OurMadeira - Taberna Apartments, Old Town

The place is clean and walkable.

The property is very close to the water and there are LOTS of dining options nearby (in fact the first floor has a restaurant). It can get loud in the evening but we knew that would be the case and expected it. However the communication in terms of after arriving to the property was challenging. We waiting around the property before we saw anyone to ask about check in, and calls were not going through. It was Sunday morning and the office was closed but I had given my arrival information in advance so it would have been nice to get a little more clarification on the check in instructions. But once we had checked in and gotten our room, everything was smooth after that. Just be aware that there is no air conditioning and the fan that is in the room does not work very well.

Fab location. The property is located just a two minute walk from the seafront. (Right by the cable car) Entrance liberally on one of the prettiest streets in the town. The downside therefore is the noise, we had number 3 on the side street which not only was busy with traffic from 5 am also had a nightclub of sorts which went on til 2 am most nights! The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped to self cater if you can resist the many local restaurant's which offer fabulous food. If you are a night owl or insomniac this could be a good choice, otherwise take good earplugs.
