Great stay and nice mellow location

We started our visit to Madeira here and this was the perfect place to ease into our trip. The location is great with a short walk to restaurants and the water as well as a small grocery across the street. Self check-in was very smooth and we appreciated the thorough responses to our questions pre- trip. Their recommended taxi driver was top-notch and made our trip extra enjoyable.
