The location of Evans studio is excellent and it is very close to a huge amount of shopping and dining and only one block from the beach. The location is what makes this listing. We are removing two stars to give this listing three stars due to:
The air con was extremely noisy and ineffective for august summer heat, causing us to wake up several times per night sweating. This is in comparison to the many Asian countries we have visited where air con is essential. Also the curtains covering the windows and ranch slider have some some of the curtain backing missing to block out light. The curtains are rather ineffective as well. Guests should be aware that a large hotel is opposite the studio unit which has flood lighting on their hotel pool and every floor, on all night long and thus Evans curtains do not block out the vast lighting coming through from this hotel. The studio room is very light at night. This studio unit also has rubbish trucks who start their daily collection at 6-7am every morning, which is extremely noisy, due to the carpark/alleyway below the studio balcony. Lastly, we found the unit to be clean but the bathroom floor was pretty dirty and dusty, just had not obviously been cleaned for months. Evan also likes to leave laminated notes around his studio unit, reminding guests to do this or that and we had several reminders about the charges for soiled sheets and soiled towels, which we found annoying, especially since he only supplies one towel and one hand towel each and nothing to actually dry the kitchen dishes with. Overall, future guests should decide if insufficient air con and curtains is something they would be willing to put up with in order to save some money each night.
Had we have known, out answer would have been no thank you.
