Thanks for the comments all.
I will be ground based and unfortunately the grade entitles me to an apartment (3 bedroom) so I have been allocated here.
Are there others who live here with family? What is close by? From Google maps it looks like metro is short (10 min?) walk and Dubai Mall is not far either. Looks like there are a few restaurants close by too. I have stumbled across a couple of you tube videos but they seem to be small and possibly only 2 bedroom?
Interested to hear from any residents or people who have visited friends here.
Many thanks again all
