I check its manual with regard to Where=:

  Takes an absolute path of a directory of the mount point. If the mount
  point does not exist at the time of mounting, it is created. This string
  must be reflected in the unit filename. (See above.) This option is
  mandatory.

There doesn't seem to be an alternative. I'm happy if someone can
correct me though...

Agreed...
