Can anyone name the different apartment blocks they give to single FO's and cabin crew. Also a rating out of 10. With the location and a short description. Thanks.
AS already said, there are too many to mention.

The one to avoid, I would say, is 21st Century Tower...

It's party-central for the cabin crew which may suit single F/O's as well as being located smack bang in the middle of the financial district with some nice restaurants etc, but the apartments are old and battered and very small when compared to other EK accommodations.

For single F/O's the Manazel Building (new one in AL Barsha, not the old one in Bur Dubai) is nice and located right next to Mall of the Emirates.

Also TECOM has a few 2-bed apartments for single FO's, excellent location and very big apartments.

The there are are a couple of older buildings on SZ Road with big apartments that are popular too.

Lastly, there are some duplex apartments in the style of villas in Al Safa called the Garden Apartments, mostly occupied by single Captains who've given up their villas I am led to believe...
