Finding a place to rent in Rio!

By now, it is clear that the most cost/effective way to stay in Rio is rent an apartment!

The question about where to rent it, was also already addressed. Again, my advice is Botafogo, the nearest to the subway. There you will have great views of the beach, like the following.




But we haven't said a word about how you will find this perfect place. Sure that you can always ask me for any great deal through this blog or at studio.in.rio@gmail.com .

However, you can help yourself and look on line at many different specialized web sites. Simply googleling "rent in rio" shows more than 9.000.000 options in 0,39 seconds!!!! There are so many options that you might get lost! For you not to get lost, I am writing this post.

Today I found out a particularly interesting rental site. That is: www.vacationsrj.com. The particular interest: it is made by Rio's people for mainly local tourists. Why is that of particular interest? Easy easy, prices are much better!!!!

A drawback, however, is that international fellows might find some difficulties understanding what is being offered in each case. The URL sent above is a translated version of the original site (which is found at: www.temporadarj.com. In the english version, the site is all in english :)! Anyway, most of the information posted in the rent offers is in portuguese. In any case, you most check it out. Indeed, it is always a great idea to learn a bit of the language spoken at country you are going to.

If you are more interested, the same people that keep this site also have a blog (in portuguese) high-lighting Rio's qualities. You will find the blog at: www.diariodorio.com.
