Before choosing a neighbourhood, or a specific house in a neighbourhood, be aware of the traffic in the area during rush hours to see which route suits your needs. You should also try to drive through the neighbourhood at different times of the day to get an idea of the area. If you are coming from Europe, we advise you to choose a location close to Cocody or Angre that is close to the shopping centres.
