How to find apartments in Rio de Janeiro that are worthy

If you're trying to learn more about high end apartments in Rio de Janeiro. If you are fascinated in hearing about which hotels have hosted famous people. Or if you're only seeking that ocean front view from a penthouse along the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, this article certainly isn't for you.

This article should be prefaced by making the statement that its author is in fact pennyless beyond measure. More accurately, if you're only interested in flats and rentals or other accommodations in Rio de Janeiro, well that most likely means that you're middle class and functioning on some kind of budget. Quite unfortunately, this would indicate the fact that this article is likely also not for you.

This is for the poor bastards that are hanging onto everyday living by their finger nails. The hobo that simply desires to wander and journey about randomly. It's for the pennyless S.O.B. who is on a permanent vacation. Copacabana and Ipanema, is that really where you desire to be? Why do this when you can encounter Brazil using a different lens? Oh who am I kidding, if this article pertains to you it's because you don't have any other choice. You've probably fallen victim to the financial crisis, or at the very least you're utilizing it as an excuse. But anyway, the question remains to be. How do you slum it in Rio de Janeiro?

Almost all flats and rentals will most likely be unrealistic. Hotels and apartments? Forget about it. Not in this lifetime. You're going to have to be a little more resourceful than that to discover the perfect broke bastard hideaway. It helps to speak the local language, but at the conclusion of the day, you simply must find friends in low places. But in addition, you need to enjoy hiking. See in Brazil, some things are in reverse. The poor inhabit the hills and the rich inhabit the valleys. But no worries, there are plenty of motorcycle taxi's available to get you up the hill as well as shorten your lifespan.

So to find accommodations, one good way to start out is funk parties in the heart of the locale favelas, the slums of Brazil and the most fascinating pieces of real estate. You more than likely aren't going to uncover any hotels here and it's not for the average person but most certainly you'll be able to uncover someone, that knows someone who has got an aunt who has got a cousin, that has a closet with a mattress in one of their seedy apartments that you could perhaps refer to as your new home. It won't precisely be a holiday, but it's at least a short term, cramped and leaky room.
