beautiful appartement with big Garden, sea view

Ocijenjeno: 03.07.2022 Duljina boravka: 29 dana

Here are a few positive aspects:
- washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, fridge, internet/router are available and o.k.
- for digital nomads: Internet connection was relatively stable, not superfast but 70MBit downstream is enough for most applications. I used MS Teams and several on premise applications without any big trouble.
- TV with Netflix (you need your own account) is available - but who wants to watch TV in Madeira?
- parking lot in the underground car park (outside it's hard to get a parking lot and the terrain is very steep)
- The apartment has a garden and is big enough for 2 adults and 2 children.

And here is the list of negative aspects (from my point of view):
Issues the landlord can change:
- furnishing: very worn couches in the livingroom (don't look underneath the blankets!)
- bathroom furniture is also worn out
- beds: the bed in the parents bedroom is (at its best) 140cm wide and the single beds in the other bedroom are very narrow too (ok for children, but not really for adults). The bed wobbles and gives a cheap impression.
- a broom to clean the terrace is missing
- many of the dishes are broken (mugs, drinking glasses, toothbrush mugs ...) and need urgent replacement
- the barbecue was disgusting, used coal inside and the grills were rusty and dirty (old burnt meat or fish sticked on the grills)
- the apartment was not really cleaned very well. ants in the kitchen, dust and cobwebs on the walls.

Issues the landlord can not change but are also good to know:
- good ear plugs are obligatory - the apartment is very clairaudient
- noise pollution because of yapping dogs, everywhere and every time (day and night)
- squeaky tires and car exhaust because of the adjacent basement garage

summary: This apartment is not good value for money and gives the impression of poorly maintainance.

Susjedstvo
Canico is near to the ariport and my fav. spot in Madeira - Sao Lourenco. As most people know, you need a car in Madeira, because public transport is poor. After 2020 and 2021 car rentals are very expensive.
A supermarket is in Canico center (continente) - , a smaller one for the initial equipment is 650m far from the apartment.

Lido Galomar is a very small (max. 20 people) but nice place for a swim.

Our monthly stay was great, apartment was big, sunny and equipped with everything we needed. Internet was very fast and worked well in all rooms and in garden.

Location is good, quiet area, few minutes walk to the sea, supermarkets and restaurants.
