Cash jobs (bar work etc.) and short term accomodation

Post new topic

Hey,

I'm heading over to Lisbon from Australia in June for 3 months to do a language course. Just wondering if it's easy to get a cash job like bar work in Lisbon? Thought it would be a good casual job to help learn the language and experience a bit more.

Also, just wondering if Airbnb would be my best bet for finding accomodation for 3 months? Or if anyone knows of a classified type website that has listings that would be awesome.

Cheers

I've never done bar work in Lisbon, but what I know from friends is that it can be fairly competitive.
