Charming & Cozy 1 BR in Time Place! Sleeps 3!

Decent in terms of cleanliness and location, average value for money with many faults... Positive: The only two good things about this apartment are the location (immediately at Dubai Marina) and the cleanliness of the sheets and towels. The apartment itself was decent, but it had many faults. Negative: The many faults that I didn't like are the following: - Broken coffee machine - it worked, but it was bulged and opened up on one side, and it wasn't making hot coffee, probably a defective heater or something else. I noticed it upon entering and requested to be replaced, but that didn't happen. - Microwave missing one leg and was out of balance - placing a one-centimeter-thick instruction manual fixed the issue... - Swimming pool was out of service during the whole of our 8-day stay, and we were not informed about that before arrival, nor upon entering - I read it myself on the elevator as a notice from the management. Informed the host, but nothing was done. - Moldy lower part of the shower curtain - that cheap curtain should be replaced monthly. - Fatty and several broken kitchen drawers and cupboard handles. - The apartment seems it is managed by a whole company with many people jumping in and writing messages on what and when you (as a guest) should do, but no one is reading the messages I wrote and replying accordingly. Trying to arrange Early Check-In was impossible until after we had arrived and waited for 3 hours in the parking lot. I was initially told I would be given the info the day before - you think someone cared to write me the day before... - They will ask more than once for your passport copies to send via e-mail and after you sent they will ask again because no one seems to do any spreadsheet on the guests, what info is provided, what needs to happen next etc. it's a communication mess...

My worst experience in renting apartment all over the world. Negative: My worst experience in renting apartment all over the world. First - you have no information from the host how to get the key and get in. Instead they ask me 4 times to send my passport. I sent it 4 times and 5th times they asked me to do it again. You need to install a special app (of course they don't provide QR code), however finally you are told there will be a person to meet you because you need to make a deposit (AED 800). Needless to say that when check-out nobody wanted to return me a deposit and it took 40 minutes to wait for it. Stay away from this apartment!!

Ótima estadia Positive: Tudo Negative: Nada
