One of the most beautiful, cleanest and finest places I have lived in. The treatment was beyond excellent. They made everything easy and my requests were carried out to the letter. Communicating with them was around the clock, and if I spoke to them at dawn, they would answer me on WhatsApp. They were very kind. The place is very, very, very clean, close to all entertainment places and close to the Yas complex.

Above all, the host response was unparalleled! both in the speed and in the positive attitude I don’t think I have encountered such flexibility friendliness and hospitality before. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing. The flat is homely and lovely. And the mattresses were super comfortable it was to get out of bed! I highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Are these the same apartments as on Airbnb or Booking.com?
Yes. Same homes, same photos, same team — we manage them ourselves. Booking here just skips the fee those sites add on top, so the same stay costs less.
Why is it cheaper to book here?
Airbnb and Booking.com add a service fee to every reservation. Booking on this site means there is no middleman to pay, so that fee simply is not there. Same apartment, same dates, lower total.
Can I cancel if my plans change?
Yes. Cancel up to one day before arrival and you get a full refund, no questions and no fee.
Are there any extra fees at the end?
No. The total you see already includes cleaning, tourism fee and VAT. Nothing is added later, and there is no deposit to pay at the door.
Is it safe to pay on this site?
Yes. Payments run through Stripe, the same payment company used by Amazon and Booking.com. Your card details go straight to Stripe — we never see or store them. You can also pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
How do I get into the apartment? Do I have to meet anyone?
You do not need to meet anyone. We send you a PIN code the day before you arrive. There is a small lock box next to your apartment door — the PIN opens the box, and your key is inside. The one stop you do make is the building security desk, where your passport or Emirates ID is registered — that is required in every building in the UAE.
Do I need to show ID?
Yes — UAE law requires every guest to be registered. After booking we send a short online check-in form where you upload a passport or Emirates ID. It takes about two minutes, and doing it early means there is nothing to sort out when you arrive.
Still unsure?Ask us anything. We usually reply within 2 minutes.
