This was my first experience with waiting a private room. I did choose the place based on the previous reviews. Before renting the room I send a message to the host Marcia, asking if going to be any problem my bf sleeping in the room. I have been told that I should pay extra 25R$ every night he stays to sleep. Terms in witch I agree.
Before the check in I have been given a number to a guy called Silvinho, who will be in the apartment for check in.
In about a week was clear that Silvnho was the guy who actually undertake the hosting ditties.
Once he was cleaning the floor of the kitchen and he told me that he is helping us (me and the other guy renting the second room), but this is one off. I found this strange as I already paid a cleaning fee and I wasn't expecting to clean the common areas.
One morning my boyfriend come for an hour to drop some laundry and Silvinho explain that I have to pay 25 every day he enter the door. Explanation was that my bf can rest in the room for couple of hours so it's normal for him to charge me. Even for Brazilians I found this quite too much. When I refuse he told me that my bf isn't allowed in the apartment any more.
I spoked to Marcia and asked her to sort out the issue as our agreement was different and I didn't understand why this guy is doing such things. 2 night I didn't use the property as the situation wasn't sorted. When I call Marcia I was assure that all going to be ok.
Same night I returned to the flat with my bf and Silvinho give me very unpleasant look. Then in the morning I open the fridge and the area delicates to me was rearranged and my shopping was all over the place.
I did told the guy that it's unacceptable to touch anyone staff from where I come from, but he explain that he need the space so he clean it. He hide the coffee maker so I can't use. He didn't put a toilet paper in the toilet and I asked prior if I have to buy myself but I have been told no.
In the length of my stay I have never seen Marcia in the apartment. When spoked to Airbnb I explain how unacceptable is to rent out flats when the actual host isn't there and he delicate his ditties to someone in my opinion not capable of interception with people.
I was booked the room for another 9 night but I have to pack my staff and go. Living there was not an option and was the worst experience ever.
