Great location, and a spacious room. I do recommend for anyone looking to stay by the old part of Funchal or close to the water. The pedestrian road is lined with lots of cafes and options for great food. Delicious! Only drawback is that there is no staff and we had to rely on a whats App chat to coordinate our checkin. Thankfully my phone (canadian) worked on arrival in Lisbon and then Madeira and we recieved our checkin code. Like all hotels in Madeira a tourist tax is charged but needed to be coordinated a few days prior and by a money transfer (money Gram worked!). It was a bit more work than perhaps another hotel would have required but once it was done there were no issues: the staff on the chat were prompt and provided clear instructions.

The property is very clean and quiet located in the busiest downtown area. The supermarkets are three minutes away. The service staffs are very responsive. There is AC in the room. I will definitely stay this place again. The only thing I think they can improve is to ask the cleaning ladies to chat in a lower volume every morning when they work. I can hear them chatting in the public area from my bedroom. But if you wake up and leave your room before 9am, this is not an issue at all.

We stayed at the Marketplace Apartment for a week in September. The whole staff, both on and off site, was very friendly and helpful. I was sent the access codes for self check-in via email upon arriving. The whole process was very easy and straightforward. Our apartment was cleaned everyday and the staff did a great job. The place was spacious, had everything we needed with a fully equipped kitchen. It's located in the middle of old town with coffee shops, large grocery stores, shops and Mercado do Lavradores just steps away. We loved the location and enjoyed our stay!

Fun in FUNchal...

I love the Markeptplace apartments - clean and functional and right bang in the middle of an exciting town with plenty of access to travel and entertainment. My room was kept spotless every day and, with a supermarket just round the corner, I was able to keep the place well supplied.

A hipster's paradise!

An amazing apartment right in the middle of the main pedestrian street in Funchal - strangely quiet at night, but with access to all the best bits of the city. I loved the layout of the apartment, larger than a studio, and with all you need to live independently - and the market's just across the road!!!

Great central apartment handy for sights

This is a great apartment, very central and excellent value for money. It's located in a shopping street a couple of minutes' walk from the seafront, and handy for all the major sites and the cablecar up to Monte. It's also near the airport bus stops and all the bus services to other parts of the island. It has decent wifi (not perfect, so might not be ideal if you're a big streamer but fine for email and social media). It was cleaned to a very high standard every day and had a kitchenette with all the necessary crockery and cutlery (though it would have been nice to have full salt and pepper pots rather than empty ones!) However with those small caveats considering the price and location I would definitely recommend it.
