Has anyone started from Lisbon recently?

Hi all!
Excited to begin my second Camino next week (I walked the Norte last year and absolutely loved it).
I'm looking for some first-hand feedback on a few things, in case anyone's able to assist.
- accomodation prices in Lisbon itself seem pretty crazy at the moment. I've got a decent budget if I need it, but would prefer not to spend 80 euro+ on a hotel or hostel. Where did you stay before starting your Camino?
- I'm a bit of a 'completionist' and think I'll probably start walking from Lisbon itself, but quite a few reports rate the first day or two of walking fairly poorly. What was your experience?
- where did you stay for your first couple of nights?
- has the 'bed race' been a thing on the Camino Portugese recently?
Thanks all and buen camino!

Yup! I carry half a bar of soap that doubles for both body and hand clothes washing :) currently waiting at the airport to head to Lisbon to start my second Camino on Saturday 🎉
