I was in Porto and used a laundry service to clean my clothes. They also ironed and folded my clothes. It was so inexpensive! It was a time saver! I highly recommend it!
Hey guys, sorry I missed the live. We are just leaving lisbon today from our short scouting trip. We really enjoyed the Belém and Lumiar neighborhoods. But who knows we may be back to see more.
YES! As soon as I iron out a few more details we will do that in the FIRE over 50 FB group. It looks like Black in Portugal wants to partner with us so this should be FUN!
Great job! I have been looking at your videos from the beginning and I have since subscribed. I am thinking about visiting Portugal sometime soon, probably around the end of March. I was there in 2019 and did a world wind tour from Lisbon to Porto in 10 days and slept in 9 hotels. The pace of the trip was insane, and so I wanted to get back there and see the country on my own schedule. I have aged three birthdays since the last time I have taken a trip. My confidence as a solo traveller is not as it was before. My dream was to spend three months a year in Portugal to escape the Canadian winter. I am not a Airbnb person, I have never stayed in one.
I and we have been using Airbnb's since 2016. When we travel we want to try and immerse ourselves into what it might feel like to live there. Before that we used a lot of Bed and Breakfasts. Then there's the fact that I am cheap as ... I want the luxury of a hotel suite without paying $300+ per night. Of course there's usually no maid service but some Airbnb's come with that as well. If you're insecure about staying in an apartment owned by an individual there are corporate owned airbnb's and look for the ones that say they are licensed by the local govt. Most govts. these days (because of hotel lobbyist and safety concerns) require Airbnb hosts to have a hospitality license.
Had to watch this video AGAIN before I book my ABNB for the 2024 meet up. I was having a good time in the chat a year ago.😆😆 Great info. Between the summer pricing and inflation, prices are up. I’ll see y’all there though.😬
Wow! I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your great content. I learned so much from this video. I’m definitely going to follow you guys and looking out for what to do on my next trip later this year to Portugal. Also, I’ll check out your facebook group soon. Thanks again! 😊🙏🏼🙏🙏🏾

2 minutes in and this is great. thank you. heading to Lisbon for first time in July with my 20 year old son. Look forward to the rest of the video. From other videos we're thinking Chiado, Alfama or Mouraria. Hotel or Air B&B. Maybe hotel Memmo Principe Real. We are there Friday thru Tues.
Hey Erik, thank you for watching. For four days - I would probably prefer the ease of a hotel. They can keep you luggage, etc. Lisbon is not physically big, so even if you stay in Saldanha or Arroios (quieter areas more US-like hotels) you will be a 10 min metro ride to the tourist stops of Rossio, Baixa Chiado, and Cais do Sodré. You can walk to the historic areas of Alfama and Graça from tourist areas near the water.
I'm not interested in visiting Portugal, but I do enjoy looking at apartments in various countries. Great job taking us on a journey and sharing costs. Thanks for the tips! I would have definitely missed a lot of those space issues.
We r planning to come to Portugal in June. We found an Airbnb in Caxias. Do u know anything about that area? Description says 7 min walk to train, 8 min walk to beach? Enjoyed your video 👍🏽
@@OurBlackUtopia Thanks. We were planning to go to Lisbon from June 9 to 19 😥 so we may miss your meet up. If I can’t extend to the 21 to leave due to work, maybe we will see u guys at one of the BIP events?
Hey T, the interesting thing is, that regardless of whether you're in a predominately Black neighborhood or not - we blend because we're everywhere. Lisbon is the biggest little city that we've been to. With that said, we tend to be across the river in and passed Almada, out by Amadora and near the airport. 😉
Hey guys! Thanks for another great video. Quick question (early in the video before I forget!), how can one tell if it's a personally-owned space vs. corporate-owned? I like the idea of supporting the local residents vs. corporate. TIA
Often times you can tell by seeing if that host is hosting other properties. 😉. 1 or 2 properties okay but many - probably not. Also, "executive-stay" hotels are often listed on Airbnb - that's an obvious one. Thanks for watching!

Oh wow! Might have to do that at least in the winter with so much rain... Thanks for the tip and for your continued support 🥰
Hey guys, sorry I missed the live. We are just leaving lisbon today from our short scouting trip. We really enjoyed the Belém and Lumiar neighborhoods. But who knows we may be back to see more.
Belém is so cool. So did the scouting trip answer your questions?
@@OurBlackUtopia Yes, we are looking for places to move to around March/April time frame. I will let you know how it went.
Another fun, informative chat. We need a “Let’s talk about the meet up” chat soon.
Thanks for this info. Im ready to book for the meet up!! 👍🏾
YES! As soon as I iron out a few more details we will do that in the FIRE over 50 FB group. It looks like Black in Portugal wants to partner with us so this should be FUN!
@@OurBlackUtopia Sounds great!!
👋🏻Love this! Very helpful❤️💫
Ohh Thank you - I think we should've broken this up into too videos but we're trying to get the hang of short subjects. 🧐
Great job!

I am not a Airbnb person, I have never stayed in one.
Try house sitting or stay at a lovely boutique hotel.
I like that hotels have 24 hour surveillance and onsite security . I think, the US Airbnb concept is totally different than other countries.

🥰 - Hey Rui - Thank you always for watching and your continued encouragement. We've got 10 Portuguese lessons under our belt 😳

You're so welcome, Kwame. Are you planning just for a visit or a scouting trip for a possible relocation? 😉
@@OurBlackUtopia scouting trip for relocation. I was there last year for my birthday and loved being there
🥳 Very cool! Here are two more resources that might help.

@@OurBlackUtopia Great… thank you
Thanks guys, this is what I was looking for. My wife and I are planning to visit in '24 to scout Portugal.
Perfecto - don't forget to download the map that I created.

Our pleasure! - those little tricks would be true for any Airbnb, right? 😉
Thanks for the recommendations 👍🏽
You're so welcome! When are you coming to town?
We r planning to come to Portugal in June. We found an Airbnb in Caxias. Do u know anything about that area? Description says 7 min walk to train, 8 min walk to beach? Enjoyed your video 👍🏽
Fantastic. Caxias is a suburb of Lisbon about 15-20 minutes outside of the city by train. We're having a meetup June 20; stay tuned for details.
@@OurBlackUtopia Thanks. We were planning to go to Lisbon from June 9 to 19 😥 so we may miss your meet up. If I can’t extend to the 21 to leave due to work, maybe we will see u guys at one of the BIP events?
to keep you apprised....12 mass shootings since beginning of year. USA ;-( happy new year you two !!!!
Oh B. Pe - it's absolutely heartbreaking. (you can create a an anonymous FB profile, just to be in the OBU group...)
I don’t see this pricing on my end..did the rates jump already??
When are you coming?
@@OurBlackUtopia I’m doing my scouting trip Feb and planning to move in May. Everything in May for 30 days is very high 🫤
Which are Portuguese Black neighborhoods?
Hey T, the interesting thing is, that regardless of whether you're in a predominately Black neighborhood or not - we blend because we're everywhere. Lisbon is the biggest little city that we've been to.
With that said, we tend to be across the river in and passed Almada, out by Amadora and near the airport. 😉
Hi H & R, missed you guys. Happy New Year, I’m watching replays and getting caught up.
Info so very helpful.
Thank you (Tamiko) 🤎🙏🏽
Happy new year!! Hope you had a relaxing holiday 🧘🏾♀️
