Again, the property is advertised without AC, so, we can't accept this kind of complainings about things that isn't advertised. Early check-in is with request and upon availability, if you were there at 2:30 p.m., it meant that our maintenance team didn't do what they were suppose to do, because we don't deny our guests an early check-in if has nothing to be made. Said this, all of the problems that you've mention on your review (and not to us during all your stay), this review is said with bad intentions. Best regards

Excellent
Our stay was wonderful in every aspect. One thing to note is that Calçada do Pico is very steep, which is problematic for elderly people, but still manageable.

Miły apartament ale obsługa beznadziejna
Obsługa niekompetentna i niesłowna. W momencie rezerwacji, w korespondencji sygnalizowałem konieczność pozostawienia bagażu, od czego uzależniłem pobyt. Odpowiedź brzmiała: "About the luggage, we will try our best to help you. No worries :)" Jednak przed zakończeniem pobytu pobytu nie było już tak różowo: "our partner (where the guests can store their bags) is closed tomorrow so unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help you :( " Stąd konieczność poniesienia dodatkowych, nieoczekiwanych kosztów (przedłużenie rezderwacji samochodu i opłaty z tym związane). Dodatkowo brak ręczników dla dwóch z czterech osób - miała zostać uzupełniony nazajutrz rano po zameldowaniu, a został uzupełniony dopiero wieczorem.

Moyen
Bien placer. Joli appartrement Grosse poubelle pleine devant l'appartement problème d'eau chaude Pas de location de voiture comme dit sur le descriptif. Petit déjeuner très bon. Navette ponctuelle mais un chauffeur qui se prend pour un pilote de formule 1

Boa experiência
Apartamento bem localizado, limpo e ordenado. Excelente vista para a cidade do Funchal quer de um lado do apartamento como do outro. Completo ao nível de utensílios de cozinha e eletrodomésticos. Terraço espaçoso e agradável. Internet e tv top. Nada a dizer sem duvida que voltava a alugar o mesmo apartamento se um dia voltar ao Funchal.

Smart and clean apartment in Funchal town
I took a winter let of about 6 weeks, and as a returning customer was given a competitive rental rate which was great value. The apartment is spacious with excellent facilities: good kitchen hob, oven etc. For a long stay, often cooking in, this was essential. The bathroom is good with an effective shower. Large screen TV, lots of channels, and good WiFi. There's a balcony that's ideal for when catching afternoon sunshine. There is some building work opposite, but it's sporadic and they never started before 0900. The apartment is a few minutes from a corner shop and a few cafes. It's about 10 minutes walk to centre of town. The compromise here is that it sits on a very steep hill. And then there's 2 flights of stairs. For me, it improved my fitness. I only had a couple of minor issues during my stay. They were dealt with quickly and effectively. The cleaners were excellent, and the flat was very clean. The letting company (AIA) were very obliging in providing baby equipment and allowing us more guests when my family had their departure flights cancelled. All in all, we had a great time here, and would recommend

Wohnen nahe Stadtzentrum
In dem Apartment in der Altstadt von Funchal haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Obwohl die unmittelbare Umgebung etwas heruntergekommen wirkt, da gleich nebenan die Dächer der Häuser eingestürzt sind, ist das Haus in dem sich die Wohnung befindet in Ordnung und das Apartment ist saniert und neu möbliert. Das einchecken erfolgte kontaktlos und verlief reibungslos. Die Wohnung ist gut und zweckmäßig ausgestattet, zum Beispiel mit Kaffemaschine, Waschmaschine und Geschirrspüler. Der Blick Richtung Monte und dem Meer ist fantastisch. Vom Hauseingang aus tritt man direkt auf die stark befahrene Straße und man muss aufpassen, dass man nicht angefahren wird. Die Innenstadt erreicht man zu Fuss in 5 Minuten, je nach körperlicher Fitness benötigt man für den Rückweg durch den steilen Anstieg der Strasse jedoch deutlich länger. Wir haben für den Rückweg den Bus 15 benutzt, mit dem man bis zur Rua Alto Pico Achada fahren kann. Von dort sind es etwa 150 Meter bis zur Wohnung, die man bergab läuft. Die Mitarbeiter von Island Apart haben Rückfragen schnell beantwortet und bei Probleme Unterstützung angeboten. Zu Beginn unseres Aufenthaltes von 8 Wochen haben wir darauf hingewiesen, dass die Sitzflächen der Loungsessel durchgebrochen waren. Leider wurden während unseres Aufenthaltes die Sitzmöbel nicht ausgetauscht. Das Apartment können wir trotz der angesprochenen Einschränkungen empfehlen. Wir können uns Island Apart für unseren nächsten Madeira Aufenthalt durchaus wieder als Vermieter vorstellen, allerdings werden wir altersbedingt eine andere Wohnlage bevorzugen.
