WOW! Thanks. Just the post I needed to read since I am planning a trip to Dubai. But do you think these hotels can beat the options at Airbnb?

Thanks for stopping by Navin, and glad you found the post useful.
So far as AirBnb is concerned, to be honest with the kind of news stories surfacing about AirBnB accommodations, I had be a wit wary about picking them. Wish they become stringent in accepting properties into their fold.
