Jakub and Petr were helpful and always responding quickly whenever I had a query.
B. Internet works very well if you are working remotely.
C. The location in Funchal is great: very central and convenient for buses, teleferico, access to seafront.
D. Vitor is an amazing host, helpful, kind, very quick in addressing requests/questions.
E. On the downside of the apartment, it is noisy due to the big street downstairs and there is no space outside (shared balcony, garden) which I found missing when working remotely and being therefore locked in the studio flat for some hours. But being fair, the price is also more reasonable than other places... one cannot have it all.
Estrela is a great neighbourhood with everything you need within walking distance; 15 min walk to Bairro Alto, 10 min to Santos train station, 2 min to the tram stop, 10 min to a big grocery store, and 2 min to the minimercado (small store) on the corner. The beautiful park Jardim da Estrela is also only 2-3 minutes away and you have a nice variety of cafes and restaurants close by. The area felt very safe (it's located right behind the Parliament, The São Bento Palace), and you are surrounded by friendly neighbours.
We had good communication with the hosts, Iris and Maud; they were very responsive and easy to deal with. Would absolutely recommend this apartment and Lisbeyond to others who want to enjoy their stay in Lisbon.
