The apartment was superb, very clean! Had a shower room and an en=suite bathroom. Lovely balconies (especially the living room one), spacious living & dining room. Supermarket was 3 min walk away. Canico had various shops including: pharmacy, hairdressers, restaurants, church, all within walking distance. I just wish I had more time to do a deep dive exploration of Canico. Funchal and the airport (in opposite directions) are less than 30 mins drive away. Really appreciated the various maps that were on loan in the apartment.

Having hired a car, it would have been even better if parking was guaranteed. Still, I managed to get parking right outside for 2 out of 3 nights. I also wish I could open the glass door in the second bedroom to let fresh air in.
