Erasmo was a very friendly host, and even though I don't speak Portuguese, he had enough English to help me with a hair dryer and in the kitchen with the gas hob. It was nice to be in a family, and I enjoyed the local shops and streets. Easy walking distance to the Castel and city centre. Easy to do washing in the machine and put it out on the line in the street. Bit noisy in the street outside at night, people moving rubbish bins perhaps, but I'm not complaining, people have to get on with their business. Thanks Erasmo.
