Intern@tional House Hunters: Portugal Edition!
At the school we were taken on a tour and then fed an overwhelming amount of very useful facts that were reasonably difficult to keep from leaking out of brains and into puddles on the linoleum. Of the many tasks they set before us, Mission #1 was finding a place to live. In 4 days. Better yet, 3, so that we have time to bring the Portuguese rental contract to our accommodating office manager. Oh, and by the way, even though you asked for 2 bedroom places we set you up to look at 1 bedroom places... so you'll probably need to contact the agents and reschedule. But you can't do that yet because you have your first meeting in an hour, and you have to check in to the hotel first. Deep breath...
Although it all seemed pretty overwhelming at first, it fell into place fairly quickly, especially with the help of many warm and helpful Portuguese people that we met along the way. As a result, we have a place all set up to go, just 3 days after arriving. Check out the little video I made to document the journey, and vote on which one YOU think we should have chosen!
The video was blocked due to copyright restrictions in my country?! But glad you found a place!

ReplyDeletethe video should now be ready for your enjoyment worldwide! Youtube seems to be exceptionally good at detecting copyrighted songs, which caused some issues, so I just had to make my own soundtrack.
ReplyDelete#1.... its important to be near bus system....and its a beautiful view!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do I watch the video??
ReplyDeleteit's linked through youtube, so you can either click on the screen or follow the link to the site. If that doesn't seem to work, let us know and maybe we can figure out what's going on.
ReplyDelete#1: close to transit, cool landlord (maybe she'll be cool about changing furniture around to open the space up & close quarters make for good, friendly stories & love nests. ;) Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to watch this when voting was still open. I think you went with a great choice. The Rain showerhead (or if you are lucky, "Dinner Plate" showerhead) is awesome. Love the tile, great view, and having an awesome landlord is a great plus. Enjoy your new digs!
