Many guests describe the apartments as spotless, fresh and well-maintained, with listings often matching expectations.
AC and other maintenance problems were often handled quickly, including a prompt technician visit that resolved an AC fault.
Several properties feature memorable views, including a direct Burj Khalifa panorama and Palm Jumeirah and marina outlooks.
Some apartments are especially convenient for getting around, including one described as literally opposite a metro stop.
One family found the apartment fully equipped and thoughtfully prepared for travelling with a toddler.
A guest extending their stay after changing business plans found the team accommodating and the unit suited to their needs.

Check essentials. On arrival, test hot water and safety equipment immediately; one guest reported no hot water for six days.
Confirm access. Recheck the unit number and entry details before travelling, since one guest received instructions for a different apartment.
Register parking. If driving, ask about car registration before arrival; one guest waited five days and had to rely on security to open the gate.
Compare units. Inspect the specific listing carefully rather than assuming every property is identical; one guest found a second unit in poorer condition on arrival.
Check location. For car-free trips, confirm the exact building’s transport links; one apartment was literally in front of a metro stop.

One guest reported a non-working gas detector, a serious safety issue that left the gas switched off after a delayed response.
A family reported having no hot water for six days, despite repeated maintenance visits and requests for a replacement heater.

The Bottom Line
Frank Porter manages furnished short-term rental apartments across Dubai, with its base in Barsha Heights. Guests book everything from studios to villas in places such as Downtown, Business Bay, Marina, JBR, Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Hills. The strongest pattern is straightforward: clean, comfortable homes, striking views and quick communication when the stay runs smoothly.
Location is a major part of the appeal. Reviews mention a Business Bay apartment with a direct Burj Khalifa view, a JBR home within walking distance of the beach, and another apartment literally in front of a metro stop. Some properties also provide useful extras such as self check-in, fully equipped kitchens, pool and beach access, or access to PRIME & NETFLIX.
Families have praised toddler-friendly preparation and practical building amenities. The experience is not completely consistent, so check the exact unit carefully before booking. Serious reviews report a faulty gas detector, six days without hot water, incorrect access details and mould at one Palm property.
Parking can also need advance attention: one guest waited five days for car registration. Confirm entry instructions, hot water, safety equipment and parking arrangements before arrival, then keep any maintenance request in writing.
