Downtown Funchal Apartments by An Island Apart

We absolutely loved this place! Super location, clean, great communication with the host, and more!!

Hot water takes ages to run

The location was amazing - surrounded by restaurants, walking distance to a large mall, and a couple of blocks from the ocean. It was incredibly convenient. The room was fine, it didn't wow me, but it did the job. This is a place you stay for the location's convenience and to have a room with a mini kitchen.

The humidity in the room is a thing, but I was on an island, so really, that is on me! The check-in process was super confusing. You need to have a door code and a door lock code emailed to you; no one will come to meet you. The couch was quite dated and difficult for two people to sit on comfortably. And the description said there was parking, but there isn't. However, there are a number of public parking spots nearby (like at the mall)

Very spacious and perfect location for standard apartment. Great host service.

We arrived @ property @ 12.20am as advised We could not gain access When the Agent turned up @ 1am he let us into an adjacent appartment as somebody was already in our apartment This was frustrating due to the lateness of the hour and the unfamiliar surroundings The agent did answer my call when I called them and was at the property 30 minutes later - We were tired dn frustrated and the following day lived with the uncertainty of being moved to another apartment (which we were agreeable to if needed) - but in the end we were not moved The staff at all times were polite and attempted to resolve. It was a pity this was not addressed earlier. I had 2x missed called from the agent while on thee runway in shannon as our flight was about to take off - but no message or preadvance wanring of the imending difficulty on our arrival and then the 30 minute wait after I had to call them after multiple attmpts to get into the aprtment

As above
