We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful apartment in Downtown Dubai. The apartment is very spacious, spotless, and located in a very nice building just steps away from Dubai Mall. The views are absolutely stunning especially of the Dubai Fountain, which has recently reopened, making our stay even more special. Our host, Abbos, was amazing: very friendly, responsive, and always ready to help. Check-in was smooth and fast, and everything was perfectly organized. Overall, it was a perfect stay, and we would love to come back again! Highly recommended.

Great stay with Desert Key at Downtown Views II. The apartment was very well furnished, spotless, and had a beautiful view of the Burj Khalifa. Location is perfect with Dubai Mall just a short walk away. The team was super responsive on messages, check-in was smooth, and they were flexible when I asked to extend my dates and for a later checkout. Really enjoyed the place and would definitely stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay at Bergthor’s place! The apartment was clean, cozy, and exactly as described—perfectly located and well-equipped for all my needs. Bergthor was an exceptional host, very communicative and always available , ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Dubai for business or holiday. Very ideal for a group of friends or family. Very good views too!

Beautiful apartment with amazing views of Burj Khalifa and other landmarks. Patio is the highlight of the apartment. Apartment is as described in the listing. Great place to stay for a large family of 8-10 people. Host was very responsive all throughout from booking to check-in and during the stay.

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. The apartment has a smart lock, so there is no key to collect — we send you a PIN code the day before you arrive and you open the door with it. 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.
