Isabel is great: easy to reach and she replies quickly. The apartment is clean and spacious, really nothing to complain there. The only reason for bringing the 10 all the way back to a 7 is the noise. The great location close to the market and restaurants comes with a drawback: the noise from the streets in combination with single glazing was quite disruptive to our sleep.

Neighborhood
Close to the harbor, right above a supermarket, close to the restaurants and the beach. Only about a 20min drive from Funchal. I haven't tried public transport, so can't say anything about that.

Apartmant is true to photos, perfectly postioned on the island. Everything needed very close. Isabel is very responsive and kind, ready to help out resolve any situation fast. Pingo Doce, supermarket is next door. It gets a little noisy at night but nothing troublesome if you are in the apartment or room.

The app is in a great condition. It's very well maintained and has everything you need for comfortable stay. The host is very responsive and helpful.

Neighborhood
Câmara de Lobos is a nice place. Its harbour is one of recommended places to visit during trip to Madeira.
There is a beautiful oceanside walkway towards Funchal. However, it's under construction at the moment and closed right after cement factory.
The apartments are located on the main street, right above the grocery store (which is very convenient), and opposite the market. The location is quite noisy due to diesel intercity busses and horrible sounding motorbikes (of which there are many). It's okay during night (after midnight till ~6 am) but sometimes you don't want to open windows during the day because of the noise. Another problem is smokers (from the grocery) who usually stay right under your windows making you (and your kids) smell their smoke.
And there are bunch of homeless people who usually hang around entrance to the apartments. They are harmless but sometimes might be a bit noise (one of them loves to whistle all the day, they can argue sometimes).

Visit CHOUX PÂTISSERIE when you are in Funchal. You won't regret. They have really good deserts, and the atmosphere is very peaceful.

The location of the apartment is amazing. 5 minutes to walk to tens of restaurants and bars. Right below the apartment grocery shop, where you can buy grilled chicken and sweet potatoes and that's a very affordable way of living. There is a great pizza restaurant, where the Italian chef doing an amazing job.

The apartment is a great size for a family of 4 and the balcony is great for morning and evening chilling time. It's very interesting to watch life right in front of the building from the balcony.

There is a great route to Funchal and a natural pool around the sea. 2,2km by walking around the sea. Great bars and sand beaches to explore there.

It was 40 minutes on average to a lot of lavadas around the island, and 15 minutes to Funchal. We found a great Praia de Machico (beach) which was amazing. The best lavada for kids was PR 6.1 - Levada do Risco.

Little Things to improve in the apartment -> mattress and hot water during the stay.

We stayed in December and we were surprised by the temperature of the ocean. A couple of times we swam with kids.

This very cozy and spacious apartment is located in the center of Camara de Lobos. The apartment in reality feels bigger than in the photos. Fully equipped and suitable for a long-term stay.

The location is great, but keep in mind it's pretty noisy during the day since a grocery shop and busy street are located right next to the apartment.

Diana is an incredible host: she was in touch during our entire stay, and she is very helpful and friendly :)

The flat was as described - looks really good and provides everything one needs for a longer stay. The location is great with a supermarket right next to the main entrance, with restaurants on the roof and a cafe across the street, etc. However, it's a bit noisy in the morning around 7am as the street is busy. You can also find a pebble beach 5min from the apartment.
The communication with the host was great.

Central location in Câmara de Lobos, a grocery store next door and lots of nearby restaurants. Tasteful design of home, and Diana is super helpful, responsive, flexible with check-in and check-out times. Walkable area - be sure to walk along the promenade towards Praia Formosa - great for walks, jogs, and stunning views…and there are restaurants along the way and beaches.

For those sensitive to sound, the flat does receive some outside noise from the passing cars and some people on the street, but you can choose to sleep in the second room to avoid any disturbance.

Neighborhood
Steps away from the charming fisherman’s village and gorgeous views of the water. Quite a handful of people lingering on the streets, just as an fyi, but never a safety concern.

The apartment is clean, bright, and spacious, boasting a convenient location near the ocean, observation decks, the beach, a bus stop, a large grocery store, a farmer's market, and a pharmacy. The only drawback is the slight noise from the street due to its placement in a busy area. However, with the windows closed, the road noise becomes barely audible. Additionally, there is a playground for small children. The hosts are helpful, hospitable, and respond quickly. Diana even prepared an extra bed for the child. I highly recommend both the hosts and the apartment.

It's pretty and large flat in the center of village. Supermarket, bars and restaurants are close, and this is really important on Madeira, because you don't have to go far on very steep slopes)
If you want to movie on island you should rent a car or go by taxi, bus rarely go there and the stop is far away.
I had only one problem while I was living there, but for me it was so significant that I moved out ahead of schedule. A drug dealer works not far from the house, and drug addict guys are constantly hanging around. For two weeks I have not encountered any problems from them, except for the constant noise. But my experience of living in similar areas in other countries, prompted me to leave there. So think about how loyal you are to such an environment, otherwise everything was fine.
