Apartments for rent in Rio de Janeiro

I have rented apartments in Rio de Janeiro for the last 7 years. I started back in 2001 when I was living in Seattle, Wa. My mother in law, who lives in Rio de Janeiro, had a couple of apartments sitting idle and I decided to put one of them on Ebay for a one week rent. I rented it out a couple of times using this method and soon realized that I should create a website and place them online. I started getting more and more traffic and requests and soon realized I should make a business out of it.

We moved to Rio de Janeiro in August of 2002 and I officially went into the business of renting apartments. I was one of a handful of rental agencies back then that catered to vacation travelers and businessmen. I started out with a website called http://www.spectralight.net/ and soon saw myself at the top of google.com. As the years passed, I decided to diversify and bought the domain http://www.apartmentsinrio.com/. While numbering well over 150 apartments, even then, I was still being bombarded with requests from local owners to put their apartments online. Since I found that consolidating servers was more economical (and easier to manage) I obtained a new domain with http://www.riovacationrentals.com/ and now have over 250 apartments registered.

Now I am faced with five or ten times the competition as when I first started, it is easy for just about anyone to create a website and put an apartment online. I guess what singles me out from the rest of the competition is the length of time I have been doing it, and the insight that I have from years of experience of living and working in Rio de Janeiro. I can be contacted for anything concerning Rio, whether it is renting or buying apartments, or knowing which restaurant has the best deal on sushi. I have a passion for all things Rio, let me help you figure out what is worth the time and money
