Yves's place is a delightful old apartment set in a local neighbourhood. The local people are friendly and helpful. A large supermarket is about 10mins walk up the hill. The place is about 20-30 min walk to downtown. We ate locally in a café at lunch with all the local tradies (Up the hill and past the pharmacy). An experience to be remembered. Food cheap with a traditional Portuguese dish of the day and the owners were amazing friendly and helpful.
Would stay again.
