Properties advertised as semi-furnished or partly furnished come with a few furnishings. In Qatar when a property is advertised as semi-furnished or partly furnished this usually means that there are some appliances in the kitchen and sometimes fitted air conditioning units or fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms. This type of home is useful for those not wishing to spend on large kitchen appliances or "white goods" as they are otherwise known. These are typically, items that are somewhat costly to buy and also may require maintenance or a warranty, so it is definitely an added convenience to have peace of mind knowing that if your kitchen appliances ever have a problem, they will be taken care of by the landlord. This convenience is factored in the monthly rental price and semi-furnished or partly furnished homes do cost more to rent, which is expected for the reasons explained.
Al Messila is a district in the west of the municipality of Doha and shares its western border with Lebday and Old Al Rayyan (Al Rayyan City): two eastern districts of the municipality of Al Rayyan. The area is populated with mainly residential compounds, some large and gated with extensive facilities. The area also has plenty of schools to choose from. It is an area suitable in particular for families to find a home to rent either unfurnished or furnished as desired.
The area has good links for transport and the Al Shamal Road (Q1) otherwise known as the Doha Expressway, runs along the west side of the district separating it from the Al Rayyan municipality. Other main roads that run through the district are the Al Jazira Al Arabiya Street, Jassim Bin Hamad Street, 22 February Street, and the Al Rayyan Road which begins at Souq Waqif in Central Doha and later on merges into the Dukhan Highway (Q3) as it passes through the Al Shahaniya municipality and ends in the city of Dukhan in the west of Qatar by the coast.
