If anyone stayed in a temporada in Rio. How much did you pay per month?

two bedroom arnd 1500 to 2000 usd for one bedroom about 1200usd

Apartments are pricier than I thought they'd be. What's a good site to find and book them?

Any recommended areas? I was thinking of looking for one in Ipanema, but I guess you won't find anything cheap there.

I found someone (American) that rented an apt in Copacobana near Leme for R$1400 for a studio. That's a local price from a landlord. Keep in mind that's not the Ipanema side, but the other side, so the area could be questionable.

I'd just recommend going there, staying a hostel and them finding something.

I found something in Barra (will be doing BJJ there anyway).
