As long as you don't have a friend come stay for a couple days you should be fine. But if you do and you don't give Blanca a heads up she will lose her mind.
I booked this place for an entire month as it had a good location and great reviews.
The first 17 days went by fine, I was rarely there and didn't make a lot of noise. At this point I had two friends show up to stay for a 3 days. Shortly after this I received a message from AirBnb about having an extra guest stay and I needed to contact the host. I messaged Blanca and said hey sorry I didn't give you a heads up I didn't think it would be a big deal as it's just the weekend.
She immediately became very hostile and confrontational and kept telling me that "communication is key", which is a weird thing to be lectured about by your AirBnb host. She kept saying it in a very dramatic way that seems to be projecting from her personal life. She eventually told me she'd allowed the extra guest for the weekend but it would cost me $150 extra each night for a total add on of $450.
I found this excessive for 2 reasons. First is the rate per day for the whole place for the month came out to $133, so adding on an additional $150 for someone sleeping on the couch seems unreasonable and down right predatory. Second she admitted that the guy above me had an extra guest that got to stay for no charge cause she had been given a heads up.
I honestly didn't think about needing to let he know but I probably should have, however that is no justification for letting someone do it for free and charging me a ridiculous amount. And let's be honest when people book stuff like this extra people stay all the time and no reasonable hosts cares as long as the people are respectful.
Also she first tried to get the money sent to her vial PayPal and then in cash which is a clear violation for AirBnb hosts to do. I told her I wanted it done through AirBnb so there would be a record as I was getting a really uneasy feeling about trusting her.
I did not accept the $150 per day and instead offered what was 1/3 of the daily rate for the extra guest, which seems very reasonable seeing how they has hosts have literally nothing extra they have to do.
After this I got a message from AirBnb saying she'd cancelled the remaining 10 days of my reservation and had to vacate the premises. Keep in mind I'm 3000 miles from home and had to scramble to make more expensive arrangements for the remaining 10 days.
I'm utterly in shock that someone would flip out this way and conduct themselves like an unethical child, truly disgusting behavior.
