Hello all,

I'm Irfan and I'm moving to Bahrain in September.
Can you please help me out with your suggestions for accommodation?
I am interested in joining a nice neighborhood. I would prefer the locality where we have a diverse expat community.
For me a small studio apartment will do just fine but Shared accommodation is also an option ..what do you think should be better..? Also what would be the cost? Are there any additional upfronts I need to pay?

Thank you very much for your help. These articles are from 2013, 2014 and 2015...Is it safe to say things havent change much? I mean we are gearing towards the end of 2017..!

Minimal changes to the cost, its only risen but not fallen.

Alright..I am already looking at things from here but probably I will need to explore more once I'm there..I would look for a shared accommodation option..I wonder if thats a good way to go compared to having a studio apartment of your own? In terms of finance and ease
