I don't hire agents, but in most cases, when I have called on an ad in the newspaper, I've been given the mobile number of an agent.

How do I go personally to the landlord, when the agent seems to be holding everything in his hands (I won't even get know the location unless the agent takes me there)?

After two weeks searching for accommodation in Doha, I have learned a lot about streets, directions & areas, but the truths about how to get a flat without losing money & time remain a bit of a mystery.

I really appreciate Qatarliving & all the kind support available.
