Frequently asked questions

Which metro line is best for families on a budget?

The Green Line through Al Qusais, Al Nahda, Deira and Bur Dubai has the most affordable family flats near stations.

Is there a metro in Silicon Oasis or International City?

Not yet. Both are on the route of the planned Blue Line; until it opens, residents use buses or cars.

Does Stayshay list 2BHK and 3BHK family apartments?

Yes, as a free concierge. Send your brief (bedrooms, budget, areas, move-in) and our team sends real options with prices and viewing times on WhatsApp, usually the same day. Our public listings are shared housing, so family homes are matched by hand.

Is there a fee for families?

Stayshay charges families nothing. If an option comes through an agency, the agency fee (usually around 5% of the yearly rent) is shown before you view.
