You will need accommodation. The area where you stay is not very
important, as the attractions are spread across the island and the roads
are good. Simply staying in the center of Ponta Delgada should be avoided
to save time in peak traffic hours.
To book accommodation, use Booking or Airbnb, but you can also request a
complete package including accommodation, transportation, and a guide,
which will probably be more cost-effective.
