If you're talking about the MCV (Medical City Village?) in King Faisal, Riyadh --i have been there for a couple of visits to a friend...and the place is nice , and decent - but i would not know to your standards or expectation...
It is, of course, a small village, available pool,gym...
The housing units' are villa/complex type...supposedly for families, but is used currently for singles (F)
each unit has 2 floors : 3 rooms in 1F with T&B, small kitchen, living room laundry room, in the GF --> furnished...from LCDs, microwave, Ref, etc.
There's another accommodation for King Faisal expat employees > where you'd be living in flats...a new one is under construction where they will move the MCV singles' residents once completed...
and...yeah...anyone from King faisal here that can help...?

Welcome Dee West ! A suggestion for KSA - Its always better to come here with the open mind and take things in a little relaxed manner. Mostly with the red tape. And I'm sure its gonna be a good experience.

Good Luck !!!
