Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).

Luisa is a great host. She is very friendly, hospitality, and helpful. We extended our stay for one more month.
The internet connection is suitable for remote work, easily handles VPN, even on multiple computers.
There are all appliances needed for a longer stay. We liked the flat very much and highly recommend it!
The heart of the Old Town. Close to the ocean and all the shops.
Restaurant Max just below the flat has the best coffee on the island!
LANDLORD'S REPLY:
We do check the functionality of all the equipment after every tenant leaves and we do have to query at times. All we did do was query and check with the tenant and she wasn't made to pay anything, we were just checking with her. 99% of times all is left in order, so this is rather the exception than the rule.
great neighborhood for tourists but lots of construction in immediate street. not good for light sleepers or children.
+ Very good location if your aim is the attractions of Funchal.
+ The apartment is clean and recently renovated.
+ Both bedrooms have air conditioning.
+ The internet was working fine (30 Mbps)
Cons:
- Very uncomfortable and small beds.
- Poor soundproofing, so you will be woken up every morning (6/7 AM) by a loud sound from the restaurant downstairs.
- Large kitchen, but the fridge is very small and you can only cook on a small hob and microwave. Very few kitchen equipment and utensils.
- The whole apartment is cheaply furnished, so be prepared for a lot of things to break (be sure to let the hosts know and they will sort it out)
Recommendation: I think this apartment would be good for a single parent with 1/2 children or two friends.
LANDLORD'S REPLY:
Thanks for your valid comments.
We have now installed a small oven in the flat, and as we are always trying to improve the flat, we will be looking into getting a better mattress in due course.
Many thanks.
Not in the city centre, but very close to it.
MadCuba amazing cocktails and traditional Cuban food at a very friendly price (tip: 6-7 PM happy hour).
Konsai Sushi - very tasty sushi, especially the high quality.
The Snug Smoke House - the best place for meat lovers.
Bedrooms are perfect, bathroom is fine as well, the only thing that can be a bit disturbing is kitchen which is pretty dark (but it's fine, since it's beautiful out there and it makes you want to leave the place and explore the city :)). At the beginning of our stay we experienced some issues with wifi (we wanted to work in 2 separate bedrooms, both me and my husband, and the connection was too weak). We reported that to Luisa and she organized much better connection and a dedicated router super quickly, which was completely sufficient for remote work for 2 people.
The apartment is generally well equipped, the washing machine is there, you migth miss an oven if you're staying for a bit longer, but there's a microwave which was a plus for us.
Location is perfect - you're in the center of Funchal, but you do not experience a lot of tourists and it gets quickly calm in the evenings. The owners of the restaurant downstairs are super friendly and you really can feel welcomed there. Luisa was perfect as a host, super responsive and caring.
It's in the smalles street right next too the main roads (but you don't hear the noise too much), located close to restaurants and bigger grocery shops. 5 min walk to the ocean :)
Restaurant downstairs :)
As well as this there is no oven, just a microwave grill combo which is fine for short stays but awkward when you want to cook a lot of meals at home.
Finally, there were a few maintenance issues in the apartment. The toilet seat was broken and the shower drained was blocked. When I opened the drain to try to unblock it I could tell it had not been cleaned in a long time.
Overall the apartment is beautifully decorated and in a central location so I think it would be better for a long weekend or short holiday where good internet isn't required. Luisa was also very good with comms, but perhaps should reconsider her property manager!
LANDLORD'S REPLY:
Thank you very much for your feedback, this is much appreciated as this is the only way we can improve. Please note that the internet has been fully upgraded and the flat now has its own dedicated router. The internet now works perfectly and at a quick speed and will be suitable for those working from home. Again, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Regarding the microwave oven, thank you - we will look into upgrading this.
The toilet seat has now been repaired and I have discussed a new and more rigorous cleaning routine with the property manager so that the drains and other elements are deep cleaned appropriately.
Thank you again for your review!
Great location, right in the centre of Funchal. Just a 10 min walk to the water and the cable car. It's quite noisy at night, but that's to be expected for such a central location. Really close to lots of restaurants and cafes
There's a really great restaurant called Sirius just a few minutes walk. It's full of locals, if you want to get away from tourists and the food was great.
We also loved Apauza but it was a bit more touristy. Great coffee and really lovely staff
We especially appreciate the fast and friendly help and response from Ana and Luisa, who made us feel that we were not left alone whenever we needed something.
We also enjoyed the brightness of the bedrooms, which have a huge window front and a great balcony. Thanks to the thick curtains it is easy to keep the sunlight out.
The apartment was clean and has modern furniture and nice decorations.
There were a couple of things that were not very suitable for us:
The internet was slow in certian areas in the house. For-example it was not 100% reliable when using it in the bedrooms it was only fast when move closer to the main door or sitting on the stairs.
The common area where the kitchen at was a bit dark since there is no sunlight coming in. The bedrooms are directly over the restaurant, so it gets a bit noisy when it opens up at 6 or 7 in the morning. Despite all this we really enjoyed the stay in the apartment.
LANDLORD'S REPLY:
Thank you very much for your review, this is much appreciated and I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I can confirm the internet has now been fixed and the apartment has its own dedicated router, resulting in a fast and reliable connection. Indeed, the apartment is in a very central location so some noise can be experienced in the morning, hopefully this wasn't too disruptive.
Many thanks for staying with us
It is in the middle of everything. Grocery stores are 4 mins walking distance. Alot of resturants and snack bars right at the corner.
