The flat has supermarkets, corner stores and many cafes and restaurants at a walking distance, or very easily accessible by public transport. The flat is very central, less than 5 minutes away from Oktogon.
It's small and cozy, with all amenities you could need for short or longer stays (plates, cutlelry, washing machine, gas-based stovetop and oven, ironing board, cleaning supplies, etc.)
Area is relatively quiet, as are the neighbours.
Possible cons of the place: There is only one heater, situated in the bedroom, so the kitchen and bathroom can get a bit cold during the winter months. This can be remedied by baking things in the oven, or taking a hotter shower respectively, as it also warms up the room. :)
The apartement also has very little natural sunlight, facing the inner courtyard away from the sun. But there are many lights, lamps and fairy lights to keep the place bright.
Overall very satisfied with the experience, David was a lovely host, and everything was communicated clearly. Would wholeheartedly reccomend. :)
Check in was effortless, Sverker gave us a lot of hints about neighbourhoods, location of the closest shops, bakery etc.
We haven't met Sverker during our stay as he was abroad but if needed we communicated through WhatsApp.
House is as shown on photos, there is a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, and living room. If you plan to work from Madeira, internet connection was good, however there is in practice one desk which is sufficient to do a work. In the kitchen there is all essential equipment (oven, coffee machine, pan, cutlery etc).
The view from apartment is amazing.
The apartment has everything you need for a long-term stay.
We’re especially grateful to Paulo for his warm hospitality and prompt communication throughout our visit. He made everything easy and stress-free. Highly recommended!
It was nice that everything we could need was available at the house. It was very clean when we got in. Pedro's house is a cosy place. With the terrible amount of rain it was damp, but a dehumidifier was there. Just a heads up, there is airtraffic. If you're going in town it won't bother you and at night it stops.
To a limited extent, one could also use the space for remote work.
Communication with Silke and Miguel was swift and friendly, everything easy to setup, with all relevant information.
I would immediately rent the place again for a trip to Lisboa.
Overall, I’d love to live in a flat like this, we really enjoyed the area and the owners were super helpful and responsive. I’m delighted that we found this place ♥️
