I was not welcomed by the host so I never got to meet her. The key was left with the doorman. The place was very small and not fit for long term stay. I had problems from the start, there was no pans or utensils but just a bare minimum. I asked for more things and the host provided some stuff but I did ask for these things to be there and was assured there was everything at the place. I had to buy a bottle opener. The counter top was very sticky the vanish used was wrong. The worktop itself was coming away from the wall. I told the host about this but it was not fixed, instead she got the cleaner to prop it up with a chair and towels so I could not use the cooking facility from then on it was out of action. I done an all inclusive price but the host still asked me to pay extra on top of this to the maid. I was not happy about this but the host threatened me to leave the place if I did not pay so I paid 200 real in cash to the maid just to get the host off my back. The air-conditioner was not working properly and dripped water on to the floor. The host kept on harassing me on whatsap about the things that was a fault of her bedsit that in my opinion is not fit for purpose for a long stay and the host agreed this in a conversation to me. A couple of glasses were broken and I was constantly harassed to pay 80 real for this but I refused to pay because I thought the host was just trying to get more money out of me. After all I did pay the cleaner outside of airbnb that I believe I should not have but did it just to get her off my back so a couple of glasses I thought was no big deal. I have lots of whatsap conversation with the host that I have saved if airbnb would like a copy I can send. I came to Brazil for a holiday not to unnecessarily talk to the host and be stressed throughout my stay because of her faulty place. On the last day I had enough, the cleaner never arrived and I decided to spend that night in a hotel because there were lots of flies in the bathroom and the cleaner did not turn up for over a week even though I paid. Even then when I told the host I have left the bedsit and decided to stay in a hotel for the last night because of the situation she was not sympathetic at all, instead she decided to harass me for hours about the broken glasses. So overall my first airbnb experience was a bit of a nightmare. I would not recommend this place and hope never to hear from this host...
