The expectations of the flat were met one hundred per cent. Remote working is possible due to the good internet. Daily cooking in the well-equipped kitchen is possible. Communication with the host ran smoothly at a very high level.

Laid-back residential area outside of Funchal. You'll get everything you need in the local shops.

The apartment was as described. In one bedroom, there is a blue desk with a deskchair on wheels, which is good to work on. The second bedroom didn't have a desk. We needed a second working space and had to use the table from the veranda and a normal chair. The internet is excellent, we didn't have any technical problems with telephone or video conferences.
The apartment has everything you need (if you don't need a dishwasher). The furniture is old style and the decorations fit to the name, Casa Shiva. Someone who is looking for a fancy, stylish place to stay, will be disappointed. We found the kitchen and the bathrooms are a bit worn out. But the big veranda, the view down to Cristo Rei and to the sea are worth the rent! We loved it. The old dog is no longer there, but Sverker just got a cute small and gentle dog who is still getting used to the surroundings. Sylvie sometimes gave yoga classes in the house, but most of the time, we didn't hear it. The landlords are very friendly and Sverker was very helpful, whenever there was a problem or a need, he was there.

Szomszédság
Residential area, houses with gardens, very little traffic. Quiet area, except for barking dogs, like everywhere in Madeira :-)
There are bus stops near by, but they only serve Funchal and Carnico. For everything else, there is a 7m car rental 5 walking minutes away. Renting in the internet is cheaper than in the shop.

The house was nice, a bit old furnished, but that's common to Madeira.
The landlord was nice, and altogether the atmosphere was good.

We recently had the most amazing experience staying at Sverker's apartment in Canico, Madeira. It was an absolute delight from beginning to end. Sverker is an exceptional host who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. From the warm welcome to the valuable local tips, he truly made us feel at home.

The apartment itself exceeded all expectations. The stunning ocean views from the balcony were breathtaking. The modern and stylish decor created a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It was impeccably clean and equipped with everything we needed for a memorable stay.

The location was ideal - a peaceful retreat away from the city, yet close enough to explore the beaches and enjoy the beauty of Madeira. We especially loved the unforgettable sunsets we witnessed from the balcony.

In summary, we highly recommend Sverker's apartment in Canico, Madeira. It was an incredible experience, and we can't thank Sverker enough for his hospitality. We look forward to returning in the future!

We spent 1 month here and overall enjoyed the time a lot.
The hosts Sverker and Silvia are very positive and hospitable people who tried to find a solution for everything. Silvia is also a highly recommended yoga teacher.
The apartment is spacious with a large living area with kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. It has a fabulous view and a huge terrace. The bathroom and the kitchen are a bit outdated and should be renewed soon (especially the cooking surface). Nevertheless, we could use everything without problems ... we cooked a lot. (We did't use the microwave.)
There is a workstation in one of the bedrooms. Also, you can work at the table on the terrace, which we partly put in the apartment. The internet connection was very good.
In the immediate vicinity is everything you need for everyday life: 2-3 simple Cafes, a bakery, 2-3 restaurants, 2 minimarkets. The bus goes about 1 time an hour to Funchal. If you want to see more of the island we would highly recommend renting a car – especially because everything on this island is very steep: This went problem-free at "7M" in the main street at relatively low prices. The cars are already a bit worn, but were otherwise reliable.

… and most important: There’s the the old and very cute dog Pepe, who will come to visit you from time to time.

Thanks for the good time!

What a great stay! The apartment was clean, spacious, fully equipped with good internet connection and most importantly with a stunning view of the ocean, we didn't miss anything. Location of the flat was good as well - a quiet area close to the beach " de Garaju" and the supermarket Pingo Doce. During our stay we interacted mainly with Silvia who was always available to help when we needed it. Strongly recommend :)

We stayed at the Garajau apartment for 5 weeks in June/July, 2022. Our interaction was mainly with Sylvia who was very sweet and always checked in with us when we saw each other during our stay. We enjoyed spending time getting to know her.
The apartment has a lovely terrace with a view directly out to the Atlantic and the Cristo Rei monument. You can sit at a table and chairs for dining or to work, as well as enjoy lounging in chairs to take in the view and the sun.
The apartment is older and certain areas are in need of upgrading in order to remain competitive with other available units.
The living area is open with a lot of light, sofa, chair, tv(didn’t use), and blue tooth speakers. The internet connection is slow and not conducive to remote work but otherwise functional.
The kitchen is open to the living area, unfortunately, it is not completely functional. The stove top is old and rusted, the microwave is also old and has a very bad odor. I was shocked to see the condition of the cabinets which were not clean with stains that could have easily been removed. There were dirty mugs and cutlery in the cabinets and the drawers. I was unable to cook one meal in the kitchen, including making a good cup of coffee in the morning. The washing machine located beside the kitchen works well along with the drying rack.
There are two nice sized bedrooms with double beds. Linens were provided, each bedroom has a window opening to the terrace area.
There are two hall bathrooms, each older and in need of an upgrade. The walk-in shower is small with a lot of erosion and ugly stuff that just can’t be removed. The 2nd. Bathroom has a tub with a hand-held shower. Do not try to use it hanging from the wall otherwise it may hit you on the head. Also, the tub is very slippery. Be aware, the water pressure is not strong and changes based on what is being used. There was only one bath towel and two hand towels provided, however Sylvia provided an additional set upon request.
If you don’t plan on cooking meals and are looking for a shorter stay then it may be right for you.

Garajau has a village like feel. We met a number of residents while there and felt like residents as we spent more time in the cafes and restaurants. It offers two small mercados, a pharmacy, salons and cafes.

It's a very quiet, residential area.
The upside is you don't hear cars or traffic, the downside is there isn't much in terms of restaurants but there is both a Pingo Doce and Continente nearby
