Does anyone know of affordable student apartments in Rio?

Question

I'm an American university student and I'll be spending a month in Brazil. I have found a few nice-looking hostels but does anyone know of apartments that I could rent in Ipanema, Leblon or Leme? I'm on a tight student budget so I don't need penthouses or apartments with pools!! It will be myself and my best friend going on the trip so a studio or one-bedroom will do. Any help would be maravilhosa!

Answer 1

Ipanema and Leblon is so expensive.

Copacabana and Leme have a better price.

See some hotels:

Answer 2

I´m from rio and I would suggest you to rent an kitchenet in copacabana. It´s good enough for 3 people and the price is fair, about 1000 reais, which is 600 usdollars.

You can find them just by walking in the streets in copa.

Answer 3
