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.

Easy self service check in and great facilities. The villa is absolutely stunning. It has everything one could ever imagine one might need. Every corner is decorated tastefully with a cosy touch. The neighborhood is absolutely quiet, gorgeous and very safe. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. The host Fatma was super helpful and accommodating. We have a welcome box with many different foods and beverages. Stayed here during the Christmas and New Year and was warmly greeted on both holidays. Would absolutely recommend it. And if I come back to Dubai again this will be my place to stay. Fatma, thanks again for all. As you promised you made our stay amazing
