Amazing
We have travelled around the world using VRBO and this is the nicest place we have had. Everything was good. It is a fairly new house with everything you would need supplied.There were 4 of us and we had lots of room. The one unique thing was a free standing lookout in the backyard which overlooks Funchal. There are 4 chairs up there so you can enjoy lunch or supper and a bottle of wine while watching the city below. There is a great grocery store about a 15 minute walk max and a great little cafe bakery less than 5 minutes away where we had supper a few times. It is a 20 minute walk to the downtown core. It is downhill but than coming back there are 182 steps. We like the workout but you can always get a taxi back up for around 10 euros. Ask Rosa and she will give you directions to the path. It is easy. And then there is Rosa. Great lady and she lives just across the street. She offers free pickup when you land. She has a driver who will come and get you so the day we arrived we were surprised to see Rosa. She said her driver wasn’t available. Then the next day we went to get groceries to stock cupboards and had a lot to carry. To our surprise again Rosa was there and gave us a ride back. It gets better. She even drove us to the harbour to catch the ferry to Porto Santo when her driver wasn’t available. Great host and a great house. If you go to Madeira this is the place to stay in Funchal. You will not be disappointed.
