Welcome to Short Stay Stories, the series where we go on location with the businesses and brands that power the short-stay industry across the UAE and beyond. Today Katherine heads into the prestigious Dubai community, Al Barari, and meets with Jerin George from Stella Stays. We get a walk-through of a slightly different approach to short-term rentals as Stella Stays business model means they acquire the whole building. Jerin shows us around this two bed spacious apartment which comes with views of both the Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa in the distance. We hear about Jerin’s journey in the short-term rental market and what makes a Stella Stays property so unique. And of course, we have our signature Short Stay Suitcase segment too and Jerin takes on the challenge… how will he fare?
