hi,

i am a new delhi-based indian sports journalist. i will be in rio from august 3 to august 22 to cover the olympic games. i will be grateful if someone could suggest a reasonable hotel/guest house near olympic park in barra. i need to be close to the main press centre which is near olympic park. i would need air conditioning and fast speed internet connectivity in the room.

thanks

OLX is good if you speak portuguese and you are already living in Brazil. But your risk that the flat owner at the last minute rent his place to another person. Prices will go so high, don't expect that people will secure the offer.
Try a very famous and international website renting bnb...you know what I mean. This would be much more secure.
In all the cases, you won't find good deal during Olympics.

Get a tent, no one will gazump you
and just stick it any where
or find a squat, there's plenty in Rio I would say at the moment
but I bet the Squatters stick the ground rent up
Up the works
