“My First Stay!”

I wouldn’t rate this as a 4-star property it’s average. First, let me say that hotels in São Paulo are very expensive during the weekdays because of its business travelers, conventions, etc. You can sometimes get good deals at the mainline hotels during the weekends. This apartment hotel was one of the choices provided by my travel agent since we were based and paying for a room in Rio de Janeiro while visiting São Paulo for a couple of days, we didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for our São Paulo room. We had double beds and they were literally inches apart so the room is very small. I thought that the room was reasonably clean until my travel partner dropped something on the floor and noticed how dirty it was under the beds. Free WiFi is spotty and can take a while to log onto. The room had a small kitchenette with microwave, sink and small fridge. The towels aren’t soft and the free breakfast is minimal and isn’t always hot unless you catch it when it comes out of the kitchen. The food that we had for lunch upon arrival was good but it took a long time and we were the only ones there. Rodrigo and Patricia at the Front Desk are very helpful. The neighorhood is quiet and full of nice amenities like restaurants, bars, Dry Cleaners, etc. The gym is nice along with the outdoor pool area. I was told that there are folks who actually live in this apt hotel. A neighborhood gem is Paderia Leiriense which is a fabulous bakery/restaurant and is open 24 hrs. We had the chicken cheeseburger and it melts in your mouth. I look forward to returning to this restaurant. They give you a numbered card upon entry to track your tab and you present it at the cashier to pay your bill. The CPTM commuter train is about a 15 to 20 minute walk from the hotel and the World Trade Center complex is about a 30 minute walk from the hotel. You can ride the Metro & CPTM free if your over 60 years old just present your gov’t issued i.d. with picture and age to the attendants.
