Good place to stay
An Island Apart ist obviously keen to keep customers satisfied. The apartment was clean and has all the comfort needed. Not far from the city but not fit vor disabled people (too many steps). The Service was good and fast.

Can Highly Recommend
My family enjoyed a fantastic week in Madeira and were all extremely happy with the apartment. Not only is it a great size, easily accommodating the four of us, it was also in a great location within minutes of the centre of Funchal, a large supermarket as well as the old market, cable car ride and the sea/marina front. Many fabulous restaurants were within a 15 minute walk. We hired a car for two days to tour around the island, and the provided car park spot was ideal - literally one lift stop below the apartment, and easy access via a key controlled electric door. Overall we can all heartily recommend staying here - you will not be disappointed

A piece of tranquillity two steps from Funchal city center
The apartment is located in a quiet residential complex. At night there was no noise from the neighbors or from the city, ideal for those who want tranquility. The location with respect to the historic center is exceptional: in less than 10 minutes you can reach the seafront, but there is the advantage of having a private garage (parking in Funchal is difficult to find and requires a fee). Ground floor apartment, really spacious with a nice little terrace from which you can exit directly to the swimming pool. Gas cooker with a good supply of utensils and a washing machine that is very useful for washing clothes after the long walks in Madeira.

A very good apartment
It was nice to spend a week there. Everything needed was in the apartment. It was clean. Good location. Close to bus stop, also to that one where a bus from the airport stops. About 7minutes to the supermarket and 10minutes to the street with many cafes. The team was in contact in advance and provided their watsapp for communucation. The only problem was to go up from the main road. There are just a couple minutes to go up which is no problem for young people at all, but can be not that easy for seniors.

I enjoyed my stay in this lovely spacious apartment. The terrace gets sun in the morning. There was a funny, curious cat roaming the garden that made breakfast entertaining. I didn't get into the pool as I found it too cold but it was very well maintained and clean. The bed was very comfortable, kitchen had all the common appliances.
The fridge makes a loud sound periodically but easy to ignore. Regarding the leakage in the shower, this is because there's a small slit between the glass screen and the bathtub and I fixed it by sliding a towel into the slit. No more water on the floor! The apartment is located on a steel hill, so may not be ideal for those who find it difficult to walk up hills but shouldn't be a problem if you have a car. There's a garage as well.
The apartment is a 10 min walk from the city center and supermarkets.
I would highly recommend this apartment.

Das Appartement war sehr abgewohnt und hĂ€tte dringend eine Renovierung nötig. Es gab viel zu wenig SchrĂ€nke oder Haken um mal etwas aufzuhĂ€ngen. Die Terrasse ist nur fĂŒr zwei Personen geeignet, obwohl das Appartement fĂŒr 4 Personen ist. Direkt vor der Anlage wurde ein neues Haus gebaut, dadurch viel BaulĂ€rm und SichtbeschrĂ€nkung. Aber das wussten wir vorher und hat uns nicht so sehr gestört. Lage war super đ.
Vielen Dank fĂŒr Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass Ihre Erfahrung nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprach. Ihre Hinweise zur Renovierung und zur Anzahl der SchrĂ€nke und Haken nehmen wir ernst und werden diese prĂŒfen, um unseren Service fĂŒr zukĂŒnftige Aufenthalte zu verbessern. Wir freuen uns jedoch, dass Sie die Lage als positiv empfunden haben. Nochmals vielen Dank fĂŒr Ihre RĂŒckmeldung.

Top Wohnung, aber schlechte Kommunikation beim Check In
Die Wohnung top ausgestattet. Wir hatten einen Pool und Meerblick. Leider auch eine Baustelle vor der TĂŒr, aber es war in der Gegend immer noch ĂŒberraschend ruhig. Die Möbel sind etwas Ă€lter, aber okay. Was nicht okay war, war das Personal fĂŒr den Check-in. Die abgemachte Zeit zur SchlĂŒsselĂŒbergabe wurde nicht ansatzweise eingehalten. Statt um 18 Uhr, kamen wir erst um 19.20 Uhr in die Wohnung. Statt gesagt wurde, dass es noch mindestens eine Stunde dauert, bekamen wir die Info, dass er noch einen anderen Check In macht und dann sofort kommt. Ich bezweifle, dass es nur einer war. Die Kommunikation war schlecht. Auch bei der Zentrale, nur Ausreden, obwohl ich nette VerbesserungsvorschlĂ€ge gab, wie z.B. SchlĂŒsselsysteme einzurichten um Personal zu entlasten. Leider hat es den Aufenthalt versaut. Auch die zig Formulare zum AusfĂŒllen davor und danach. Ein entspannter Urlaub war es nicht.

Vielen Dank fĂŒr Ihr ausfĂŒhrliches Feedback. Es tut uns wirklich leid zu hören, dass Ihr Eincheckvorgang nicht reibungslos verlief und Ihre Kommunikation mit unserem Team nicht zufriedenstellend war. Ihre Anregungen zu Verbesserungen, insbesondere in Bezug auf ein SchlĂŒsselsystem, sind Ă€uĂerst wertvoll und werden berĂŒcksichtigt.
Wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Ausstattung der Wohnung, den Pool und die Aussicht auf das Meer genossen haben. Es ist groĂartig zu hören, dass Sie die Wohnung und die Lage trotz der Baustelle als ruhig empfunden haben.
Wir entschuldigen uns nochmals fĂŒr die Unannehmlichkeiten bei Ihrer Ankunft und hoffen, dass wir in Zukunft die Gelegenheit haben werden, Ihnen einen besseren Service zu bieten.

Very good location in the city center by walk just 5 minutes. The apartment is fully equiped with a lot of space, really comfortable. We enjoyed also the swimming pool.
wij hebben hier een maand verbleven, was een top vakantie. enige minpuntjes, het zwembad was kapot, dus daar konden we jammer genoeg geengebruik van maken (hebben wel een compensatie gekregen maar bleef toch jammer) en dan......... die berg omhoog, niet te doen. we waren telkens kapot als we boven waren.Prachtige ligging maar een hel om er te geraken. als je iets ouder bent zou ik toch twee keer nadenken. voor de rest kan je over kleine prullen zagen, maar daar heb ik geen behoefte aan, vriendelijke groeten Maria

Perfect solution for Madeira stay
The apartment was a super solution to our stay in Madeira.
A very quite and safe area, in the same time super close to the Funchal cafe&bars area, as well as to the harbor / walking distance!
We felt there as in our own home - all utensils to our use, cute little balcony for breakfasts & dinners with a pool view :)
Our IslandApart contact person was super responsive, kind and helpful.
We could count on him with no issue - everything was explained very well & we were well taken care of.
Garage included makes it all easy - it's better to rent a car if you wish to really see everything that Madeira has in store for adventure lovers.
To sum up: We recommend IslandApart very much, and this place even more :)

Nice stay at Funchal City Centre
Very good location at Funchalâs city centre. Small apartment but with everything you need for a family of four stay!
The apartment was good. The location was also good. The only problem were cats. We couldnât open windows much and when we did it, we had to take care because cats were into the house.
