    It was quite noisy - traffic and noise from outside. From inside - people walking on the wooden floors above our apartment. Also people coming in and out the apartment block door. We were on the first floor and unfortunately I'm a light sleeper.

    Excellent location. Very clean and spacious.

    No complaints at all but would advise that there is no lift and if you cannot climb stairs easily then not probably not for you.

    This apartment was large, comfortable, well resourced and in the most wonderful location for flower festival, music festival and a short walk to reach the old town and other cultural areas. Close to wonderful restaurants and easy access to busses, taxis and cable cars to view the island. Overlooks a beautiful municipal garden. Would highly recommend.

    The floor needs to be substitute with a brand new - it gets very noisy during the night whatever someone walks through. Watch out with the floor after taking a shower, since it gets very splippery.

    Location is absolutely incredible. You have a huge house with a lot of amenities.

    The only thing is that the wooden floors are creaky which might not work if someone has a sensitive sleep (ie kids).

    Very nice apartment in an excellent location.

    That we didn’t stay longer :-(.

    The place is enormous. 3 floors, literally. So it was an amazing suprise, it is an old building with unique atmosphere. Very very well equiped kitchen, it looked truly cosy and clean. Beds were comfortable and the views from bedrooms and terrace were stunning. And the location is great too, we walked from the building straight to the Carneval on the main Street. One of my best accomodations ever.

    This is NOT about the property itself but it was frustrating to be getting mixed messages and communication. The description of property facilities in relation to parking it says - Private Parking is possible at a location nearby (reservation Needed) and costs €5 per day. However when I contacted the property I was told this property doesn’t have a parking place. When I questioned again stating what is on the site I was given the name of two car parks near by but I would have to reserve myself. When we arrived at the Lodges I read in the Welcome/ information folder in regards to Parking- “in case you need a  place in the car park. You must ask us directly so we can provide you with an access card and location plan. This service has a daily cost of €4.50 is also stated that the parking card should always be left in the mailbox of your apartment at the time of checkout.” I called the person responsible for Our check in and she asked me was it already booked. When I say no she told me she would contact the reservations team and they would call me. I heard nothing else further. We did get ourselves sorted with a 24 hour car park 10 minutes walk away for €4 per day. We could have paid €9 per day at the one 2 doors down but it opens 8am to 8pm and we were leaving at 4am on the last day.

    Spacious apartment that is very nicely furnished and up to date. The photos are very accurate. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. Good pressure in the shower and plenty of hot water. The location is excellent. The Lodges are in the heart of the town facing a beautiful park and within easy walking distance to the supermarket and many wonderful restaurants. It was very quiet at night.

    The location is perfect, in front of big Garden in Funchal and is basically in the heart of the city. The house has an amazing, cozy vibe and has everything you need to have a great stay. Loved the high ceiling and the well lit rooms with windows everywhere. Definitely will stay here again if end up in Madeira. Highly recommended

    Could have a bit more kitchen supplies for cooking and the rug could be cleaned.

    The location is in a nice part of town, with lots of great restaurants nearby. For us it was the perfect spot to explore from. The apartment is more spacious then we expected it to be from the photos. We didn't meet the staff, but they were very responsive on whatsapp and I when we wanted to get the private parking last minute they arranged it quickly.

    The main issue we had were the extremely creaky floor boards throughout the apartment. It was so bad that it gets on your nerves. Every step you take makes a very loud creak. If you need to go to bathroom in the middle of the night you can’t do this without waking your partner . I understand the owners want to keep the integrity of the original building by keeping the original floors but I feel that I wouldn’t stay again unless the issue were fixed .

    The property is in a perfect location. It is very large , with original features of the building . Bathroom is huge with good shower and water pressure, has his and hers sink. Bedroom has aircon
