Know of Accommodations for Festival?

I am still hearing from students looking for a room. If you have a room or are looking for a roommate, please let me know so that I can try to connect you.

meredw AT Hotmail.com if you don't have my personal email.

The Festival Accommodations page says that places are still available, but that was on Sept 10.

Thank you.

Rooms Available Before Festival

I know of 2 people who have rooms:
* Lisbon female dorm for Tues & Wed night, Oct 22 & 23
* Cascais apartment with 5 other roommates Oct 22-25

Let me know if you're interested and I will connect you.
If you don't know my personal email, you can reach me at meredw AT Hotmail.com

Lisbon Hotels

If you are sightseeing in Lisbon before or after Festival, or you want a hotel near the airport because you have an early flight out, when the Festival shuttles aren't running, here are some places Sangha have booked:

Central Lisbon

• Grande Pensao Residencial Alcobia
• Independente, which is both a hostel and a hotel

Airport

• Holiday Inn Express - doesn't have a shuttle, but is 1 mile so taxi affordable. Note that taxi scams are common, especially for the airport, and that one of the ways to prevent being overcharged is to know the direct route, so here's a map showing the trip from this hotel to the airport. For more about taxi scams, see the post Transportation from Lisbon to Cascais.

If you have an early-morning flight, another option is to book an airport shuttle from your accommodations in Cascais; for more information, see the post Transportation from Lisbon to Cascais.
By the way, there is more transportation info here.
For example, if you are staying in Lisbon but traveling to or from the airport at a reasonable hour, take the Aerobus.

Note for those who are getting these posts via email: I am hoping that others who book Lisbon hotels will send me info about where they're staying, so that I can add them to this site. Which means you will have to check here for updates. (Unlike a regular website, with a blog I'd normally make a new post for new info and give it the same label, but that seems unwieldy for this scenario.)

If you don't have my personal email, you can reach me at meredw AT Hotmail.

Know Anyone Needing a Room at Festival?

I know of a couple of openings. Contact me.

Likewise if you have a room and are looking for a roommate. I will try to facilitate the connection.
