Thanks for the info - I used better homes last time and have been keeping an eye on their site - my problem is all the new agents that advertise in the Gulf News classifieds - without local knowledge / anecdotal information, it's not too evident sorting out the wheat from the chaff.
I will have accommodation for a few weeks on arrival, along with a decent (though not quite sufficient) allowance - so should be able to find something - just need to avoid the scumbags and rip-off merchants.
TTFN.
