This apartment was absolutely fantastic! The views of the Burj Khalifa were breathtaking, especially at night with the city lights. The space was spotless, modern, and equipped with all the necessities to make our stay comfortable and convenient. It was evident that the apartment was well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. The host was exceptional—quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating to all our needs, making the whole experience seamless. This is an ideal place for large family groups or anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and stylish stay in Dubai. Highly recommend this property for its unbeatable views, comfort, and excellent service! Would definitely book again.

So absolutely pleased to have chosen to stay here with family, our nanny, and toddler. Place was as described with a fabulous view from the balcony (love the seating out there), and lots of space for everyone. The team (our contact was Abbas, and the guy met us initially as well to help with bags and explain how things work... he was amazingly accomodating), was super responsive whenever we had an inquiry and we appreciate them very much. Top knotch service, with amenities like a hotel with dental kits, slippers, etc. Short, picturistic, walk about 10-13 min to the mall, around the Opera House and underneath the Burj. 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. 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.
