  : The views to the marina are the best thing about this place. Location is great and convenient: 10 min by foot to the beach (white sand, clear water etc), 3 mins to tram, 5 mins to ferry, 10 min to Dubai Marina Mall, supermarket underground, parking underground. Plenty of areas to walk around the marina. Beautiful building next to intercontinental. Clean, kitchen well equipped, comfortable bedroom, 2 bathrooms, balcony, pool downstairs, gym on the last floor (49). About key collection: we received instructions by WhatsApp the day before and all went well. Theres 24h reception for the building (flat is private). We were 2 couples with a baby from Germany/ Romania
  : About prepayment: it would be useful to have more info on booking.com about how to make the prepayment when paying through booking is not possible. The agent came to our flat the second day and we sorted it out, but several calls and message exchanges were needed. Air con: even if you switch it off, a cold draft is still on in the living room. So if you are 4 people and use the sofa as a bed, bring warmer clothes. Sofa mattress for sleeping: it is quite dirty. This matters only if you are 3-4 people are use the sofa to sleep on. If you are a couple you will be using the excellent double bed in the bedroom. Extra toiletries: some extra towels would have been nice. There was 1 per person/ week. You can wash them (theres washing machine, just buy your washing powder :)) Extra toilet paper - we bought ourselves. Maybe consider providing kitchen towels, sponge, washing liquid? The balcony door lock doesnt work, but it is not an issue.

  : Good location at the Dubai Marina, well equipped facilities. Required infrastructure at Your footsteps. Everything as described.
  : One has to remember, it is not a hotel, it is an apartment, there is no fancy lobby etc.

  : Location, location, location! The view was spectacular of the Marina and it was an easy walk to the beach, tram stop, restaurants and JBR. The apartment is colourful and looks as shown in the pictures. Parking spot if needed!
  : The main entrance is in a car park, which is weird and all communication was done with Abdul (who was great) via Whats App (which seems to be the preferred mode of communication in Dubai). check in was okay, but had to be coordinated to the half hour to meet Abdul for the keys. Reception had no clue who we were. The sofa bed was atrocious! Seriously, there were more lumps and bumps than a camels back. Very uncomfortable to sleep on. Its definitely time to invest in a new one. Then it was just little things. The bins hadnt been cleaned out from the last guests, the oven wasnt clean, there were no dish cloths or dish towels, no washing up liquid and a serious lack of wine glasses (lol). One of the blinds was broken so it just looked a bit junky. Obviously, these little things are not deal breakers (except for the sofa bed if, like us, you were a group of 3 and that is someones bed for the duration of their stay). The location and view really cant be beat, but would I stay there again? Probably not.

  : Space was good. The view was fantastic since we are located at 16th floor.
  : Kitchen utensils are old and not clean (Coffee maker, kettle etc). Main bathroom, one light was not working. Would suggest to provide kitchen towels and diswashing liquid.

  : The view is amazing. The kitchen has everything that may be needed. It's nice that the apartment has a balcony and its windows face Marina so it's calm and beautiful. Air conditioning works well.
  : The apartment is not new, some of the furniture needs extra cleaning
