From Google Reviewers

Each card is a real, public Google review of this residence, sorted into our ten questions – answered only where the reviewer said something, and marked “Not answered” where they didn’t. Reviews written in other languages are shown in English and labelled. These come from Google, not from verified residents, so they count for only a small part of the HT Score, never as much as a real resident review.

“It's on good location, near from Shafeer Hypermarket and other groceries too. Metro station is only 3......5 minutes far away by walking. Apartments, studio apartments and partation all available. Car pick up comes just in front of entrance for any duty locations inside Dubai. All together it's good for Middle-class paycheck workers/ employees. Available for both Bachelors and families. For your satisfaction go and explore, thank you.”

“Its a residential building being operated and managed by Betterhomes. No amenities. No gym. No pool. No sauna. Flat doesn't provide free chiller. Split type AC's are old and needs to be maintained more frequently. Typical AC issues are: Water leakage Temperature issues Bad smells coming when turning on Outdated AC AC Maintenance and other maintenance service is a headache, specially if you wanted something to be fixed urgently. The building is around 7-9 years old. Its a decent residential building good for a small family. There is a mosque in front of the building. Which can be a problem if you're not a muslim and if you have kids sleeping The surrounding area is good. There's are a lot of groceries, food establishments and malls nearby.”
