My company wants to send me to Dubai for 3 months to help finish a project.
They say they are going to put me up in a serviced apartment for 3 months, but haven't offered a car rental near Gold and Diamond Park,Sheikh Zayed Road.
Is this a decent area to be around in without a car?

Yes its a decent area :)  ,you will be just fine without a car ,taxis/cabs are brilliant and you will be staying in an area that's quite central and all the nice hang out spots are there as well - there`;s also a metro see http://dubaimetro.eu/dubai-metro-map  which is very very convenient ,the public transport system is great.
