We had a family vacation in the apartment. The interior is beautiful, everything is very clean, there is everything you need. Excellent location, there is an embankment for a walk, restaurants and a small supermarket within walking distance. The owner responded to the request with early check-in and late check out. Thank you! I definitely recommend it.

The accommodation fully matches the photos - fresh, clean, with its own balcony. We rented the apartment on the same day we arrived, the host quickly contacted us and sent detailed instructions, including convenient Wi-Fi details so we could complete the online check-in. Everything worked perfectly. The apartment is located just across the road from New York University. We came to see the university for our children, so it was very convenient and comfortable for us, and Saadiyat Island is wonderful. 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 on WhatsApp — we usually reply within 2 minutes.
