Crazy Location
The apartment itself was lovely…very clean and tastefully decorated, and it met almost all of my needs. Finding and getting to the apartment was insane. The only way to get to it is to drive up a narrow one way street/hill the WRONG way. And the hill is so steep it’s like being on a roller coaster. Once you make it up the hill, you drive along a very narrow alleyway to get to the apartment and garage. The rental car I was in sustained damage from scraping the cement wall opposite the garage. If you stay here and rent a car, do yourself a favor and get the smallest one you can. The apartment also has no air conditioning or window screens. It is close enough to the harbor/town that you can walk, but beware of those hills coming home! Judite was lovely and responsive. I only wish she had been more proactive in giving me directions to the apartment, knowing I was driving a rental from the airport.

Great Apartment and Views!
Very clean, and well setup apartment. Great views, and location is good to. Don't let other reviewers scare you about the hills. Yes, it's hilly, all of Madeira is hilly, but taxis will take you up to the apartment. We stopped our taxis at the cudesac below just to save them the hassle. The apartment is only 100 feet up the road. Downlaod the Bolt Taxi app, and you'll be happy.

Very clean comfortable property and very central for town. Views are amazing and enjoyed watching the cruise ships arriving. Quite a steep hill to climb but this you get used to climbing!! Would definitely recommend this apartment and when we return we would stay here in the future.

Lovely spot
Great place to stay. We had a car and managed to get it into the garage but only because the other visitors did not have one. I think trying to fit 2 cars in would be tight. Otherwise really good place to stay. Very friendly owner.
