Hotel or Airbnb

[Jawjaw84]

Apologies in advance if the info is already on the site but I think these things change a lot. I am planning a trip to Brazil in a few months. I have been a few times before and always played at the saunas, never hosted guys. I will be in Rio for around a week with a friend, do any hotels easily accept visitors or is Airbnb the best option. 
 

do the airbnbs tend to have security where the guys have to register , should I be asking before booking about the guest policy?
 

we did Colombia last year together in air bnbs and had a great time with no problems 

 

any tips , hints or recommendations much appreciated

I think it is a matter of preferences. I prefer Airbnb, but that is just me. In Brazil, I often have GPs hanging out with me for long hours, being in an hotel room would not offer the variety of activities we can enjoy in a full apartment.

About whether or not you can bring visitors, it depends on the hotel and on the Airbnb rules. When I find an airbnb that I want to rent, before confirming the booking I contact the host and explain that my intention is to hang out with friends during the day (I do not like overnights). So far, I've never had an issue.

Although I do not prefer overnights, many times the guys asked me to stay. I had an issue with that only in my last time in Rio. I rented an airbnb quite similar to an apart hotel, and they had a strict policy about guests leaving before 10PM. However, in my experience this has been the exception and not the rule.

I have been to Rio twice. One time I stayed at the hotel and another time at an Airbnb. The hotel was a complete hassel. Even though I booked a two person room. They kept trying to charge me for guest I would bring back during the day. In fact it was kind of hostile towards me. But I learned my lesson. The second time I got an Airbnb. I with the Airbnb host I explained to them like @Latbear4blk did I have friends that I want to hang out with and cook dinners for. They had no issue with me bringing anyone over. The doormen never gave me any problems. But I introduced myself to them struck up conversations with them even tipped them when they helped me with deliveries during my month stay. They never gave me any push back and funny enough. It also helped that my Airbnb host was gay. But based off of some forum members . You do have to vet the host. Cause some have said you can have people over. Only to reverse what they said. But I would also think that if you have don't have any issues as far as a renter on Airbnb and no negative reviews by hosters. Then its should be less of a problem. But definitely make it know that you will have " old firends" over.

You do not even need to say "old friends" or specify that you would invite them for dinner. Although I used to do that at the beginning, then I cut out those specifications in my messages to the host. What we do with our friends is not their business, as it is not whether or not they are "old". I think what may cause trouble is the staying over night, and not because of moral judgement, but because sometimes their business model is to charge more when more than one person is staying. 

Keeping a friendly relationship with the building staff is an excellent strategy. The one time I had trouble with a neighbor (@floridarob stay away), the doorman was my ally and that helped me a lot with the host.

While I haven't heard of a host putting cameras inside an Airbnb, there are many that place them outside the apartment to see who is coming and if anyone is staying the night. They are supposed to disclose this in their house rules. That only helps if you read the house rules. 

The post above correctly states that hosts often charge based on overnight head counts. At least that's been my experience.

Well @Latbear4blk i do believe like Genuwine said in a song " It ain't none of your friends business what we do tonight." But I feel when you do say I will have friends over. It will set the expectation someone might sleep there because they are to drunk to drive or take a uber home. Which any reasonable person would expect. That's why I am friendly towards the door man. Ask them questions and find out if they have any cheap interest. Because if its a case of beer on my tab. During my stay i can afford that especially if it gives me a heads up or can protect me from Airbnb owners that want to nickel and dime me on anything. But I could say "Hey I am going to have your best, brightest and finest pieces of ass come over to suck my dick and get dicked down and get slurped on at my pleasure in multiple positions. In the suite i am renting." Something tells me that will not go over in a affectionate way. LMAO

Also @Latbear4blk were you talking about that time you were on the balcony and that little old lady got a show. Because I love that story. That is why I will not get a balcony view around other buildings. I would forget in the midst of trying to get the guy out of his clothes.

Damn, I asked @floridarob to stay away and you had to bring that story. I think I need a new identity in this forum.
