Shopping
Even if you don't like shopping malls, this is a listed heritage building worth a visit! There are nice cafes (Benjamin) and great ice cream at Bacio di latte. There's a nice bookshop, stationary (Kalunga), an Havaianas store, a drugstore. Check out the tiles!
ATM machines on the 3rd floor.

The fancy shopping street of Sao Paulo. Even if shopping is not your "thing", it's worth visiting the Havaianas concept store there with many stylish flip flops that you can only find there. I promise they will be great and affordable gifts!

Various kinds of products, from antiques to handmade jewelry and art in general. Don’t miss the food area with typical Brazilian food, including “acarajé”, the black-eyed pea kind of dumpling stuffed with dried shrimp, okra (caruru), vatapá (creamy paste made of shrimp, coconut milk, ground peanuts). It’s delicious and very safe eating there!

Avoid the weekends as it can get really packed.

It doesn't look great because it belongs to the City, but there are good fruits and vegetables, fresh coconut water, "pastel" and sugar cane juice ("caldo de cana") sold outside.
Tip: go up to Rua Martins Fontes and turn left at Rua Avanhandava - it's a nice walk.

The Italian chain market is nice and there are 5 restaurants inside. A bit far from the apt, but if you're an explorer, it's an interesting (posh) area.

Be careful while using your smartphone
Be careful while taking pictures or texting with your smartphone anywhere in this town. Unfortunately, this is a very common type of burglary (and theft). The most common is someone on a bike takes your phone while you're talking, typing or taking pics.
