Deal of the Century

Deal of the Century: Dubai

Given that this apartment sits in Business Bay, there's every chance that you'll be coming to Dubai for work reasons if you stay at this home. However, that's not to say that a spot of relaxation isn't possible, especially while gliding through the building's communal swimming pool or perhaps gazing out over the city's opulent skyline from the ninth-floor balcony.

The home is modest in both size and scope by local standards, but in any other location across the world, the address would be highly coveted for its minimalist kitchen, sleek furnishings and tasteful artwork spotted throughout. Both of the bright and airy bedrooms benefit from access to the terrace, which is a lovely spot from which to greet the day each morning.

Elsewhere in the building, there's a shared gym to go along with the swimming pool, as well as a children's play area. in the surrounding area, you're close to plenty of offices and commercial buildings, but there are pleasant walking routes around the canal to embark upon if you fancy. Similarly, the fountains, malls and world-beating skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai are only a short drive away, too.

Home truths:
*There's a lift in the building to reach this single-level apartment on the ninth floor
*The building has covered parking spaces available for guests
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
