Default Manchester Tower

Hi all,

I'm looking at 3 bed apartments and have noticed that Manchester Tower is much cheaper than anywhere else in Dubai Marina. Does anyone know what it's like and whether it is next to the main road etc? Why is it so cheap?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

at the end of the day your not here to spend a load of money on rent, so go for it if you want a good deal.

im sure your here to make money and save money........ a roof over your head is a roof over your head..... and your still in Marina so... view it and make your own decision...

I wish I read a thread like this a few months ago. My husband moved to Dubai 3 months ahead of me and got a furnished unit in one of the Diamonds for a few months. Well, I got here with our baby of 9 months a while ago and we are stuck here until end of this month! Having a hard time finding other furnished accommodation but surely anything will be better.

I live in a Diamond and i hate it! I am finally moving out next week. I understand saving money but the hassle it has caused living where i do its not worth it.

I have had lights out constantly, lifts that dont work, literally crumbling walls and last month a flood right through my apartment.
