How I Found A Great Hostel In Sao Paulo For $50 A Night
How do you find a cheap and safe place to stay in a foreign city where you know no one?
Ahead of my trip to Brazil, I browsed Kayak with a focus on price and location. There are places as cheap as $30 a night, but they involve sharing a room with multiple other travelers without a safe to lock important items. I settled on Pousada e Hostel São Paul, for about $50 per night, because it is within walking distance of the city's main attractions in addition to seeming both friendly and clean.
After a couple of days in the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere, I knew I made the right choice.

Nearby is the municipal soccer stadium - I went to the thrilling championship of the state of São Paulo on Sunday - as well as Avenida Paulista, which is where most of the city's financial and cultural institutions are located.
It's a 10 minute stroll to Rua Apiscuelta, where a lot of hip Paulistas hang out on a stretch of restaurants, bars, lounges.
The Bourbon Shopping Mall, home of the ridiculously priced Apple products, is a bit of a hike but manageable.
Here I am about to head to the streets.
