Ok so I am preparing for my 'Brazilian' escapade in winter and am wondering if anyone has any experience on not paying super rip off prices?
My first stop is Porto Alegre where I plan to do a 5 week Portuguese course. The typical Air b and b price for a studio/1 bedroom place in a non-dangerous area is something like £700-£1100 for a month. Even after bargaining I can't get the price down to even £600.
Maybe I am naive and this is in fact a typical price you can expect to pay for short-term in a Brazilian city that isn't Rio or Sao Paulo, or maybe it is?
I checked out the shared/private room options and the prices are more sensible but there are few offers available and the ones that are have too few reviews...
Does anyone know a good alternative to air b and b for short stay (+/- month) in a Brazilian city?
