Fortaleza

Its always been my choice to rent any apartment for short term (2-3days).
I have always done this and always had offers from realtors to get an unoccupied space off their hands. I never have problems requesting short term for a cheap rate.

Sperto, $R50 is very high per night.
I never paid that even in high season.
I pay in the low 20's all time. Maybe high season the rents can demand high 30's but I never pays these exspensive rates.

U r correct about the Italians they have earned themselves a BAD name.
But they are the tourist economy up there.

They R the BIG spending EURO's.
I admit they love hiring the young girls. They really walk the line.

But I will not condemn or critisize them. For they R always buying my beers.

Lucky Liucio. I never meet anybody interested renting out an apartment for 2 days.

If you rent an nice wellfurnished 2-room apartment, from an agency, in a decent edifício in Iracema during high-season, for a short-term stay, they will ask you for at least 50 reais. Renting directly from the proprietor will get you a lower price.

Renting an more simple apartment can get you a rate of 35 reais for a short-term stay in high-season.

A rate of 20 reais is just pure bulls**t.
[QUOTE=Liucio]I pay in the low 20's all time... I paid $18/night for a one bedroom... I paid $US21/per night for the upgrade. [/QUOTE]
You paid 18 reais and 21 US$ more for the upgrade, per night. You call that 20 reais? Get yourself a calculator.

So the Italians are the tourist economy spending the big money in Fortaleza? What about all the Dutch, Swiss, Germans, Scandinavians and the brazilian tourists? They don't spend any money in Fortaleza?

I never rent from an agency. I rent from private ownings. The last 3 yrs, in both high season and low season, I have rented from private owners. I never pay R$50/per thats crazy.

In low season I have paid as little as R$17 for a 1 bedroom 3 minutes away from the beach. Owned by a private owner.

And $R35 is common in high season, not a deal. I don't find $R35, 2 B a deal.
Hell, I can scout out a find cheap nice places.

Your preference is your own I won't argue.

"Dutch, Swiss, Germans, Scandinavians and the brazilian tourists? They don't spend any money in Fortaleza?"

They do but I meet more Itals and Germans everytime I arrive.
Didn't mean to draw a fight on that statement.

I meant $R21 for an upgrade.
R U flame throwing?

Sorry, I did not read your entire post. So I had 2 write again.

"Lucky Liucio. I never meet anybody interested renting out an apartment for 2 days."

I move as often as possible, no I don't park in 1 place in a city for 29 or 30 days. Not my style.

When I return I will send u a pic of te apartmnt I will rent for a budget price.
B patient, Senhor.

I still have luv 4 u

So the question is, where do you find these private owners? Only a couple of times along Av. Beira Mar I was approached be some guys offering "apartamento?" I didn't care about them as I already had a nice place and thought it was cheap enough. Reading your post makes me think again...
On the other hand: let's remember the prices down in Rio, and then we are talking about cheap or even cheaper!

[QUOTE=Liucio]I meant $R21 for an upgrade.[/QUOTE]

OK, you meant R$ 21 for the upgrade. 18 and 21 makes R$ 39. What about the apartments for R$ 20?
Liucio, tell us where to find them.

No flame throwing. I just appreciate correct information. Otherwise there will be a lot of mongers in Fortaleza with pinocchio-noses when they realize they cant find any nice apts for R$ 20.

I understand,
I hand 3 cards that I use that I am currently looking for. They have the names of the owners. A German couple, an Ital. and a Brasilian older genleman that love plants. (many plants in his place).

If you go 3 streets away about 2minutes you can find many small studio or 1 bedroom places. I always get solicited for a cheap place.
I will post when I find them.

I will also take pics when I arrive in 60 days.

By the end of 2003, i rented an apartment, around 35 $ R near Iracema, parking facility, and security.

I used Flatshop, the famouse renting agency. I was very pleased with the apartment (1 bedroom).

Perhaps prices have gone up since then.

I also used Flatshop in 2003. I payed R$ 30. In February I rented an apartment from Flatshop to a friend of mine, R$ 50. Prices have gone up.

Compared to Rio you get much nicer apartments in Fortaleza for a lower cost. If you stay in a 2-room apartment on the 17:th floor with a big balcony, oceanview and a nice breeze, then there is no reason to complain that the rates gone up a little bit.

Also the pro's in Fortaleza are cheap and the non-pro's easy to pick up. Fortaleza is a bargain compared to Rio. There is a nice mixture of girls in Fortaleza, even though I think the girls with the typical Ceará-look looks funny. Short, round heavy bodies, absolutely no neck at all and a big round head on the top.

Don't forget they lack that cup at the bottom of the ass that separates the ass from the hamstring. The ass and leg could all be one. But I enjoy them much better than Cariocas. sad 2 say

Does anyone have some experience with Portuguese language schools in Fortaleza? Any type would be of interest: classes in groups, private lessons, courses at university, etc.
And is there anyone of you mongering in Forta in mid November? I hope I'll be there in week 45.

Hi guys,

I will be in Fortaleza next month. Wiche are the best places in this period?

Thanks

I reccommend Praia Irecema, Praia Biera Mar & Praia do Futuro.
U will find many garotas u will not need 2 look 4 them believe me.

I have been to Praia do Futuro. I spent an entire afternoon there walking the length of the beach. It is awesome! The days I spent there were during the week, but I am sure the week-ends are spectacular. Even on a weekday afternoon, they had the huge stage that they had set-up for a week-end show, operational with a DJ. There are all kinds of garotas on that beach, though most that I saw were part of a couple. At the far end which is less crowded and has smaller bars/restaurants, couples were "romantic" in the water, mostly cuddling and splashing a bit.

It is a great place to take a garota. I am not sure about the degree of success in *finding* a garota there.
