I'm not a resident of that condo, but I do know of a friend who is staying there and she likes the facilities as it is well-maintained. The weird thing she noticed is that each unit uses the old-fashioned single unit air-conditioners instead of the split-unit types. Furthermore, the entrance for people to walk into the condo compound uses some 'rotating' barrier you see in amusement parks instead of a gate/door. blink.gif

Either way, a well-managed condo is better than a badly managed one. nod.gif

The other huge advantage is that it is next to the walkway connecting to the Jelatek LRT station. She can even hear the hustle of bustle of people going to the LRT every morning. laugh.gif

Speaking of entrance point this place is Uber/Grab driver nightmare. We don't mind dropping/picking up at guardhouse but to enter will cause jam especially peak hour. Only got 1 lane and is only a small guardhouse. Visitor/Resident sharing same lane.
But we all know many passengers paying peanut but expect drivers to be send right to the door step of their unit if can.

Weird. My old condo (Robson Condominium) at Seputeh is also 2-lanes only (1 lane for entry, the other for exit), but so far I never encountered a 'jam' during peak hours. For Uber/Grabcar drivers, it's no issue to pickup me or anyone else here as the entrance to my condo's lobby is pretty clear for most of the day.

I did send my friend a few times back to Seri Maya but I always park outside the guardhouse to drop her off. Never drove in myself before, but never expected that many people driving to work in this condo aside from the LRT crowd, unless the delay is due to the condo guards asking a lot of questions to whoever is picking up/dropping off any resident there. hmm.gif

I agree. The community should encourage waiting for uber near to guardhouse for convenience for all. It is also a waste of time for passenger for the time taken for driver to enter the condo also.

Before putting the blame on the passengers/riders, try to put yourself in their shoes. What if they are not aware of the security requirements for visitors to enter the condo (especially the renters, homestay, etc.)? I'm sure if they keep on receiving calls frequently to state the unit no. and which block, they'll get the hint, but did Uber/Grab ever issue an email to all their users to do this? Don't know about the rest, but as a rider of both services, I certainly did not receive any such email from them. Only when I posted in this thread, then I am aware of this inconvenience.

Secondly, would anyone like to stand outside the hot sun/rain to wait for the car to arrive? I'm sure some wouldn't mind, but most will. And what about those carrying heavy items/luggages? Wouldn't that be inconvenient for them? And there are also times when the Uber/Grab driver will be stuck in the jam if the request came in during peak hours or if there happens to be some incident along the way which will set them back at 15 - 20 min at worst. If I have to wait that long for the driver to arrive, I'd rather wait inside my condo unit until he/she arrives to the front of the condo.

And fyi, at the condo where I'm staying, the guards here won't go as far as to ask which block and unit I'm staying in. Whoever comes in, just tell them you're picking up someone, then they'll let you in to park near the lobby. tongue.gif

Quite surprised that there are auction units there. Thought that a lot of Arabs are renting here? hmm.gif

Those Arabs staying at Seri Maya, I’ve always wondered what they do in Malaysia

I assume that they're working in the myriad of multinational firms based here, just like the majority of the expats in KL. hmm.gif
