Is the location actually convenient for getting around without a car, and is the neighborhood safe to walk at night?

the metro at Trianon-Masp is literally a two min walk from that hotel & gets u to Liberdade or Pinheiros in like 15 min without touching a car. for late nights the 24h taxi rank by the Masp is handy. one thing nobody mentioned: sundays the avenue closes to cars & turns into a giant bike lane, super chill walk

that sunday bike lane thing is real, they call it Paulista Aberta & it runs roughly 7am to 5pm. also worth knowing the metro there isnt 24h, last trains around midnight so the taxi rank matters more than u'd think

good tip on the bike lane. fwiw the Estanplaza is a block from MASP so u can cut through the museum garden shortcut during the day

also worth noting the bike lane goes past Casa das Rosas so u can rent a bike there and ride toward Ibirapuera

Paulista itself is fine at night, side streets less so

yeah that matches what i've heard, teh side streets get quiet fast. just stick to the avenue after dark and you're prob fine.

agreed, and the block right behind the hotel around Rua Augusta gets sketchy after maybe 10pm, more so than Consolacao side. if you're walking back late just stay on the avenue where it's lit and busy.

true, though the stretch near Alameda Santos feels calmer after dark than the Jardins side

staying at Estanplaza Paulista for a couple weeks & need to work brazil hours plus some overlap with london. is the wifi in the rooms solid enough for calls or should i be hunting for coworking nearby… staying at Estanplaza Paulista for a couple weeks & need to work brazil hours plus some overlap with london. is the wifi in the rooms solid enough for calls or should i be hunting for coworking nearby? also curious how long people usually stick around the city when theyre working remote, seems like everyone i meet is either passing through or here for months

Two weeks is standard; months means they signed a lease.

yeah and the lease crowd skews vila madalena or pinheiros, nobody commits to hotel rates past a month

Honestly the London overlap is the killer, I'd get a coworking day pass near Paulista for the guaranteed bandwidth on call-heavy days.

the 5 hour gap is brutal, so a day pass around vila olimpia or pinheiros might be smarter than staying in the hotel all day. wifi at estanplaza is usually fine for zoom, just shaky on video if the floor is busy. i'd test it first week before committing to a coworking membership
