The units come with air conditioning, an oven, a microwave, a kettle, a hot tub, a hair dryer and a desk. Some units feature a terrace and/or a balcony with sea or lake views. At the homestay, the units are equipped with bed linen and towels.

- First and foremost, the host Ahmed deserves its SuperHost title as he's anytime just a minute away via messaging and promptly looks after every of your needs. - The location is rather prestigious (Dubai Marina) and with the great view of the Palm Jumeirah that you can get at the lounge on the 97th floor, you even don't need to go and get a ticket at The Palm Observatory! Seems like booking a room here includes an attraction ticket ;-) - The rooms are spacious and their photos are true reflection of the reality - There are plenty of restaurants around the tower

Amazing Double Room with En-suite, Marina and Sea views with shared kitchen is a beachfront property located in Dubai, less than 1 km from Marina Beach and a 17-minute walk from Barasti Beach. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a 24-hour front desk and a lift, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The homestay provides a pool with sea views, spa facilities and a shared kitchen.

The apartment is exactly how I'd keep my own home - spotless, effortlessly stylish, elegant and spacious. The views from both the front room and my room were exquisite. Above all, the host was possibly the best I've ever encountered - kind, helpful and going over and above to answer both any queries about the apartment, area, and of matters that one shouldn't trouble him with (like my own technological limitations, directions snd airport transfers). If I could give him and the accommodation 10 stars, I'd still be underestimating the excellence of the experience.

The host was very accommodating and took care of me during the whole duration of my stay. They became a good friend of mine. The place was so clean and quiet. It is well maintained and cleaned everyday. Most of the things you can find in a hotel are also available like towels, free drinking water, shampoo and body soap is also available. They have free coffee, tea and biscuits. Even the beds and pillows are soft enough and comfortable to sleep on. You have your own light and bedside wall outlet for you to charge. There is also privacy as each bed has its own curtain you can close for privacy. There are cabinets you can use for your clothes and There is also a small grocery store near. Its definitely a good deal for money.

this is my first time staying at a hostel, and the all-girls place that the landlady Lisa provided was 1- super clean, comfortable and despite that it was not her job to do so, she provided towels and toiletry. 2- safe 3- and very central at close proximity to Dubai media city and all attractions in Marina 4- you just cross the street and can enter the hotels with their beach facilities (some pose a fee), and the nearest free beach either at JBR or al Sufouh is less than 7 min away by taxi. 5- the views overlooking the emirates golf course were breathtaking. 6- I extended my stay for a few more days and Lisa was super helpful in providing accommodation at another place she runs across the street it was also super clean, safe with breathtaking views overlooking Dubai Palm island
