I visited appartements in Lumiar too it’s more spacious. Alfama is cute but too busy (outside of COVID crisis) I found the price they asked you was a lot. At the moment because of the Air BnB crisis there are lots to rent. I personally got out of Lisbon as I found it too pricey. We used Idealista a lot to see what they have. Energy Performance !! So true. Thanks for sharing your experience.
After having lived in El Salvador, C.A., seeing how my friends who are from or live in Europe live, and finally after renting a tiny house while traveling, I realized how little space I need! I would likely get a one bedroom that has an alcove area so I can set up an office, and that's it! Probably no larger than 60sm (645 sf). I will make that work!
Estefania is center do you Rely need to bee in the Center, you need to chek Alges, Paco de Arcos on the left = Moscavide, Vila Franca, Azambuja, Almada, Montijo, Setubal it's your money all the best.
I live in Portugal for over 10 years,all the video I see they try to rob you Over price,just because they see you don’t speak Portuguese And they presume you got money because u come from us,so be careful and try to meet people ho live in Portugal for long time ho can help you Good like Portugal is nice place to live and u Definitely u going to enjoy so much…
We just discovered you and watched several of your videos. Thank you. You do a great job, very informative and helpful. We plan on coming to Portugal (if the ban on American travelers is lifted) in January for 3 weeks to look at places to live. Our goal is to move there next October-ish, hopefully. We will be looking at Cascais and now the Carcavelos area.
Great video as always! I noticed you mentioned you had lived in CaisCais; aside from the thin walls , why did you leave that area? I have my eye on it for next year and want to make sure it’s ok ( I’m in my 50s, and wanted something not as busy as Lisbon? ?
Though not always the case, in Europe landlords sometimes do ask for a 6-12 month deposit. They usually require this from foreigners especially if you’re self employed. Today this practice is not so common. In the France the law changed a few years ago whereby a renter only needs to pay one month rent, one month or two security and one month to the rental agent if you used that service. In Germany the renter must pay a 3 month security deposit plus first month rent. Prior to 2016 in Germany the renter had to pay the rental agent’s (Makler) fee, which was two times the monthly rent in addition to the security deposit & first month’s rent. In 2016 the law was passed that the landlord now pays to Makler fee. However if you’re gainfully employed and you have a good relationship with your bank the bank will put up the security deposit. I’ve lived in both France and Germany and now I’m in Lisbon.
You have been so informative in your videos. I appreciate you taking time to upload these as I contemplate getting a place in Portugal. Thank you so much!😊 You have been helpful👍
Loved the detailed information, but seeing the size and price comparison of the apartments, furnished vs. unfurnished, I agree that the up-front costs for the unfurnished place was crazy, but have you been furniture shopping there? Are the prices equally crazy? If I move there I would be selling up everything in the US as well.
Thank you for all your tips!
I wish you would had included the apartment link you mentioned in your video but thank you it’s was a good collection of choices and information
Thank you

As a black American you put your life on the line in foreign countries. Plus they hate chocolate.
Have you already exchanged your US drivers license for the Portuguese one? If so, how did you get your licence authentication certificate? Thank you

Hola, you're a day trader? can you help me buy a stock please?
Nice. Did you find a place that you love?
avoid the number 2 apartment (Alfama), lol. Alfama is being gentrified into AirBnbs. completely changing the face of the neighborhood

Hell expensive, these prices are way more than the average salary in Portugal

Are the rents negotiable, or is that considered …rude?
Very helpful indeed! Thank you!
I've always wanted to go to Portugal. I heard it was beautiful from someone who went there that I really trust (may he RIP).
When you say that other people "out bid" you, does that mean that they offered to pay more money for a deposit or more money each month?
I see these are mostly apartments in buildings. Is one able to rent a single family home in Lisbon?
Hey! I'm moving there next Wed. Could you please tell me if there is another way to find a 2.2 apartment that might night be on Idealista? Thanks!!
14000 up front???? Is that common????
Omg this first apartment 😍😍😍😍😍
