The location is great, one minute from a beach. The beach is one of the cleanest. Sometimes, it seemed like they cleaned out even people (about 10 people on the beach). Maybe, because it's not a right season, and weather started to get worse in the end. There is Starbucks in 10 min walking if you miss civilization with macchiato and free wi-fi. Sunset villa's wi-fi didn't work well and generally I had troubles with Internet in Dubai. The kitchen is spacious, and most important it has a tea pot. Karin is nice and busy. The room is small, but private and clean.

Karin is a great and warm person. Her place is in one of best locations of Dubai. The communication was smooth and Karin's suggested many nice places to eat or visit. If i had to come back to Dubai i would want to return to her place! Highly recommended.

Confy room in nice Dubai area in front of a quite beach. The owner and her family are sweet and the villa is in the perfect location

A very good location and near the beach. I think ideal for some one wanting to be in that location. Karin seems organised (although i did not meet her as she was away) and very responsive. The room is only suitable for single occupancy. The plinth at the entrance of the bathroom needs to sorted out as it is dangerous. Otherwise for single occupancy given the rate fine. Facilities that come with the home are excellent and no complaints there.

Highly recommended

I had previously lived in Dubai for over 18 years so I know the locality of Karin's villa well. For my simple travel needs, the single room chosen provided all that I required and a refreshing break from the typical business hotel. Some might wish to chose the larger bedroom in Karin's villa but if you are someone whom is out most of the day and requires a comfortable, clean, en suite room, I found the single room absolutely fine. The location is excellent for the beach (literally only a few steps) and local resources of cafes etc. I wouldn't hesitate to use Karin's villa again or to recommend it.

Beautiful place and great host!

The room is nice and clean. Excellent position, one minute walk from the beach. Ideal for some rest and relax. I did not have the opportunity to spend too much time with Karin, but in person or via email she has been very kind and responsive.

nice

Finding the place: Taxi from airport cost me around 100 Dhs, since the address is not easy to find. Primarily since it is located far away from heart of Dubai, near to the Jumeirah Beach, however, the host was really really helpful in directing the driver not only for myself but for my visiting guest as well. Room: Very peaceful room, perfect to write a book or spend sometime alone away from crowd. Neat and clean, a dustbin is available upon request. The only thing not functioning was cooking gas, since it was Friday, a public holiday and so I had to spend on food outside for that whole day. The next day however Valentine and her worker personally kept reminding the gas agency, they finally turned up around noon and installed the cylinder. So until then, Shila the domestic worker let me cook my breakfast in the host kitchen. Unfortunately, there was also an electricity power cut, which was again to be fixed by the Dubai Electricity Board. Valentine again personally got the electric fuse etc checked from electrician to ensure nothing was wrong at the studio apartment. Power supply got restored until 2pm. Wifi and AC work fine. Cleaning lady came once in 5 days. Tip: Keep room door closed, neighbouring cats stray in. Going out: You need to walk to the main road to catch a taxi, and that can be tasking if you are planning to go out in the day (the heat is killing). Expect to spend at least 60-80 AED on taxi per day. There is one tiny grocery store 10 mins walk away. Many Thanks to Valentine, for being such a warm and helpful host, organizing the gas and electricity and especially the Airport cab for me early morning on my departure day. Overall, 4 stars on 5. I will visit here again.

Great stay! Simple place to lay your head if you love peace and quiet away from the large city.

Freindly hosts qith a perfect queit place

perfect, thank you for your warm welcome and available.

Great place, in between all highlights of Dubai, also very quiet and near one of the most beautiful beaches. Audrey is a very friendly host, the appartement is very nice and well equiped.

Fantastic location just minutes from the best beach. Cute place, clean and very comfortable with an outside shared courtyard to sit in. Lovely couple looking after it.

I've been staying at Audrey's place for nearly a week and felt very well looked after. The apartment is lovely, well equipped and comfortable. The location - you'll hardly find anything better - the beach is nearby, as well as lots of restaurants, shops and the jogging track is literally by the entrance. I WI enjoyed every single moment when I was there - especially drinking coffee outside at the terrace. The good thing about the place - you have your privacy, but if you'd live to socialise - amazing neighbours are just nearby. :-)) Audrey was a great host - she made sure I missed nothing: everything was ready for me, as well as some fruits, dates and the delicious lemon-mint drink, which I had to have one more time. Audrey was very friendly, replied to my messages fast and was there for me, which I'm very thankful for. I would recommend the apartment and Audrey as a host to anyone who wants to have a great time in Dubai and would for sure book the place for myself the next time come to Dubai.

A simple place with everything you need and in the most amazing location - in walking distance to the beach...

Accommodation near Audrey was fine - clean and exactly match the photographs and descriptions. 3 for what they want to sunbathe and swim quite ideal. The location is absolutely gorgeous in less than 2 minutes to the beach. Jen is quite close to a busy street at night with the window open you could hear passing cars. But the earbuds in your ears could bear it ...: D

The studio is really clean, cozy and only 3 mins away from the public beach. Those who are planning to have a casual vacation should definitely give it a try. You will never regret.

Santosh and Shaki are great host, they really took great care of us. They offered to pick us up at the airport and they also dropped us at Burj Khalifa. The onyl problem was that the flat was not really close to Burj Khalifa, as we expected (~20 min.drive). The room was perfect, they gave us towels, toothbrush etc.

Shiv & Santosh have been an excellent host; infact i had a delayed flight & they offered me to be picked up from the airport. It was a short days halt over for me before flying of to my next destination the next day. I was made to feel at home right away. I would rate it higher than an apartment hotel. It one is one of the closest stays near the World Trade Center i could find for a reasonable price. The place is well connected by Bus Stop just outside the residence & Metro within a couple of kms reach. There is a 24 hour supermarket in the vicinity (i forgot the name). A comfy bed & an attached clean washroom was all i could ask for. Keep it up guys, will come back for more.

I highly recommand the place. Owner is charming and her precence in the house very discreet. Double-check address and directions as location is difficult to find.

We didn't get to meet Reem, but her lovely helper Sri was there to assist us . We loved the homely touch of her home And breakfasts in the morning . Thank you so much for your hospitality

Great place to stay away from the busy city but not too far, the maid Sri is the star of the show

This villa was wonderful! Very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone wanting to experience local living.

Reem is very helpful and her place is comfortable in a quiet area, close to the beach. She helped me order taxi, because it was difficult to tell the address to the taxi drivers.

It's a very cute and clean house with good stilish furniture. There is all that necessary for well rest and life. This house is comfortable for family with kids. Reem's maid Sri is wonderful, kind and careful. Breakfasts and dinners were various and tasty. Beachs, shops, restorants, sightsseens - everything is close to this location. Me and my family are highly satisfied for our stay.

I must admit that this one of the best self catering i have ever had! Siri the maid is just awesome and so is reem I will surely comeback again and recommend others Very centrally located, very very clean, beatiful garden Just few points:: -Location is ambiguous, Reem you should put 11a on your villa. Best description is near to dubai zoo or near to four seasons resort or near galleria mall -there are two toilets in house but one bath. The other washroom has a standalone shower where you cant take a bath as its so close to toilet seat Very good stay!!! Highly recommended

We had an amazing time staying at this property. The description of the property is very accurate. Maid was a 'huge' plus as she took care of all our needs. House was clean everyday and the outside lawn sitting area was a plus for the blissful morning tea with peace. Also, Dubai mall was just 10 mins via taxi so proximity to main attractions was also amazing. It was little tough in the beginning to locate the property but was not too difficult. Would love to come back and stay at the same property again. Thanks for being a wonderful host.

there is a housing 6 rooms !!! cleanliness limit although clean bedding no towels and toilet home when I was with 8 tenants some dishes utensils - kitchen & 1 bathroom with shower and toilet - 1 bathroom with tub / shower and toilet - no lounge like photos / website it is not for me a home among the living but more like a dormitory the area is chic in the marina near the sea but NOT AT ALL to the location indicated on site map 10/15 kilometers from the point badly soundproofed - doors slamming - Neighbors who work leave early for a little more money there is much better

Perfect, the photos do not reflect the reality of the place and location are perfect. Go there without regret.

Elena was very cooperate and helpful. I like the place, it is in the middle of a popular place. Thank you

very good nice clean apartment

We have not met Elena. The apartment is consistent with the description. It is beautiful and has a wonderful view. Moreover it is extremely well located. the neighborhood is wonderful, lively, crowded restaurants. The 2 beds were very good quality beds and mattresses and great pillows. Nevertheless there are big negatives: 1 (and size!), It's Elena left us two fake cards parking / building access and swimming pool. When we were in the parking lot of the building, you can not access in and we had to wait every time someone comes or goes to open the door (we had to wait up to 15 mins!) Of same street side, we were each forced to "sound" the intercom so that the guard opens. The second is that in one of the two bathrooms, the tub leaked and after 1 bathroom, the bathroom was found flooded (1 cm of water all over the floor) not to evacuate, making it unusable bathroom for the rest of the stay. Finally, not one small piece of soap, no sponge, not a rag, no household product to clean a minimum daily the apartment. Side dishes, we were 5 for 2 small cuieillères 4 wall dishes are more limited. 4 towels for 5. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, extremely well located and with a great view, it lacks little to Elena in terms of equipment to make it more user friendly on arrival and it seems more than important to address this issue card so as not to place the visitors awkward position, penalizing and embarrassing.

This is really a fantastic experience, very nice room, good environment, and everyone is nice. Zee and Nameer help me a lot, the kids are so. cute and lovely, i like them a lot. I like all.

Nameer's place was really nice! He was very open with communication and the family was delightful. Definitely a place for early risers, as everyone is up bright and early and the room provides a view to the canal. They've got plenty of suggestions on what to do and are super helpful and accommodating :)

We have spent a wonderful stay in Dubai !! Nameer and his family are very nice and helpful whatever your questions. The villa is well located: very closed to Dubai Canal with an amazing view. Close to the beach. It is easy to access the main places from there.

The room is comfy, quite spacious, with a private and a beautiful view over the Dubai Canal and some of the tallest buildings in the city, close to the Safa Park. A nice quiet area, perfect for an evening walk along the Canal. The nearest underground station is within a walking range, though taxi fares are really reasonable in Dubai. Zee and Nameer are very kind, friendly and caring. We enjoyed staying with them a lot, all the time feeling very welcome and comfortable. That was an excellent choice.

Nam and Zee were an absolute delight and my experience with them in their lovely villa was nothing but positive. Such a kind, accommodating and hospitable family. The bedroom has a stunning view of the new Canal and access to Safa Park. It was quite and peaceful but situated conveniently to all the attractions of Dubai only a short taxi ride away. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay at! The location was perfect near a supermarket and very close to the beach. Sophie and Xavier are great people, very kind and helpful. We will definitely come back .

Our stay at Sophie & Xavier was really nice. Very comfortable bed and very modern style in the whole accomodation. The beach is very clean and not so touristic, perfect for relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sophie and Xavier's place. They were very easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. Although we didn't spend much time at the villa, it was a lovely place to come back to and enjoy peace and quiet from the hecticness of Dubai. We definitely recommend other people to stay with here.

Excellent experience with French people here.The kitchen bathroom bedroom everything is (URL HIDDEN) close to the Jumeirah beach and also nearby the Spinney center.

We are 3 girls traveling around Asia, Dubai was our first stop and we stayed in this Great villa !! Xavier was there when we arrive to help us and showing us around. The house is really beautiful and everything is really clean. The room we staid in was really big and nice and we had our own bathroom and shower and everything was so perfect!! It was so nice starting our day in the pool to cool us down. The location is so nice, it does not cost much to take taxi down town and the supermarket is 5 minutes walk. The beach and small restaurants are also close by or about 20 min walk away. The beach is so nice, not crowded and full of tourists. They were both so kind all the time and always ready to help us out, answering our questions and giving us advise on how to safe money. This neighborhood is really nice, it has beautiful houses and it is fun to walk around there. We recommend staying with Sophie and Xavier !! Because they are the perfect hosts! the house is really nice and clean and the location is perfect.

It was very nice stay, Sophie and Xavier are very friendly people, it was real oasis in the city rush. The house area is very quiet, walking distance to the beach, the house itself is well maintained, its home away from home. If you don't mind sharing house then definitely go for it. I will try to go there again in my next stay :)

I never thought i ever in my life will meet sooo many nice people specially the landlords, Sophia and her husband were sooo amazing, i was amazed how great they were, im planing to come back 3 months from now and i definitely will look after them!! Thank you soooooo much !!

Nice people nice place
