Short-term apartment rental in Doha

By DupontDC

I am trying to plan a 3 week dissertation research trip to Doha, Qatar for the end of August/September and have some logistical questions. Primarily, I am finding it challenging to find an affordable place to stay for this (longish) period of time. I thought of trying to rent a room from a site like Air BNB or VRBO but there are few (Air BNB) or none (VRBO) places listed for Qatar. Also, it does not seem like you can communicate directly with the person through these websites and I do not feel comfortable making arrangements for a country so far away without talking to the person I would be staying with (to verify they actually exist etc.). Is there anyone who is experienced with travel to Qatar who might have some suggestions for where I might stay? Also, are there parts of Doha I should target or conversely avoid? I will be traveling to Education City some days but will also have meetings other places in Doha. Suggestions for areas that would be safe and centrally located would be super helpful. I will not be renting a car but relying on taxis/drivers so advice on good locations is most needed.

Thanks so much!

Try to search under hotel apartments. They have short term rentals, cheaper than daily hotel rates. Most of these places located within the center of Doha, therefore wouldn't be a problem getting taxi. Sorry I don't have a specific names.
