I am a Airbnb host for a long time and a very well travelled guest with a world record of bookings and this was my only bad experience a a guest so far. I learnt a lesson to always read all the reviews of the host properly for now on, it will prevent future uncomfortable and upsetting circumstances like this one. Every story has 2 sides, but based on the comments I read from her other guests and as I speak fluently Portuguese and visit Rio twice a year, I feel confident to express my honest opinion about this host and the accommodations she offers on the site. Rio de Janeiro is beautiful, the location of this room is excellent and if you don't know any better, you'd think you got what u paid for. Her prices, although they sound reasonable are out of the reality for the type of place. For 2 ppl more expensive than a hotel next door. I stayed at many good value for money rooms even entire flats around the some area. Martha seems to be a nice lady with a kind nature, but I particularly found her eccentric, opportunist and pushy. Just by the way she sounded on our exchanged msgs I knew I was getting myself in trouble. I then contacted her to cancel my booking, but she was not having it. I felt obliged to stay and luckily it was only for few hours. I assume she treats guests with over needed attention to cover for what she offers and I guess some people find it hard to say anything bad about her or her rooms as I did, when I left. If she things she can get away with squeezing anymore 'dollars' from anyone, she jumps to the chance. None of her rooms listed are like the pictures. The small room can't hardly fit a single bed with no windows. The large one is a mess. The bathroom her guests r supposed to share is a joke. There are no pics of it posted. The kitchen has a lot of clutter. There are 10 other very bad and concerning reviews on her different listing, so I'm not the only one unhappy. A criticism of this kind, should've been taken by her as suggestions for improvements. After all, us host must provide the best we can to keep our visitors happy. My case was efficiently dealt by Airbnb and their support made me feel safe. She has been bullying me non stop since the booking. For me, whatever her arguments are, t's nothing to do with the money, but my rights and the rights of the others who might fall into her trap. Be aware, I do not recommend. Just to remind, the Airbnb Rules: Accommodations on the Airbnb platform should meet minimum quality standards regarding safety, access, and cleanliness, and they should be consistent with the description provided by the Host.
