Gyönyörű és nagyon ideális helyen van ez a nagyon egyszerű szállás, elsősorban alvási célra.
Pros:

Elhelyezkedése fantasztikus. Kedves kis bekészítés várt helyi finomságokból, kellő tisztasággal. A klíma megfelelően fűtött.

Cons:

Nincs egyetlen szekrény sem, nincs polc a fürdőben nem lehet semmit sem kipakolni, 5 napig bőröndből öltöztünk. Takarítás nem volt 5 napig és még egy söprű sem volt. Hajszárítót hiába kértünk, nem kaptunk.

Un super séjour à Madère
Pros:

L'appartement est idéalement placé en plein centre de Funchal, tout est accessible à pied. Les rues ne sont pas pour autant bruyantes. Arrivée et départ autonome avec des instructions claires sans mauvaise surprise. La literie est particulièrement bonne.

Cons:

Petit bémol sur le peu de rangement pour les vêtements, il y a juste une petite commode dans l'entrée et un portant avec cintres.
