The apartment is very nice, I will not dispute that. It's spacious and clean and well maintained. But it is so far from everything. You have to walk maybe 10 minutes to get to the metro. And it takes ages to get to where anything is happening because you need to take into consideration that there is always traffic in Dubai. So to get to Mall of Emrirates by taxi it cost me 90 dirhams by uber and it took more than 30 mins. Normal taxi cost 70 dirhams. Its expensive. If you are coming to sight-see, this place is too far from everything. Plus, it's right next to the airport, so you can't leave the windows open unless you want to listen to the nonstop sound of planes taking off. If I were coming here for work, this might make sense. But for tourists, this is too far from anything. It's in Deira, yes, but not the vibrant part of Deira. It's in a huge parking lot area, so there is nothing to see outside except a lot of cars parked. Also, you do not have access to other floors unless you request it. So if you are a large party as we were, none of us could easily visit each other without our key card to get access to the floor. They said they would send an email with a scan that could be tapped using your phone, but we never received it. Internet was OK. There is a mall located about a 10-minute walk away (City Centre Mall), which has decent shops and restaurants. But again, it's all far from the hotel, and stepping out of the hotel, you are in a purely industrial sort of area. There is a great little cafe that opens 6am to 10pm daily across the road. They sell teas, good South Indian food, and drinks. There is also a supermarket across the road where you can get your necessities. Best to buy dishwashing liquid and a sponge too, bc they don't wash any dishes you have used, and do not provide sponges nor detergent for washing dishes unless it's by machine (who's going to put 1 glass into a dishwasher?). As I mentioned, the place is perfect, with awesome staff. If only it could be transported to a different part of Dubai where there are things for tourists to do. Great staff. Extremely clean. My only problem is the location. Not particularly touristic.
