Ascott or Pearl?
Hi ladies!
I narrowed down our flat choices to 2:
- 1-bed Ascott serviced apartment in West Bay; or
- 1-bed apartment in a new tower in Pearl in the Qanat Quartier (15B)
All in all they basically cost the same and I like the look and feel of both. Could you ladies help me to decide? We are totally new to Doha and I have seen so many compounds that my head is about to explode!
We heard that living in West Bay is great, as we could walk to work in cooler months (both my husband and I will work in the Tornado tower) and there are all the shops and hotels close by. From what's available (not many choices!) I liked Ascott the most. Does anyone have experience of the place? What kind of neighbours could I expect? Isn't it a little bit dark in the flats?
The Pearl apartment, on the other hand, is brand new, lovely furnished and considerably more spacious. And it has a balcony overlooking the marina! Other than the traffic to get to work, I worry about all the construction work that is happening around. Although none of the windows are facing building sites, how much noise should I expect? Will I be able to enjoy the outdoor pool on the weekends? And how long would it in fact take to get to West Bay in the morning?
I would greatly appreciate any opinions! (need to make a decision in the next few days) Many thanks,
Nina
