Hello all,

I am moving in 2 weeks to Doha and need an accomodation...I will be working in the Westbay area.

I am single and would't mind sharing with EU or American people if that is practiced in Doha!
Or have my owen place!!

I know many will say check classified but I would appreciate feed back from the vetrans in Doha.. since they know reasonabile prices, good places, responsible landlord, good offer, etc?

I would really appreciate your inputs..

a cool way of saying "cool" :). You be the judge.

Back to real estate, question to those who know and are kind people enough to share their local knowledge, what should be a good price for good quality 2-bed appartment? Now, I know that prices are all over the place. But if a person is willing to put some time and effort for a thorough search, what is a good deal? Cheers.

I haven't even arrived to Doha. Does anyone know if there is a new building release in the same compound? Or any 2-bed appartments of the similar quality for the similar price?

I was out there today...all the flats are rented now (one company came in and took all that's left)...there are two villas left, we saw both. Very very nice. Nice swimming pools and gym as well. The manager told me he expected everything to be rented by the end of today and they receive at least 50 calls a day, mostly people looking for flats.

Sorry I meant one place for us and one place for my mother in law. Identical of her place is better.

And Central Air - meaning not the units stuck in the walls. I hate those.

I’m living at serviced apartment in Westbay; let’s say sharing one villa with others. The villa managed by British estate agent. Each room is big enough for one person / a couple and has own bathroom, only share kitchen. Most of residents are British.

There’s a watch man, he is clearing house and maintenance house.

Rent is, it depends on room size, smaller room start from QR6000, larger room start from QR8000 for a year contract. Rent includes electricity & water bill, land line (only local call), Internet connection, Cable TV.

If you are interested in these room, have a look and contact them => http://www.homes2rent.biz/

They are quit good service.

Good luck!
