I'll try to be as objective as possible here, in an effort to be fully transparent.
Casa Cordova is in an awesome location, minutes from everything you want to see or be near in Ft Lauderdale (Las Olas Blvd, Beaches, etc). When we first walked in, we were happy to see that the arrangements were accurate (pool was nice, unit had modern finishes, cold fridge, Smart TV, working A/C).
Unfortunately, our Apartment (Unit 4) was NOT up to standard in terms of cleanliness. Upon a brief inspection of the room - it was obvious that the personnel in charge of cleaning the room prior to our arrival were not on their game. The toilet seat had been used (pee stains) and there was a clump of toilet paper in the bowl. We found multiple spiders in the corner where the 'reading nook' was and woke up to a dead cockroach two days in a row during our stay. There was even a moment where a baby salamander had found its way into our room, smh.
The unit has two windows and the one that faces 15th Street is not sealed. On top of that, it had a ripped mosquito screen (which is where one can only assume is where the bugs are getting through). Construction was going on directly across the street - which was audible and not the ideal way to wake up on vacation. (I understand that's something out of management's control, but worth noting). Also worth mentioning that although parking is free and readily available directly outside -- on a Saturday night we had returned from Miami around midnight and there were no spots available.
Despite a few abhorrent moments throughout our stay, I do want to say that I appreciate Retch's (one of the Lowkl staff) efforts to genuinely help and better accommodate us.
Again, in an effort to be transparent, we had a great time and I would have rated our experience 4 stars, had we not encountered so many issues during our short stay. Unfortunately, this felt like an "one-off time/anomaly" and I felt obligated to pass fair judgement.
