I spent 5 days in João’s apartment, I had an amazing time and felt very well.
The evening I arrived, we had a pizza party and rapidly, we went deep in our conversation talking about personal development, coaching, TED conferences, etc. I’m very enthusiastic and passionate about that and I was happy to find someone very interested and receptive.
Then, I worked remotely during 2 days installed comfortably on the table in the kitchen side and sometimes on the sofa in the living room and I was able to enjoy the sunny view at the same time. In Paris, when I work from home, I have another building in front of the window, so I was really aware that I was lucky and privileged to have found João’s place on Airbnb!
The 3 other days, I was off and appreciated to discover Lisboa and benefited from João’s great recommendations like:
- Running along the Tejo (the river) in the direction of the April 25th bridge (Ponte 25 Abril) until the Maat museum, which was breath taking, I couldn’t stop interrupting my run and taking very nice pictures !
- 3 great restaurants nearby (Fauna & Flora, Local and Zappi) where the meals I took were so delicious: avocado toast; 2 half avocados with cooked salmon; salad with eggs, mushrooms, avocado and salmon (saumon fumé). I even took pictures !
For sure, I’ll return when I go back to Lisboa. Also, I’m very grateful having had this experience not only because the setting and the location were perfect but also because of the connection made with João, he has especially such great listening and compassion when you share your challenges.
So, in few words, I really recommend João’s place!
