After a very positive experience with Domus International in Rome (where Isla and Stefano treated us wonderfully and the apartment was a pleasure), we tried Your Stay Dubai from whom we rented a 2 bedroom apartment. The experience was negative almost from the start.

Communications were poor; key pickup was difficult; and the apartment was a failure. It was not really a 2 BR apartment, since one "BR" was really an alcove, not a separate room. The WC was small and not clean; the kitchen poorly equipped. Shortly after arrival the power failed. The building concierge said that this was common. Absent power and after waiting longer than expected for a Your Stay representative, we checked into a hotel and asked for a refund. But they did't pay back.

Anyone thinking of using Your Stay (in London or Paris) should check the website called Notyourstay, which I found with a google search after our return from Paris. It is a collection of sad stories, many worse than ours about yourstay. I can't vouch for them, but our experience was negative.

when my sister booked from the internet i didnt know what to expect.when we arrived in dubai we were over whelmed.the appartments were excellent so modern with all the facillites available.there is a shop near by where everything is available,starbucks coffe place as well thai and indian restaurants.we could use all the swimming pools as well.if u r looking for a peaceful holiday this is the place to stay,iwould recomend to any british tourist who is confused as where to stay.the staff were also very helpful and friendly.to some it up excellent i wud stay again in the near future.
