This House (not Apartment) Exceeds the Description
I confess I was expecting an accommodation past its prime, because few recent reviews have posted on VRBO. We were in for a pleasant surprise. As Filomena explains, she purposely downplays the online description so that guests' expectations are exceeded!
The house is spacious: two bedrooms, living/dining area, kitchen, bathroom, utility... and of course the balcony overlooking all of Funchal, a view even better than well-publicized miradouros. A slight mustiness, probably comes from the subtropical climate, which we got used to quickly. As others noted, you hear highway noise--but the phenomenal view outweighs this minor disturbance.
We cooked in on several evenings, taking advantage of the well-stocked kitchen. Otherwise, we took Bolt/taxis to downtown restaurants, not wanting to deal with traffic and parking)... you need to be patient for Bolt to arrive especially during rush hour. I would suggest ordering your Bolt/taxi 30 minutes before you need it.
We drove all over the island in our rental car. The house is very convenient to the highway. A great base!
Filomena is an attentive hostess: we had clear instructions to get in the first day, and she even allowed us to check in early. Filomena came around during our visit to make sure we had everything we needed.
In summary, this is an excellent base for exploring Madeira--we would stay here again in a heartbeat.
