Upgraded 1 BR Apartment in Downtown Dubai

I stated with two teenagers. The loves the facilities. My favorite was ladies spa .. perfect to unwind after a long day. The building is next door to Dubai mall fountain view entrance. Perfect!

Old and rusty tower. Super high service charges for poor service. No sewage system . A Truck comes on a daily basis to take the sewage. Tight entrance, Once the valet parking, refused to park my car even though I am paying service charges in full, and police fined me . The management makes the life of owners as hell so that owners give their properties to the management to rent.

Damac Maison "The Signature "the worst management I have ever seen in Dubai. If you are a resident and live in the building for a longer term, you unfortunately have the opportunity to see the true face of the employees who are not at all friendly and totally lacking in professionalism and respect. Apart from the fact that they are bothered by a simple question that you ask them, there is also the fact that if you have guests then they will come to your door constantly bothering you and making your guests leave even if they do not have a registration document to them. It doesn't seem at all normal to me that in the house I'm paying for in the long term, I don't have privacy and these people don't have a bit of respect for us.

Great location, amazing apartment layouts, proximity to groceries and landmarks. Best for short term stays. Long term living has its downsides, unless work place is close (my case). Huge noise and light pollution, insufficient sound insulation, slow lifts, waste water collection by cistern trucks. Limitations on access for cleaners, external maintenance companies and guests. Nevertheless, I love the place and the neighborhood and plan to stay another year.

It is a good place. Very near to Burj Khalifa, Fountain and Mall. Staff are good and friendly. Although the nearby building noise is somewhat disturbing I have an overall good experience of living here.

Very poor quality service. The management is very unfriendly and discriminates between long term residents and those who stays for short term. No porterage or concierge services for long term residence. if it happens you went for shopping or came from airport, the porters ask for your flat number first, if they know you are long term tenant, they put your luggage or shopping bags down on the floor and leave you alone. If you have visitors, they make their life hell to park unless they pay for valet parking service. Access to the property is only via long dusty road through a building site, full of dirts, noise (day and night), running workers / builders and ugly looking busses. The access to car park is very narrow; you will scratch your car at least once a week. The building doesn't have a service lift; it is not uncommon to be squeezed by sweaty & smelly hotel maids wearing ugly grey uniform. The gym is OK, but the pool is uncovered, so you will inhale dust and swim in a murky water. The management, have a shuttle bus every hour to Dubai mall. It was OK till appointed a new driver who stops in the street to pick up his friends or workers; they sit beside you with their dusty clothes. Damac, is supposed to be the 2nd largest property developer in UAE, I am sure they are not aware of the poor service in Damac Maison "The signature". I have to admit, not a single tenant or hotel resident, who I met, was happy.
