Where can I find temporary accommodation in Dubai?

Hi all

I am sure this question as been ask before sorry about a repeat question.

Because I will be only be in Dubai for approx 6 mts at a time I would be looking for some were to live other than hotels.

I have looked at hotel accommodation this is alright for a week or two, the other option is renting a Flat/condo but from what Information on the web the flats / Condo’s are on a yearly rental this is quite understandable.

In Dubai is sharing a Flat/condo a possibility for a few months while I find my way around with out at first a yearly commitment or help with expenses etc.

I would greatly appreciate any help or advice if it is at all possible on where to advertise or go to make contact with people.

Thank you for any help received
