The check in process was fraught and stressful. The manager/ owner did not want to provide an address until the last minute. Then I requested an early check-in--just an hour or two early--and was promptly sent a bill for 80$. I refused this and said I would check in at the appointed time - 4pm. Then the host said that she would let me check in early - the time repeatedly changed. In the end I waited on the street for an hour and finally checked in at 4pm. The flat was moderately clean but needs some repairs - the showers all drain slowly and a cabinet door was falling off. The host/ owner has a very strict notice in the flat about the need to report any damage within 24 hours. When I checked in the power was off so I could not see that well. Upon being in the flat, I noted a number of issues. I photographed them and tried to send them. Yet more stress as the photos would not upload. Only after repeated texts did the host/ owner finally send me a working email. Then there is the issue of electricity - the owner only let me know that they only provide a certain amount of credit after I had checked in. After the provided amount runs out, the renter is responsible. This was another source of stress. The flat is not located where indicated on google maps. It is actually much closer to a flyover and thus was noisier than expected. I have stayed in VRBOS in multiple countries - this was the most stressful stay I have ever had.

My friend and I have done quite a bit of traveling through out the world and this stay was top choice in Cairo. This unit is managed by 5 stars hotel standards and the owner has been in the hotel industry so we are lucky to find it. Brand new unit, amazing location which is easy walk to everything, manicured and well appointed property. The price was high compared to others but you have to be very careful in Cairo as the quality and standards are very low. The staff was so kind and helpful in every way. Next time I come back to Cairo I will definitely be staying here again. Thank you so much for the amazing stay :)

Excellent location in Zamalek. Many unique shops & also for antiques.There are restaurants,eateries galore & even a supermarket within a short walking distance. Even if your arrival is in the middle of the night there is a 24 hour place for you at the famous Maison Thomas not even 3 minutes away. The river is also a short walk away. You are in one of the historically original ,earlier high end sections of the city. As described with 2 nice sized bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen area, dining room & living room. Building equipped with a lift /elevator so no need to worry about schlepping your luggage (save the pair steps at the main entrance ) This is also a very safe section of the city. One thing that has to be mentioned which has nothing to do with the apartment/flat itself but the actual building or shall I say area. It seems to be in the very hot summer months in order to conserve energy in the different sections of the city there are temporary timed brown outs through out the city. In this particular area it is from 6pm to 7pm/18:00 to 19:00. Please contact the owner if you have any questions or concerns & they will be pretty much immediately answered/take care of or attended to. She is a wealth of information & very pro active. You are in good hands. Yes, I would recommend staying here.
