Answer 1

As for the apartments, usually the area around the Harams in Makkah and Madinah is all hotels and motels. In Makkah, you have to get a little away from the ***** area to get an apartment. We usually go to the Aziziyyah area. But you may not like it because it is a little bit far from the *****, and you need to take a ride every time you want to go there. In Madinah, it is also all hotels and motels in the inner circle around the *****. However, out of the the ring road surrounding the *****, you will find plenty of apartments.
As for the helper thing, the definition of Mahram is your wife, or the women who you cannot marry like your mothers, daughters, sisters, mother-in-law, etc. A maid that works at your house is not Mahram for you. However, Saudi regulations don't have problem with taking your maid with you if you are her sponsor.
