There was a miscommunication for check-in. The process took over two hours and the property manager couldn't get the keys to work. This was After travelling all day, it took us two hours to check into the property The employee pretty much just shrugged their shoulders at the experience. One of the issues was that the employee could not get the key to work. We eventually got it to work ourselves and they sent a maintenance person to look at it and they said we should just use it in a certain way not always reliable so we spent two weeks fighting with this door lock. For each communication with the company, there was absolutely no accountability for any issues that we were having. The accommodations we were OK and Madeira is stunning. I would go back but stay at another location..

There were a number of inconveniences with this place, which led to a disappointing and frustrating stay in Madeira. Most notably, communication from staff is poor and do not provide much thoughtfulness or care in making sure your stay is enjoyable. Some of minor inconveniences include: - the fans they provide smell of dust or mold, despite the office saying they are new - you are a bit farther away from the beach than you would think from the pictures; not a huge deal but ~ 6-10 minute walk since you have to follow the road down the hill - the wi-fi is flagged on apple products for poor security; just as an FYI - it is extremely confusing and difficult to find the location This is just a short list of some of the inconveniences, which make this location less desirable than we initially thought. The biggest inconvenience was when we were told that the building was going to be shutting off our water all morning till early afternoon. An Island Apart does not own the building and said the maintenance was out of their control. While this is understandable, there was a complete lack of understanding or consideration from An Island Apart. After saying they would look into the matter, they stopped responding to any and all future messages of mine, which reflects pretty poorly to say the least. If you are coming to Madeira to relax and be comfortable, give your money towards places and people that actually care about your time on the island. Future travelers should stay away

The view was good. The location was good. The check-in process was absolutely dreadful, as was the communication with the company regarding anything that needed attention.

Une superbe expérience. La situation géographique de l'appartement appréciable, car plage accessible à pied. L'accès aux commerces très facile, mais un peu éloigné sans voiture. La vue sur le littoral exceptionnelle. Notre séjour ne nous a laissé que de très bons souvenirs. Le retour à l'appartement chaque soir était très apprécié, le bruit des vagues berçant nos soirées.
