On arrival the apartment was very clean with everything you could require for a short holiday. The kitchen was well equipped, the fans in the living area and bedroom were especially useful and the provided hairdryer was powerful. The bed was very comfortable and, with the bedroom shutters closed we could confidently leave the French doors onto the terrace open all night - necessary, as there is no air conditioning. The highlight for us was definitely the terrace, with fabulous views over Funchal. Of course, this means that everything is either uphill or downhill, and as a mature couple with joint problems we did find this challenging, but taxis are reasonably priced. Afonso was super helpful, providing lots of information, responding to our queries very quickly, and even kindly storing our luggage after check out time. As we arrived in the late evening, we would have appreciated a small supply of milk, coffee etc but Afonso did leave a lovely welcome gift of fruit and local Madeira products including wine and biscuits.. We stayed for 2 weeks and were disappointed that there was no cleaning or change of bed linen and towels mid way through without additional cost, despite there being no reduction in price for the second week. Some cleaning products were provided and there is a washing machine - but as I was on holiday, I only did the essentials. We didn’t notice a barbecue or beach towels, so do check with Afonso if there are important for your stay.
