This is a good value airbnb, good if you're looking for a cheap option in a nicely located and non touristy neighbourhood. Good communication and very easy self check in. The room was clean and comfortable, if a bit small (but okay for us as we were out all day!), and it was great to have access to a private bathroom. We also appreciated having access to the communal kitchen, which was overall clean and well equipped. Just beware that it is a 'young' apartment with a shared house vibe, and you do hear the other guests coming in and out, going to the bathroom, etc etc; and sometimes, when a few of us overlapped in the kitchen, it could feel a little crowded (but everyone was nice, tidy and respectful). The entrance of the building looks like it's straight out of the 1950s - it could do with new lightbulbs and a slightly less dim feeling - female solo travellers might not find it super comfortable if coming back at night alone. But overall, the neighbourhood is very safe and we loved being in Penha de Franca, and would come back happily.
