[QUOTE=Ibiza007; 1537971]Excellent reports ABG, obrigado.
I have a question. Last time I was in SP, about 15 months ago. I went to 3 high end private apartments. One in Paulista, one in Mourumbi, and one in Jardim. All were 250-300 for 2 hrs. This seems like a very common operating procedure in SP. The apartments were in very high end buildings, with very simple, but nice interiors, and you had to be met downstairs by the lady. I also went to the clinicas, but it was a long travel from Paulista, where I was staying.
A lot of GPGuia reports in SP refers to these private apartments.
I asked a little bit about how it worked, and none of the three lived there full time. All just worked there, but they were independents, no sharing, no agency. At 300 per meeting, they needed to get 10 appointments a month to pay for the apartment (these apartments were not that nice for 3000 a month, but I guess it works). They all said it could be done in 4-5 days, enough to cover the rent. So, as you can see, with 2-3 appointments per day, for 5. 6 days a week, they were all making some good money in a year, with somewhat control over there schedule and lives, vs. Rio small prives.
Is there much of this in Rio? I never did a lot of the higher end privates in Rio, so I do not know. The hotside. Com. Br apartments I went to in Rio were never super high end. Maybe this is how the Barra game is played. There is almost no info on this board about this segment of Rio.
Anybody have any info on this. I think the high end price of 250-400 is fine, if for two hours, with great results. I went for 300, all 3 times. I picked my ladies from the the GPGuia. Net and all were great, no complaints. I feel this is comparable for the travelers budget to the big Termas in Rio, now about $R250 +, but the 2 hours is a real plus, vs. 40 min to 1 hr. This works budget wise for a 10 day trip, but not a 2 year stay.
Cheers[/QUOTE]Ibiza, you better ask people in the Rio board.
