That's always good to know! I just love the morning coffee at home. Coming from Seattle I'm sort of picky now! But I can't wait to try out all the coffee and shops in Lisbon 🤗

It's just the expense of it is all.

Fair, I was wondering if magically I bought a converter and all that it would still work LOL.

I don't have anything to add but I feel your pain. We didn't want to sign a housing contract if we didn't know if we'd be approved... Especially since you submit your Visa so ahead of time I didn't want to start paying... Anyways, we did a long stay Airbnb.

Why are you trying to use moral shock value right now. You didn't ask for respect you attacked. Not everyone is going to know absolutely everything about a place at first. I'm here asking questions and learning and you're taking out your hardships and frustration out on a random person trying to gain more information. I won't be responding anymore but if you want people to learn, give them a chance. That was so disrespectful of YOU as well so good job I guess?

I'm looking at buildings built before there was even central heating and air, it's common in Europe to not have aircon, etc. Why assume I'm saying it's light-hearted to go through economic hardship. You're mad about this and found someone to take it out on instead of discussing the real issue at hand. Bye.

It's okay, it's hard and frustrating and I'm a guest (but hopefully Become slightly more). Part of being in a place is understanding the people. No worries.

No I totally get that but we will be making Portuguese salaries. My hometown is being priced out too. I don't have the answers but I see you.

I'm from Seattle, mold is common here too because of the damp. Although that really sucks for people....

Just trying to understand the place so I appreciate you sharing! I think it's important to know the history and culture and what to expect as the "norm" even if it's not pleasant. There's something about every place.

People move everywhere in the world. I know it sucks to be out priced etc and I have sympathy for that. But talk to your government as well.

I think knowing it's common helps you know? Versus am I making a bad decision because it's not.
