Hola Jimena, que bueno todo lo que dices de Sao Paulo, te cuento para ver si quizá me puedas ayudar con alguna referencia, yo me iré para Sao Paulo desde enero y no se como puedo conseguir roomates, habitaciones o quizá residencias de estudiantes, yo me iré para hacer practicas profesionales en un rest. y estoy algo preocupada, porque estando lejos es difícil sabes... espero pueda contar con tu respuesta, un SALUDO.
Hola Danitza, que tal? Te recomiendo que busques en facebook grupos de alquiler. Te confeso que por aca no es tan facil conseguir roomates sin conocer a nadie. Pero busca en internet, agencias inmobiliarias y residencias universitarias, que aca se llaman pensões y tienen un estilo medio diferente. Espero haberte ayudado, cualquier cosa, pregutame! Buena suerte
