Liked: Location
Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Desperately needs Maintenance and TLC.
Took a gamble on an unrated apartment, didn't pay off.
Pro's.
* Location is superb as you are right in the middle of downtown and within walking distance of all the attractions in the area, including the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall , taxi ride from the airport is a mere 15 minutes.
Cons
* Musty smell due to air-conditioning not being cleaned.
* Floors not cleaned and somewhat sticky.
* Walls need a good coat of paint as in places there are previous stains and marks.
* Sliding door in lounge needs fixing as excluder is broken so does not close properly.
* Bedroom window is broken and cannot be closed properly so heat and noise is more apparent,
* Other fixtures are in need of repair (bathroom taps, towel holder falling off wall among others)
* There is a building site opposite which operates pretty much 24/7 this is not mentioned at all in the listing
* Mosque also pretty much opposite with the call to prayer 5 times over day/night, again not mentioned.
* Seeing as the windows are broken both can be heard clearly and constantly.
* Beds are uncomfortable and lumpy to the extreme with the springs and mattresses no doubt very old.
Getting a good nights sleep is out of the question.
With all of the above I left way before check-out day as I needed a decent nights rest,
Its a real shame as this place has the potential to be a superb find with the location, it has though by the looks of it just been left to deteriorate with lip service on maintenance and upkeep
