Ana Elisa Seixas and her family have invested Dh250,000 annually to rent a four-bedroom villa in Dubai's Umm Suqeim neighbourhood. The family, which includes Ana, her husband Catalin Marin, their eight-year-old son Ethan, and their cat Gruffy, has been residing in the area for 15 years. They cherish the villa's unique architecture, charm, and the nearby community garden where children gather.
Ana and Catalin, both passionate travellers, have transformed their home into a family space filled with their travels' souvenirs, including a yellow cabinet with over 100 trinkets from their global adventures. The villa features an office, a closed kitchen wrapped to look modern, a double garage, and a private garden that opens onto a community garden.
Despite the soaring rental prices, Ana believes their home is worth the cost, as it offers an authentic "old Dubai" feeling and close proximity to the beach, Kite Beach amenities, and schools. However, she expresses concern over the increasing traffic and wishes for the return of lower rent rates.
