Overall the stay at Fernanda’s apartment is a pleasant one. However, there are certain cons that negatively impacted our trip.
1) the bed / mattress makes A LOT of noise. And I don’t mean a small squeak here or there. But rather enough noise to wake the person next to you up every time you move. Each time you move slightly the bed makes a lot of noise so if you are a semi-sensitive sleeper, beware! The mattress is also uncomfortable and the pillows feel old and worn out.
2) the cleanliness of the apartment can use some work. It is in livable condition, however, given the cleaning fees and price of the apartment, we expected greater cleanliness overall.
3) this is a slightly picky point but the washroom has very limited supplies. For the price point, we would have expected basic items such as shampoo and shower gel. The washroom only comes with hand soap and toilet paper. We have travelled across several Airbnbs and Hotels and have never experienced this.
All in all, the apartment is nice and this overall experience was not bad. The location is also great. But our stay did not deserve the 5 stars for the reasons listed above.
