Hello Everyone,
I�m an English teacher in Rio, and I rent a big old house in a vila between Lapa and Barrio de F�tima. I was sharing the place with another English teacher, but he�s leaving, so I�m looking for another housemate. Any English teachers currently in Rio (or, possibly, arriving very soon) and looking for a place to live are welcome to contact me about sharing this place.
Here are the details: 2-story house, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (+ 1 WC), big front living room, big kitchen, roof terrace where you can get some sun or lie in a hammock in the shade, built-in brick barbecue grill (we�ve hosted a lot of churrascos and parties here), 2 �reas de serv�cio. 2 of the bedrooms are very big with private bathrooms & air conditioning, the other 2 are smaller but still livable.
Located 4 blocks from the Arcos da Lapa (about a 5-minute walk): close, but not too close, to all the noise and craziness of Lapa on the weekends. 10-minute walk to downtown. If you teach classes in companies in the center you can walk to work.
The street is safe; none of the people living in this house has ever had a problem. The vila is totally safe inside because the residents all know each other and watch who is coming and going. It�s off the street, so the only noise we ever hear is from the children playing inside the vila.
Price: R$500 + bills (splitting gas, water, light, phone+internet). No condominium charge like in an apartment building, since it�s a house. Price will be less if more than 2 people are sharing (we�ve had 4 teahcers living together here before). Remember, you�ll pay just as much or more to rent a room in a Brazilian family�s house, with a lot less privacy and freedom to do as you please.
If you�re interested you can call me at (55) (21) 9282-8050 to have a look at the house.
(If you contact me on this forum, it will take longer for me to get back to you.)
Thanks,
Todd |
