The Lisbon Nest hosts have written a fabulous guidebook -- in English -- waiting for you on the kitchen table.
It has a
guide to dozens of locals’ restaurants within walking distance of Lisbon Nest.
It also
suggests dozens of day trips -- Sintra, Mafra, Cascais -- and gives good
details on how to get there.
It has a
rundown of monuments and museums in Lisbon and tips on the easy to use and
inexpensive transit system.

For drying clothes, Lisbon Nest has a clothesline out the window -- that's what the natives use.
The living
room has a flat screen TV and a couch that's plenty big for a person to sleep
on.
There's also
a small writing desk when you enter.

Lisbon Nest is in Graca.
Graca is
central, but not in the noisy tourist areas.
It's the
best of both worlds -- fabulous restaurants, things to do, historic tram plus
major bus routes -- but you can live like a Lisboan, not a tourist.
The
apartment has a modern kitchen with a small fridge, stove top, oven,
dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, microwave and best of all -- a clothes
washing machine that spins clothes dry.

Lisbon Nest is an apartment.
Most
everyone else in the building lives there year-round.
By European
standards, it is big enough for 2 adults and one child.
The bed is super comfortable and the surrounding units and part of the neighborhood are super quiet and tranquil.

This was my the second time staying with the Nest property.
The same
couple manage several vacation homes in the Graca area.
They have
the same fabulous person clean the unit to spotlessness, meet you with the key,
show you how appliances work, bring over extra sheets or coffee, etc.
UNIVERSAL DESIGN ON THE INCLUSIVE DESIGNERS PODCAST
I appear
with friend/colleague Meg O'Connell of Global Disability Inclusion.
I am your
go-to subconsultant for all planning projects aimed at creating a better built
environment for people with disabilities.
HINT: With
the CDC documenting that 1 in 4 of us will experience some kind of disability
that impacts our daily lives -- and the UN counting well more than 1 billion
people with disabilities on the planet...EVERY project must include Universal
Design.
