It's a bit tricky the first time finding the location as it's tucked in under the main road., but that makes it nice and quiet.
It's good to be met and shown how everything works. Good communication when we needed it.
Showers are a bit tired but plenty hot water and clean towels.
Five minutes walk down to the waterfront where you can walk in peace in both directions.

- the fans they provide smell of dust or mold, despite the office saying they are new
- you are a bit farther away from the beach than you would think from the pictures; not a huge deal but ~ 6-10 minute walk since you have to follow the road down the hill
- the wi-fi is flagged on apple products for poor security; just as an FYI
- it is extremely confusing and difficult to find the location
This is just a short list of some of the inconveniences, which make this location less desirable than we initially thought.
The biggest inconvenience was when we were told that the building was going to be shutting off our water all morning till early afternoon. An Island Apart does not own the building and said the maintenance was out of their control. While this is understandable, there was a complete lack of understanding or consideration from An Island Apart. After saying they would look into the matter, they stopped responding to any and all future messages of mine, which reflects pretty poorly to say the least.
If you are coming to Madeira to relax and be comfortable, give your money towards places and people that actually care about your time on the island. Future travelers should stay away
Jul 2024
We understand how important clear and prompt communication is for a seamless stay, and I apologize if you felt this was lacking. We assure you that we take all feedback seriously and will address this issue to improve our services in the future.
Regarding the maintenance issue, we understand how disrupting that experience can be and apologize for any inconvenience. Although some factors are beyond our control.
As for the other inconveniences we will make sure to address these points to improve our guest's experiences.
Please note that you have asked us to check out earlier and receive a refund for unspent nights even after the modification/cancelation period, which we have denied, we hope that this was not a retaliation on our response to this particular request.
We're truly sorry your stay didn't meet your expectations. We aspire to provide a relaxing and comfortable experience for our guests, and it's disheartening to learn we fell short this time. We hope you will give us another chance in the future to provide a better experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

The accesses without a car is not friendly. Especially for old people. There's nothing at an easy walking distance.
Upon arrival we waited for the host to bring us the key but there was no previous inspection of the apartment before check-in. There were no personal washing assets (bodygel, shampoo or soap) in any of the toilets. Each of the toilets had an used toilet paper and that was it. In the kitchen there was salt and coffee. When we contacted the host (Joana) about it, she mentioned that she would speak with the cleaning team to find out what happened. We thought that someone would bring some soap or something. But it didn't happened. Even when they came for the intermediate cleaning, they didn't bring anything.
For the check-out, we asked if there was any place that we could leave our luggage for 1h30, since the check-out time was at 12 and we would leave to the airport at 13h30. We're talking about 3 people with 80 years old average age, with 3 heavy suitcases. We were told that there was no place to leave the luggage and that was it. I explained the situation. 3 old people, heavy luggage and 1:30 of waiting time that would be used to have lunch. Not the most convenient thing, carrying those heavy luggages from one place to the other. I suggested if the suitcases could be left inside of the apartment and we'd get it at 13h30 (so that the cleaning team could clean the apartment). Joana replied that she would have to speak with the reservations department but there was never a reply. We ended up doing what we suggested because if someone doesn't reply, it's because they agree, right?!
We didn't feel that service was their main goal. The funny think is that they have this platform, with everything so organized and loads of automatic messages, but then they forget how human interactions are needed and valued.

I am sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. We apologize for the lack of toiletries upon your arrival and the inconveniences you experienced with luggage storage after your checkout. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we will use it to review our processes and make necessary improvements.
We understand the importance of human interaction and prioritizing our guests' comfort. We regret that we may have missed the mark during your stay but rest assured, we take your comments seriously and will strive to provide a better experience for our future guests. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback.

Das Thema Sauberkeit hätte besser sein können. Bei Ankunft waren die Scheiben der Dusche verkalkt und die Lüfter im Bad verdreckt. Das WLAN hat in den hinteren Zimmer und defacto nicht mehr funktioniert.

What we liked:
The location - the picture makes it look isolated but it's actually very well located for the sea front, Sao Martinho (cafes, shops, restaurants), and Funchal.
The apartment - we actually found it more impressive in person than in the pictures, the view is fantastic and you get a sunset over the sea every day. Stormy days are equally as impressive.
What we felt could be improved:
Check-in - we felt the communication was poor despite keeping the host informed of our ETA, and accessing the property was unclear (the GPS location although accurate was unhelpful for accessing the property's compound).
Facilities - generally well equipped but it would really benefit from a few basic cleaning products (and a kitchen bin).
--
In summary, great apartment which would benefit from a few tweaks. On communication we did actually ask about staying for several weeks again in January but didn't hear back from the agency.

La situation géographique de l'appartement appréciable, car plage accessible à pied.
L'accès aux commerces très facile, mais un peu éloigné sans voiture.
La vue sur le littoral exceptionnelle.
Notre séjour ne nous a laissé que de très bons souvenirs.
Le retour à l'appartement chaque soir était très apprécié, le bruit des vagues berçant nos soirées.
