Hi all! I just graduated with my masters, and am moving to Sao Paulo for a year-long fellowship. I've done research in Brazil before, but am not familiar with Sao Paulo at all. I found what seems to be an amazing deal for a one-bedroom flat in Butantã but am not sure about the neighborhood. Do any of you have any experience with the neighborhood? Is it safe? Is it convenient (to the center and Pinheiros?) The proximity to USP is definitely a plus, but if any of you could shed any light on any of the other things to consider, that would be much appreciated! Abraços!
