1 bedroom apartment in Burj Khalifa Area, Downtown Dubai

Some homes just feel different as soon as you walk in. This one bedroom apartment inside Burj Khalifa surprised me. It almost has a calming effect the minute you come through the door and I actually did stand for a minute by the window watching the Dubai Fountain sparkle in the afternoon sun. There is a real sense of space in here and not just because the living area is bigger than a lot of one beds around Downtown. The tall windows stretch right across and just soak the place in natural light. You get this rich glow from the dark wood floors and finishes which always looks smart but somehow still feels easy living. It feels grown up but not fussy if that makes sense.

One thing that stands out about living in Burj Khalifa itself is how quiet everything gets inside. Even with Dubai Opera and Downtown just below you the apartment keeps its own little world. If you enjoy watching the city go by from up high you will absolutely notice the difference. On a clear day you can see pretty far and the lights at night never get old. I found myself losing track of time looking at the fountains and actually hearing them too when everything else is quiet.

The kitchen here is fully equipped with everything you need so it is not just for show. Sometimes in these prime places the kitchen feels more for takeaway nights but here you actually might try a big home cooked dinner just because you feel like it. The laundry room is a little touch but for people who travel a lot for work or just like everything sorted it is very handy. Even a washing machine and dryer both set up already. It is one of those details you only think about when you try to imagine actually living here.

The walk in closet is bigger than you expect for a one bed. I actually walked in just to see how much it would hold and you could definitely stay organized without stuffing everything in a drawer or suitcase. It all just feels easy. Same with the bathrooms you get two here so there is always one free when you need it and both have a clean upscale look.

Now I know amenities are important and in the Burj Khalifa you really do get some extras that make life simpler. The first thing I always check is the gym and pool set up. Here you have two separate gyms and two pools plus there is a nice lounge space where you sometimes see people just working on their laptops or chatting in the mornings. Water is always cold in the pool and you actually get some shade even in summer which is not a given. Walking downstairs for groceries is easy too since there is a supermarket right in the building lobby. Dubai Mall itself is right next door so popping out for coffee or a quick walk is never a hassle. You sometimes see families in the lift heading out for the evening or business folks coming back with shopping bags from the mall.

Getting to the airport or DIFC is really straightforward from here. I tried it myself during the busy hours and it actually is less than ten minutes to DIFC and not much more to the airport. This is one thing that makes it really practical for people working in business or those traveling out of Dubai every so often.

Honestly it is not just about the skyline or the famous address. There is something about the way this apartment is set up that lets you settle in and just relax a bit more. Whether you are new in town or looking for a long term spot Downtown this place just feels right for a lot of people.
