For good apartments at affordable prices, Roomgo and Airbnb are the ideal places to begin your search. If you want to live luxuriously near the famous beaches, Where in Rio and Rio de Janeiro Flat Rental will help you find a suitable place to live.
Where in Rio
Site for upscale apartments in most popular neighborhoods in Rio. Here you'll find some of the best real estate in the city at higher prices.
Rio de Janeiro Flat Rental
Fully-furnished apartments available in Ipanema, Copacabana and Arpoador at prices on the higher end of the scale. Excellent locations and site catered specifically to expats and short-term visitors.
Housing Anywhere
Great site containing hundreds of ads for apartments and rooms across the city, not only necessarily in the luxury parts of Zona Sul. Affordable prices and direct rents with landlords available. Pay in BRL!
Imovel Web
Great comparison site for rental properties meant for long-term stays. You won't find any of the luxury apartments of Ipanema and Copacabana here, but certainly more accurate prices for unfurnished apartments available across the city.
Zap Imoveis
Good site for unfurnished, long-term rental properties available in all parts of Rio. Good to get a sense of the market prices in different areas, and ideal for remote workers looking to settle for many months.
Roomgo
Highly recommended as a starting point for your search and for all remote workers looking for affordable accommodation. Roomgo is akin to an Airbnb dedicated only to cities in Brazil and will offer you apartments, houses and rooms in shared houses for a more authentic experience. The site is in Portuguese and you may find a translator useful in communicating with users.
Airbnb
Invaluable resource for all short-term visitors and remote workers, Airbnb is a great place to compare and find apartments across the entire city. Always try and speak directly with Hosts as they may be willing to offer discounts on longer stays!
Aluguel Apartmento
This huge group has furnished apartments in central neighborhoods, often for lower prices than if you went with an agency as they are typically offered by landlords directly.
