VB Madeira 1BR by the Marina

A few items to sort out here. 1) First of all, we couldn't access the apartment until an hour after we were allowed access! (4pm) The host said they were there, but we were there for 2 hours waiting. Nobody was there to let us in until 5pm! 2) The biggest problem we had was that we only had one Towel each for the whole 2 weeks. We had to wash them all the time. But the terrace had no sun all day, so it took up to 2 days to dry them? Therefore we were using damp towels almost continually. It was a nightmare! we needed at least 2 towels even just for rotation of washes! 3) You must be very careful when bending down near the hob. I bashed my head on the cooker hood a few times! 4) The toaster is very basic and rubbish! Probably made in the 1930's? 5) There are not enough cooking items. 6) The linen is never changed so we had the same bedding for 2 weeks! Again. washing caused a big problem when trying to dry the sheets etc! 7) The pots are useless, especially hotting up water. They don't heat up for ages on the "very poor" ceramic hobs. Timing our rice for a meal was a joke! 8) We couldn't access the apartment until 5pm. 2 of us with 5 bags and cases, this made things very difficult. There's no place to leave the cases until we had access! 9) If you turn on the kettle when the hobs/oven are being used, the power keeps on tripping out! 10) There were people working in the above flat/s during the whole fortnight from 8am until 10 pm using drills and hammers! Apart from that, nice place!

I think a to in the bedroom would be a nice touch and a general upgrade to existing media offered.
