We are the only freehold here.. others is leasehold with d/payment, price is similar but we have 50 facilities with KLCC view without blockage

Everyone have different point of view and different interest when comes to property .. spending a similar amount of money that have 10 facilities and 50 facilities . I rather choose to 50 facilities , at least it’s there to use or enjoy whenever you want.. no need to envy others or felt unworthy... there are some condo with not much facilities yet charge higher MF than TRION

From what I recalled as told by SA...no prohibition as developer expects Trion to cater alot for tourists, short termers and thus, Airbnb is allowed. The residents can also use Mercure's room service as in ordering of foods to be sent to them (eventhough they're not hotel guests).

at 700psf, why not top up n buy SV2?  here apa pun takda.

I recall its just commercial lots, not a mall.

As for the shuttle bus, the SAs I've met didn't really elaborate on whether non-residents will use it or not.
It'll be interesting if those service centres give a 1/2 nights inclusive stay at Mercure for those whose cars are involved in a major accident as part of the repair package.
This is the first time I've heard of a hotel serving the residential portion of a project. Can't really imagine the JMB seeing an invoice from Mercure detailing the service charge rendered just to some residents/guests in the residential blocks.

I'm sure they will opt to put a stop to such services if the charges are unreasonable such as cutting the direct line to Mercure.

Future development of Bandar Malaysia definitely a plus point but need 10 or 20 years? The dual keys unit looks good to me. Beside got one mini mall built by Mahsixxxx ....
Not too difficult to check the rental within Sunway Velocity, surroundings, bla bla... I mean the things are there for you to compare.

I'm sure it'll take a while for the area to develop. Warehouses and small factories might move out slowly, but it also depends on the owners. Those car showrooms and service centres will stay put for years to come.

You can take PJ SS13 as one example of an industrial area slowly being converted into commercial and high-rise projects. It took many years for it to change and only now, you're seeing commercial and residential high-rises (e.g. Jaya One, Atwater, Ryan & Miho, Pacific Star, PJ Midtown) under con there. Even so, there are still a few factories and service centres scattered around the area.

As for staying there, you'll have to share the road with trailer lorries carrying newly-assembled vehicles or containers if you're commuting to work and leisure via car even if you minus out the construction equipment going in and out of the MRT2 project site once the latter is completed. I used to work around Jln Segambut and saw many such lorries going in and out on a daily basis. Some of them even park at the side near The Era's project site in the mornings while waiting for the Tan Chong plant there to open. Those staying at both the Era and Riana Dutamas will have to put up with this on a daily basis.

JMB wouldn't pay, it's just an additional option that you can order from Mercure if you're into that sort of thing. So yes, whoever that orders the food, pays for it as it is, lol

Those food deliveries options...that's true too. Valid point, haha

Fair statement. Though I must add that coming from the angle of how this property is being projected/sold, they advocate for Airbnb alot as part of rental strategy, so naturally no one will ever think of this place as purely only own stay without existent of Airbnb. Thus, very small owners would object to Airbnb or else all will get impacted. Again, purely feel good factor, agree that anything can happen.

They kicked out AirBNB operator but did not ban AirBNB isn't it?

M City, TG and all those places after the ban still have AirBNB isn't it?

I thought the original aim of AirBNB was to do it yourself?

Interesting. I always thought most people operated AirBNB the way I did. Fully furnished place can't rent out just use it to tie over till a tenant could be found.

Cleaning? I asked my maid to take a Grab car to the property and have her clean it up for extra pocket money.

These days I've stopped using AirBNB though, prefer a few of their competitors that are less stringent on rejecting guests based on race and nationality.

Worst experiences?

Actually to the experiences for the lettings I took on from Mudah were pretty good. The only trouble I had was 1 letting, rented it to this Malay family and he complained that the "Girls" room was decorated with Peppa The Pig and Babe which meant the place was "non-halal" I told him he was free to leave and I'd refund him the deposit but he stayed on and made a fuss at checkout time that he had to buy a new blanket and bedsheets to use.

All the bad experiences were through AirBNB.

Top 3 bad ones :-

1) Wedding party : They used it as their Tea Ceremony and then partying venue to sing karaoke. Place reeked of stale beer as they spilled it on the rug and just let it be. They must have had a binge drinking session in there as well as my maid counted 62 cans of Tiger. There were food scraps absolutely everywhere including under the bed. Bedrooms were thrashed as well.

2) Was some kind of family reunion : They crammed in 33 people into the 5 bedroom house. Because it rained they moved the BBQ set into the wet kitchen and carried on. They had 3 steamboat pots going in the living room. Damages  = Dining table, plaster ceiling at the wet kitchen, all the non-stick pans because some idiot used a metal fork to scoop whatever that was in the pan.

3) Wedding party : Place was badly thrashed as they played their "fetch the bride" games thrashed the entrance area. Shoe cabinet broken. They spilled wine on the kitchen counters and never bothered cleaning it up, caused damage to the chipboard. Then they dragged furniture all around on the solid wood floors scratching it all over. Then in addition to red wine stains which were everywhere there were stains of a biological nature everywhere,

We stopped taking Malaysian guest after that 3rd incident.

I don't know why some Malaysians mentality is like that.
I'm renting and I treat the place like my own, always clean up, never whack anything in the house.

When you're a landlord, you want your tenants to be nice to your property also, right?

Seems pretty reasonable.

If all those items were provided they get abused and cost money to replace.

But sorry to burst your bubble, most of the young ones weren't all that bad, the worst of the lot were 40-60something. Disgusting bunch.
There is a reason why many AirBNB hosts tend to keep the place minimally done up with the absolute bare basic. Else it becomes a bottomless money pit.

Around 70% bro..dropped in today to sign HOC.

Interested PM me bro, i know some good referrals.

900 sqft above will be FREE 2 car park.

Hope this place will get really get urban renewal with more project coming in

Why maintenance of the bus for 1st 2 years park under resident management account? Binastra promised to provide 1st 2 year free bus service to MRT\LRT station as part of marketing selling this property.
