Great place to base your adventures on Sao Miguel.
Pros:

This was a great place overlooking the harbor. The apartment was roomy, clean and well kept. It is on the main road on the waterfront, but surprisingly quite inside. The beds were comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful with anything I needed, including helping me book time at the hot springs. They have a limited amount of private parking available, so make sure you request it before hand, but there is a parking garage nearby if necessary. When checking in, you can park directly in front (in the taxi lane) until you get situated. The kitchen is well equipped, and there is a grocery store and restaurants right next door. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing
