I want to rent an apartment in Rio near Copacbana for a month or so. Has anyone ever rented an apartment there? I need the name and website of a reliable real estate rental agency whom I can trust to help me find an apartment. If you know of such an agency please reply. Thanks. Janecita

The above links are managers and owners of apartments in Rio, most people rent for the short term, tell them you are interested in long term and see what they can do. The below link among other things has the links to the local newspapers, find the apartment real estate section and find what is good for you.

Hey DonDiega,

Where did you find these websites? I think they have unique services that are much needed in Rio...

Daniel, when I go to Rio I stay in an apartment so during the years I have accumulated these websites and used some of them, they are all legit and I recommend them all including gringomanagement.

Thanks for all the websites. I am in the process of checking them out. Anyone hear of a website, www.vannaroiflats.com? or something like that?

www.vannaroiflats.com yes I know the website and I even know Vanna, she is a Carioca who lived in New York, speaks perfect English and would be able to help you out in many ways while in Rio.
