Wow, how incredibly lucky I was to find Carla's place. First, Carla offers to pick me up at the airport which I gratefully accepted, but then my luggage was lost and at the Lisbon airport it took 2 additional hours to file a claim. Would you believe Carla's father, Viktor waited the additional 2 hours even after I told him to go home! Above and beyond and not asked for but graciously received. When driving back, Viktor offered to stop to eat as well! I didn't want to eat and to my surprise Carla had a protein shake, a banana and a nice snack for me waiting for me! I was pleasantly surprised. Throughout the duration of my stay, I had many little things come up and Carla was always available to help, even took me to the gym and helped troubleshoot figuring out how to convert my US plugs to EU plugs so I could power my computer equipment. It just felt like I was visiting family and for that I am grateful. Thank you Carla and Viktor from the bottom of my heart and can't wait to visit Lisbon again.
