The studio was large and clean, we liked the security screens on the patio door and window so we could leave them open and get fresh air. the only problem was there was a smoker in a lower room and we could smell smoke when they lit one up on their patio

Pros: large unit with outdoor area. 2 TVs. All the necessary for cooking. Pool area is relaxing and beautiful. Lots of space to park. Staff is super friendly and helpful and their pets are the best! Easy walk to Lagoon area and minutes away from the Esplanade. Super quiet - didn’t hear any noise from outside, hallway, or other units. Cons: Dated unit. AC wasn’t the best, so the room smelled damp. Staff office hours are hit or miss.

Disliked: Amenities
No staff available 24 hours. No change of bedding or towels like hotels. Very old building and there were open spaces on the wooden floor. For a week stay we then have to buy soap. No other stuff available like shower lotions shampoo, cream . They asked to use the laundry with payment. Probably this place is for monthly stays not for holidays for tourists.

The property is a nice place to stay for those who don't want to spend a fortune on accommodation. You are looking at a three block walk to the heart of the Esplanade. The appartment was good, and allows you to cook (as food on Esplanade is very pricey). I would like to see a little portable stove in the kitchen to allow you to bake things. The only frustrating thing about my stay was the television. It would suddenly lose picture after 2 or 3 hours! The pool is nice and deep, and the garden offers shade and privacy.

Awesome location, generous size room. Also, didn’t really appreciate the strict rules about taking your own rubbish downstairs at the end of the stay. It’s fine that there was no cleaning during stay but couldn’t the person cleaning the room at the end of the stay put the rubbish out? Overall I though the room was good value for money - except the bathroom was not just mouldy (the tile and shower floor and walls) but there was a strange “vacuum” created when in shower stall itself which resulted in the shower curtain being sucked toward you and against your body. I tried leaving the bathroom door open, closed, fan on, fan off - nothing worked. This could have been resolved with a proper, heavier, shower curtain and not just a flimsy nylon liner. Again, good value for money, just be aware of tiny mouldy bathroom.
