Hotel Unique, Sao Paulo, Brazil

Advantages: BEAUTIFUL,, FRIENDLY, CHEAP
Disadvantages: SOMETIMES CRAMPT..

...I am Brazilian so I am sorry if this short piece about Brazil is a little biased. I am writing it to say that Brazil is a really, really great country.

You can pick up taxis from the many recognised taxi ranks around Brazilian cities. If using a roving taxi, check first that the driver... Read review
