What are the apartment rent costs in Rio de Janeiro?

We would like to go to Rio de Janeiro during the carnival this year and really enjoy ourselves and soak up the atmosphere and the great vibes. During the stay I think that it would be best if we were to rent a private apartment. Does anyone here know how much that might cost? Thanks for your help.

During the actual carnival the prices are definitely sure to go sky high all of a sudden. How long are you planning to stay there? And do you want to stay exactly in the centre, or are you happy to go to the suburbs as well? Depending on these factors your cost will vary. But I would be very surprised if you would find anything for €300 for the week.

Of course, carnival is something unusual and interesting, but still why don't we travel this country the other time, when the prices are lower and there are not so many people. Just enjoy the nature of this country and this you can do in some other season.
