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.

Excellent location & facility but admin issues
Superb location in the middle of Funchal. Modern accommodation. Our room was already occupied on arrival and we were allocated to another room. However the following night, other guests accessed our new room, were unable to contact appartment management and we had to resolve the issue. Note phone number to contact appartment management for access on Expedia website was incorrect.

Ants everywhere!
The Marketplace Apartments are located in the centre of funchal and is very convenient for first-time visitors. It's close to the bus, the cable car and there is a grocery store next door. The apartment looks great and is generally well laid out. However, it must be said that there were ants EVERYWHERE despite daily cleaning service. The fruit basket provided by hotel staff contained several pieces of rotten fruit which attracted ants all over the apartment. It was difficult to relax and truly enjoy my stay with ants crawling on every surface (kitchen, bathroom as well as the bedroom). Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult to reach hotel staff as the phone number provided on the expedia booking was incorrect and no response was received to emails. Location isn't everything so I would not return to this property on my next visit to funchal and would not recommend unless the ant problem is addressed.

Excellent city centre stay
The apartments are in excellent condition. The breakfast was excellent - brought to the door each day at 8.30. Lovely bread and coffee to start the day. The cleaners were really helpful and the cleanliness is exemplary. Position is right in the centre of Funchal but the noise from the road can be easily closed off by shutting the windows - air conditioning very effective and cooled the room quickly when needed. Highly recommended for a visit.
