Message for les-hart. I've been in touch with Anil today and if your the tenant on the 4th floor then he is giving you my mobile number so you can come and have a look around. I'm usually home at 5.30pm Hi Mollydxb, No we are on the 2nd floor. Just arrived back in the apartment from Oman, dashing all over the place at the moment which doesn't make the hunt any easier! Not sure how we can get in contact as am not sure if we can put phone numbers on here so I have duplicated this message in case the phone number gets blocked but this is just too important. We will have to try and phone Anil again but would like to come and have a look if possible but don't want to intrude. Thanks;) No problem at all. Not sure whether our apartment is meant for you then as he told me it was someone on the 4th floor. Maybe he got it wrong. I wouldn't worry if it's not meant for you as i think my neighbour is moving out this summer too. We're off out tonight but will be in tomorrow morning. Any time between 9 - 11 is fine. We're 333

I lived in Al Owais for a couple years (just moved out a few months ago). I really liked my time there (plus the price couldn't be beat) and the only reason I moved was because it was taking ages for a 2-bed to open up and I needed more space than I was getting in a 1-bed. If something happens to open up in time for you, I'd recommend it. I do agree with the noise comment re the back (1-bed) flats though. Those refrigerated trucks that sat at Spinneys were the bane of my weekend mornings. Good luck with the hunt - I absolutely love that part of town and really miss it.

I sent my husband out to look at Al Owais apartments today and he said there was a wait list for apartments? He said the Jumeirah 1 apartments were still in process of being constructed. I was on a waiting list 2 years ago like a lot of people but most people find alternative accommodation before 1 becomes available. I called every day for 2 weeks and the day someone moved out I moved in. Just keep calling because there has been a lot of removal men around lately.

There are quite a few small apartment buildings in the few blocks behind spinney's on beach road going towards 2nd December street - maybe take a drive round - there is a huge block behind Iranian hosp / spinneys that looks like it will be commissioned soon.
