"The house itself was beautiful and the host along with the housekeeper were very responsive. The pool was not heated as indicated in description. We enjoyed freshly baked bread the host provided during our stay. The bathroom sometimes had a sewer smell and required us to open and air the house out. They will be correcting the plumbing issue that resulted in fresh water flow from the toilet during our stay. They were very responsive in the clean up. "

"Location in Funchal is awesome. Only a short walk to CR7 museum, then a leisurely stroll to the cable car up to Monte, followed by the Toboggan ride down. Staff very nice and helpful. Parking option perfect too Our apartment was very spacious, and a great view from the balcony over Funchal. Only downside was that the airco was not cooling so it got a little warm, besides that all good."
