Had to pick up keys from owner then go thru my life story before he handed them over, place was provided with parking. But without warning I was kicked out as I parked in the garage ? Absolute axxholes live there , owner stalks from the lake.

Response from Owner of Marina View Apartment on 12 Feb 2022
The guest decided to park his chopper motor bike in the underground car park and remove his registration plates which was noted as a security breach if damage occurred to other vehicles or property was stolen from cages (which has occurred) and in that case the CCTV security cameras could not identify the helmeted rider or motorbike. The guest was asked to leave due to this suspicious behavior breaching the building's security policy (he is unknown to the Body Corporate ad he is not a resident or a lease holder). The guest also decided to join 2 small beds together without bed linen, took pillows from the wardrobe without pillow cases and made himself up a makeshift double bed with a blanket as a sheet and decided not to sleep in the properly made up double bed. Overall not the type of guest we have stay at the apartment.

Two things the owners can take into account 1) Please provide linens/bedding material for both the bedrooms. We booked the two-bedroom apartment for a reason but only one bedroom had linens, the other had no sheets, pillow, or blankets. A full cleaning fee was charged for cleaning (half) linens. 2) Please charge the cleaning fee online as some people do not prefer carrying cash. Otherwise, the apartment was well equipped and we had a good stay.

You booked as a couple, I verified this with you. Per extra person is $40.00. You allowed one of you friends to stay over and use a bed without linen. What a pig! You left the apartment in a disgusting state, You probably need servants like in India. This is not a serviced apartment. Our policy is stated up front that the kitchen is to be left neat and tidy. You left it like a pig sty. You are filthy pigs. Never come back. Expedia do not charge for cleaning. Get your facts correct and never return. We don't accommodate animals like you two with putrid pots and pans, cutlery and plates. Please find a pig farm for your next stay. Thank you

Awesome view of Maribyrnong river, with a homely and comfy feel. Home away from home, great for a short escape. Hosts were excellent. It's also in a nice suburb. Just a plain simple 10/10 experience.

Marina View
We only stayed one night but were lucky the weather was balmy and we were able to enjoy dinner and drinks on the balcony till late. A beautiful view, extremely quiet. Good location with Aldi and restaurants very close. A bit tricky to find at first and the streets are narrow with many cars parked either side, like a lot of modern estates. Well equipped if you were wanting to cook for your self.

Thanks Dalores, very nice review. As for the street being full of cars, yes most of the time it's like that but luckily the apartment comes with a secure underground car space. I have to agree with you that the view is truly beautiful during the day and at night.
