Well this is not exactly Europe and you will find things likely not as close or handy. That is likely why they suggested living closer to your work. Also, when you say airport, the new airport under construction or the existing operating airport?
You will find traffic here to be a mess and very slow. I am from Texas and used to commute 75 miles or approximately 120 km everyday, I know commute approximately 12 km and it can take as much as an hour to arrive at work, thank goodness it is not usually that bad. By comparison, my 120 km commute to Dallas only took 1 hour and 15 minutes for 10 times the distance.
So you may wish to consider location to work, but honestly you are the only one who can assess that and to do that properly, you will need to have boots on the ground here in Doha.
