zamarek is up market area in cairo. plenty of restaurants open till early hours. all prices and palates catered for - italian, french, japanese, egyptian. roomy apartment with air conditioning. egyptian museum easily walkable. nile cruises nearby.

Samah is an amazing host , the place is amazing, great location and a vital area, also calm . Samah welcomed us , and left us some snacks and a bottle of egyptian wine. I highly recommend this apartment

This is my second time staying in one of Samahs flats on Cairo. She truly has exquisite taste and does everything she can to make sure your stay is comfortable and satisfying. This apartment specifically is a gem in the middle of zamalak. It's clean, cozy, and artistic. Everything is absolutely amazing. I will definitely be staying here again!!

Water was cut off from the apartment for a day .

Samah deserves her reputation from other customers as a super host. She helped me move from my other apartment (also hers) and was always available if I had a problem (I didn't). The apartment is spacious and quiet and everything works the way it should. I would gladly stay with her again and recommend others to do so. You won't be disappointed.

Samah's place is everything you could ask for. It is in an excellent, central location with tons of shops and restaurants close by. Zamalek was the perfect neighbourhood to stay in. Samah was an extremely kind and helpful host. The place is clean and has everything you need. I would highly recommend staying at Samah's.

Superb host quality apartment cemtral location what more can i say Samah really goes out of her way to make sure that her guests are comfortable and makes them feel so welcome Highly recommended!!

Excellent séjour! L'appartement est très confortable surtout la literie, Samah est très agréable et attentionnée :) l'endroit y'a pas mieux quartier résidentiel très sécurisé!

The host is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The place is located in the best area of Cairo, very convenience and safe! The apartment also very clean and comfortable to be in. Love the location and you're able to go anywhere within Cairo! There are many local and western restaurants, cafes around. The host prepared snacks, mineral waters, beverages, etc, super nice! Highly recommend to anyone who is coming to Cairo, and Zamalek will be a best place to stay; and this apartment considered an ideal place to stay!

I spent many hours searching pretty well all the available Cairo listings on Airbnb, and it seemed obvious to me Samah’s places were the best. This one didn’t disappoint. Samah is a well-seasoned traveler, so she knows what a place needs. Everything I wanted was in the apartment. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was a great size for me. The location is truly fantastic. I love Zamalek, and this was walking distance to most places I wanted to go. There are some terrific eateries nearby. The building the apartment is in is perhaps a little rough around the edges, but for me it was ideal. I wanted to live as a Cairene for a week. It was an authentic neighbourhood place, and I really loved the area. Everyone there was very friendly too. And the apartment itself is like having a high-quality hotel room in an authentic apartment building. Then there’s Samah herself. Her English is perfect – almost certainly better than some of my friends. She’s super-responsive – answers all questions very quickly. And she’s the most interesting person I’ve met in ages – I had the good sense to take her to dinner, and I would encourage you to do the same.

It was already the second time that i stayed in this cozy appartment and again it was a pleasure for me to be a guest of samah ! The appartment is clean and provides everything u need for a relaxing stay (towels, hairdryer, small snacks, bottle of wine,...) this time my plane was delayed and although i was more than 2 hours too late, there was someone waiting for me at the appartment to give me the keys ! All in all it's an awesome place for having an unfortgetable stay in cairo :)

Samah was a great host, she was very friendly, prompt with time and communicating with her was very easy. She was very flexible with we times to check in and check out. When we arrived to the apartment she had snacks and drinks already waiting for us :) The location is perfect for anyone. There's a laundry shop, waffle shop, shawarma shop, a small convenient store, a burger place, pharmacy, a pub and more all located within 100 meters of her apartment. Her apartment is perfect for 2 people. You have everything you need such as a microwave, refrigerator, stove, sink, and a small table with chairs which all makes you feel like you are right at home. For us, this apartment was amazing because it had all of our basic essential needs. The only issue we had was the shower leaked really bad where the toilet and sink were so we had to keep a towel there for it to absorb. Other than that, the place was very clean and taken care of. When I come back to Egypt, I will most definitely stay there again :)

This is my second visit to Samah`s Condo Studio and I have to admit that I grow in fond of this place even more , due to its bona fide ambiance and its amazingly supreme location in the heart of the elite part of town (Zamalek) . Henceforth Samah is truly one of the most professional, friendly host I have every encountered , she is truly a welcoming winsome Host. Bottom line to requote is that “So far Samah is the Maestro over here “in Cairo. And heads up I definitely will visit this place again and recommend it. Thank You Samah !

It was clear from the get-go that Samah has dealt with Westerners before, as she was exceptionally professional and helpful. I had to book with her very last minute, since many of the individuals on Air BNB in Cairo tend to cancel requests last minute and say the room is unavailable (yet, they keep the dates open on the calendar...). She wasn't even in Egypt at the time, but she was able to coordinate everything really quickly. The internet also went out a few times (it's pay as you go because its faster than standard internet), and she was able to reload it and get me back online in a few short hours! The flat itself is situated inside of a building with a few small businesses and organizations. It's up 3 flights of stair and there are cats and trash all over the place in the stairwell, but it didn't bother me much (Its a city with massive numbers of people. There's trash). The location is literally across the street from a small mosque, so you hear the call to prayer, but other than that the area is relatively quiet, especially at night. Its also in the heart of Zamalek, so there are plenty of entertainment options available. It's also an isolated apartment, located in the corner of a floor that has a lot of businesses that are closed at night. So, I had no problem having a few friends there before or after we spent time in Zamalek, and no one was bothered by it. The flat itself is just as pictured. A fairly big studio, although the bathroom is a bit small (again, not uncommon for most places in Cairo). The inside was really clean and furnished by IKEA, which we all love :) There's even a little desk space by the window, which is where I was able to get a lot of my work done. Everything you need to cook is there, if thats what you like to do. There's even spices and things that you can use, so you don't need to run out and buy a container of salt when you only need a pinch. There is no oven, but there is a full-size fridge, microwave and a stovetop. The TV also has some good channels, with English films (channel 17 was starz, I think). Even though Samah was not there, I felt really at home and able to contact her with any issues I had. In fact, I liked the flat so much that I extended my stay from 3 days to 5, which Samah helped me with without a problem. I'm coming back to Cairo in a few months, and I am definitely checking this place first!

As soon as you left the house entrance and quite creepy and dirty two staircases and long hallway behind, you feel immediately comfortable in this cozy and modern studio. Everything what you need is there and Samah provided several snacks and drinks and the bottle of wine. As already described by the other visitors, she's a great host and the communication with her was perfect. The internet works fast and without any problem. In the area you really find everything what you need like coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets. I always felt safe and I will definitely come back.

Samah's place is absolutely perfect, very modern and comfortable and close to all the restaurants, shops and lively places in Zamalek area

The apartment is centrally located in Zamalek, which helps you commute to either side of the city. The area is very secure (some consulates, security in the area) This room is one of three in the apartment, the other two being bigger and slightly higher priced. But this one is just as nice, very clean, spacious, nicely renovated (recently) & equipped.. and with a balcony overlooking the street. My stay was enjoyable and comfortable. There's a kitchen (complimentary breakfast items etc), shared living room, one shared bathroom with the other two rooms (although if other rooms we vacant, you have it to yourself). The only thing to be aware is: In the morning when the traffic on the street starts, it can get a little noisy if you're a late riser. For commute, Careem car was convenient and easily available...(Captains call for pick up coordination sometimes- if you don't know Arabic, anyone in the street helps easily)

Great, clean and comfortable flat, perfectly located.

Nice place and comfortable

Location is really good, with good restaurants, and you can go everywhere by taxi. Bex is very kind and caring, you will have a great time in Cario!

We had a great stay in this very good value place - the appartment is nice and clean, with a superb location. Bex was also a very good host, well organized and very friendly and helpful. Recommend!

The appartment is in a perfect location, everything you need is close. And Bex was a great host, she made our stay comfortable!

Bex was a lovely host. She made us feel welcomed and was very obliging. She gave us advice and helped with getting a driver etc. We really enjoyed staying there. The flat's location offers great flexibility for any trips round Cairo and its environment. There are many cafès and restaurants nearby. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone who searches for an authentic travel experience within a warm and comfortable surrounding.

Bex was extremely kind and waited for me even at 5 am to welcome me. Her place was in the best part of Cairo and was spotless and very comfortable

I loved this apartment and it was great staying with Bex! I am actually planning a trip to Cairo for the winter and will definitely book this one if its available. The apartment is very pretty always perfectly clean. I loved the balcony and view. Its in a very good location in Zamalek and close to a lot of nice bars and restaurants. Bex is lovely, super responsive and helpful with everything. Highly recommend and thanks again!

Great house, great location and an amazing host!

A very clean and nice room. Comfortable bed. The flat is in Zamalek centre next to all facilities. Bex was very kind and friendly. I would definetly reccomend her and her room =)

Excellent Nile view from the balcony. The flat is a serviced apartment in Om Kolthoom Hotel, in Zamalek. Plenty of restaurants, bars, supermarkets and handcraft shops in the surroundings

My first experience on Airbnb , and I can say I am a lucky person . I have spent three night's at Ahmed's apartment, it is located in a nice safe neighborhood . Cafes, restaurants , banks, western union shops , hair dressers are only few minutes away. The apartment is spacious, provides you with all that you need to enjoy your stay. A boutique gym is also inside the building and that is a plus . I would definitely say I paid less than what I got . And I will surely consider this apartment again when am back to Cairo.

Can't stop loving this place

This is an okay value for the price. My inquiries were responded to promptly. The space was clean, outdated in terms of style, and in an okay/deteriorating condition. The temperature within was cool at all times and the amenities provided were basic at best (no iron, the fridge wasn't cold). The check in process was easy. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay (4 days) because it was very cheap and I spent most of my time on excursions. FYI - The WIFI signal is not strong and it's also not secure...use caution when logging into their WIFI network.

I was pleased in my stay . The management and the honesty was great .

Nice place on the nile island of Zamalek. The apartments ard part of the Om Kolthoom Hotel. Standard and equipment is ok. Had some issues with the air condition in the first apartment, but Ahmed helped us very quickly to move in another apartment. In general, the communication with Ahmed was quick and easy. We had a good time.

exceeded expectations. .. I am from cairo and would say perfect location in Egypt.. Maged at reception very helpful .. will definitely be staying again

- The room was spacious and very comfortable - It was clean, well maintained and had an amazing view of the Nile - Gym facilities were likewise very nice - The wifi didn't work however (kept falling out) and I had to rely on mobile data

Ahmed was responsive and a great host. He was always quick to answer our messages and called to see how things were going and to make sure we are fine with the room. The hotel staff was also friendly.

Great area to be in

The apartment is located in zamalek with scenic view of Nile. Totally recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo!

Once again, it was a pleasure to stay at Om Kholtoum. Great location, very friendly staff, clean, charming, and great balcony with a Nile view.

Alles hat perfekt geklappt, nur das Internet hat nicht überall im Zimmer funktioniert. Gerne wieder!!

Perhaps one of the best locations in Cairo. However, this is a hotel room in Cairo, so beware of the noise, pollution, and odors. Good spot for single travelers on a budget, but not advised for comfort, luxury, or romantic stays. Read Julien's review for a more detailed description.

Ahmed is an excellent host! He is readily available to answer any questions you may have and is quick at responding to messages. The hotel exceeded our expectations...the staff was extremely nice and polite, the hotel well maintained with beautiful decor and character. The room was surprisingly very spacious and well equipped. Our stay in Cairo was fantastic!

Om kolthoom is een heerlijke plek.

Yasser is such a nice and helpful guy, the place deserves 5 stars or even more. it is clean, modern, and in the center of Zamalak, I have definitely enjoyed the time I spent there. High recommend for you guys

Beautiful place. Very sunny.

Yaas's place is absolutely gorgeous in central zamalek. Easy to get around - made even easier, as Yass has plenty of tips for sights to see and places to eat in Cairo! I would highly recommend!

Yasser's place is an oasis of calm in the chaos of Cairo! The photos don't do it justice. Everything is very nice and the flat has everything you'll need for your stay. It's in a great location in Zamalek with lot's of great cafes and restaurants nearby. Yasser is a fantastic host and I would definitely stay here again!!

The overall stay was great. I liked the furniture, the design of the apartment and the balcony is just splendid. The location was close to amenities. As expected. However, I would recommend minimal or no conversation with the security guys down in the building.

Yasser was an excellent host, very clear in his explanations and very helpful when you need information on Cairo or on the flat. The flat is beautiful, I have appreciated very much the terrace, the nuances in lights and the location was just perfect. I slept like a baby and had a lot of good moments. Thank you Yasser!

Yasser is the perfect host, in any respect: reliability, friendliness, helpfullness. His apartment is just beautiful - to the smallest detail. He really appreciates beuty in details and I am sure it will make a visit here wonderful for everybody. I really can recommend his apartment to world travellers, its in a very good area, stily, full of cool restaurants and meeting spots; but most of all: Yasser makes you feel welcome and helps with literally everything. THANK YOU again. Will certainly be back: Cairo was absolutetely fantastic. Everybody so kind, open hearted and positive.

Yasser is an excellent host and his apartment is very comfortable and pleasant to stay in. It has A/C in the living area and in the bedroom. Even though for most of my stay the temperature was in the low 40s, the A/C made the apartment very comfortable. Furnishing is IKEA minimalist thus giving a light, airy feel to the apartment. This is emphasized by the floor to ceiling windows looking out on a large deck and windows and doors to the other two decks. Yasser is an architect and it shows in his personal design touches. If, like me, you like to prepare your own meals, then this place is for you. The kitchen is a good size with a gas stove (love gas!) with a large fridge, and a good amount of counter space. For shopping go to Sunny Market (about a 15 minute walk). Alfa market is about 5 minutes away and Metro even closer, but it is definitely down-market and the service is lousy. 26th of July has a wide variety of shops, cafes, restaurants etc. either right on the street or along a side street. I have no hesitation in recommending Yasser and his apartment and intend to stay there myself next time I am in Cairo.

The host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Zizi was a fantastic host, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The apartment is very nice and sweet, with the room having everything you need. I would highly recommend for anyone to stay.

Great location in Dokki right off a major street with many shops and restaurants. The room is a little small but good enough for one person. Zizi was a very welcoming and friendly host.

Ahmed, Thank You for approving to host me. I Love Love Love that I apartment! So Much that I am even considering moving there one day. :) My view of the Nile was Sensational (14th floor) and I just wanted to be on that patio from the moment the sun came up until it went down again. I Loved the neighborhood, walking distance to everything, easy to catch a taxi out front, easy parking for friends to visit and the staff were warm and friendly - Oh and the bed and furniture were really very very very cozy and comfortable. Bathroom was immaculate and so was the kitchen.. Loved the music of Om Kalthoum playing in the halls. Truly a unique experience. I would definitely do it again.

Very nice place, in a lovely hotel. Bit noisy, but that's Cairo. Very nice and helpful staff !

Ahmed is very responsive and accommodating. The flat is in a wonderful location.

We stayed at Ahmed's place for more than two weeks. The apartment was adequate and we loved the area very much especially that we were surrounded with restaurants, shops and cafes. Cleanliness of the apartment could be improved. We also didn't have access to an iron or a hairdryer, but that was not a big problem and all in all we had a wonderful time there and we are looking forward to going back again.

Ahmed is efficient, communicative and pleasant.

This apt turned out to be great for our 3-week business plus pleasure visit to Cairo. The service was excellent and friendly, Ahmed kept in touch about any needs we might have, the neighborhood was lively and fun, the balcony and view of the Nile were a pleasure.

The flat is fine and big enough to stay in with up to 4 people. The flat is located in Zamalek which is an upscale part of Cairo, located on an island (like Manhatten). Communication and check in was good. Wifi not sooo good. The airbnb listing doesn't state that the appartment belongs to a hotel and is fully serviced as a hotel.

Good location, place well mantained, very friendly staff, excellent gym. The mattress could be more comfortable considering a long stay

撒哈拉的起点,尼罗河的开端 古老的Egypt惊鸿一瞥,让我完全颠覆了对阿拉伯国家的印象,不只有amazing的金字塔,更主要的是各种善良的人民,这里的经济情况确实不行,晚上的尼罗河两岸基本没有灯光,开车也是天天在开罗上演速度与激情[捂脸]不过并没有新闻说的那么不安全,就如同他们说的,西奈安全的地方是99%,只有1%的地方有冲突,然而媒体只报道没被zf控制的1%。另外对女性的开放程度也颠覆了我的想象,和平的绿教给人很多的自由,即使经济困难,埃及却是对叙利亚难民最友好的国家,让难民的孩子上一样的学校,给予一样的工作机会,发达国家对于他们资助才是解决难民最正确的途径,而非所谓西方世界难民营的mercy~最后感谢大兄弟Mohamed,没有让我在各种地方被坑到,起码付的每一磅都是自己认为值得的[机智]推荐这个地方,还会再来~

Yonis先生带我真真实实地领略了开罗的生活,我们去看了博物馆,金字塔和狮身人面像(因为我的时间较短),我们还去了大巴扎,吸了水烟然后do people watching。他很随和,作为一名专业导游,他几乎知道关于埃及的任何事情。我非常享受和他关于埃及政治以及埃及历史的讨论,而且因为他这个tour guide,我也确实省了很多被骗的机会。如果你有机会来埃及,我一定会推荐 Yonis 作为你的tour guide。 The room is big and clean, with Mr. Yonis being your tour guide, you will feel like you live like pharaoh there. He is a very easy-going and nice person and he knows everything about Egypt. He has taken us to see the pyramids, sphinx, bazaar and the museum(since I only have two nights, that was all I saw). As a professional guide, he will also save your trouble for bargaining with the camel people at the tourist sites. If you have a chance to visit Egypt, like any part of it, Mr. Yonis will guarantee you a fabulous time.

Yonis是个非常不错的房东兼向导,因为他,我认识了不一样的开罗。他聪明专业,对埃及历史非常了解,谢谢Yonis,从aswan回开罗,我还会找你。

I stayed here for a week. The hotel is quiet, clean and hassle-free, which counts for a lot in Cairo. The guys who run the bar and restaurant upstairs are lovely, and the roof terrace is brilliant with relatively cheap beer and a view across the whole city. The breakfast is a bit of a horror show, sure, but the place is really very cheap. The location is great, walk left and you are five minutes from local restaurants and an all-important off-license (just after the metro station, on the left hand side of the road). Zamalek (the nice bit) is half an hour walk up the Nile, Tahrir is maybe 20 minutes on foot. As for Mohammed, I was here on business so couldn't take him up on his offer to see the sites, but he is very friendly and organised and a good host. I will certainly stay here again, and would recommend it to others looking for a cheap, friendly and clean hotel in central Cairo.

Mohamed helped ensure i had the best time in cairo. He went out of his way to make sure i did all the highlights and was safe and spoiled the whole time. have no hesitstions about heading back and seeing more. Cheers brother.

Mohamed Yonis hat vom erden Schritt auf Ägyptens Boden bis zum verlassen auf alles geachtet. Er war sehr zuvorkommen und hat auch Individuelle Wünsche berücksichtigt.

Mohamed and company took care of all the logistics and facilitated all the transportation. He was always prompt in time and following up with us on any questions or issues that we have contacted him about... I would recommend him with no problem at all to friends and family

Thank you very much Mohamod. You were a lifesaver for all of us and you were always there to make our stay enjoyable. We didn't know what to expect during our visit to Egypt. The transportation was clean and safe. The hotel/resort was reasonable. The pool and dining was a plus. We all felt safe with you and the tour was exceptional! Your knowledge about the pyramids and the history of Egypt if amazing. We will return again and we hope you will be there to await us again. . You also were very patient with all of our family dynamics. Thank you!

The apartment has amazing Nile view. And there is a cofe and restaurant beside the building.

Perfect location and very friendly staff

Very centrally located, good place to stay in Zamalek

Location is amazing, service is great. Loved the place.

Great place.

It's nice little hotel in a very good location. value for money. They granted us early check-in and late check-out which made our stay much more easier as our flight was late at night. Ahmad wasn't very responsive and helpful, reception desk people were very nice and friendly people but couldn't really help us with other than hotel related stuff, for instance we needed a guide to pyramids.

Great location for restaurants and to start sightseeing from . Clearly one of the nicest areas of Cairo. Nader is very responsive and is great with details . He was very welcoming and shared his home freely. If you need a tour guide the company he referred me to was excellent .

The room is spacious, clean, with a large comfortable bed and as pictured. A washing machine is onsite, as is filtered water. The apartment is in one of Cairo's better neighborhoods which unlike much of Cairo is actually walkable. The building could use some attention, care and general cleaning. There is street noise but this is part of living in Cairo. Overall a good experience and I would stay again.

Todo perfecto!

Apartment is just like the photos. Place is super clean and room is really spacious!

Nader's place is great, the room is big comfortable and clean, in a nice area. Nader is waay too nice and helpful, he is a great host!

A very well-kept apartment in a great location. The room is just as shown in pictures, bed is comfy and there's lots of space and light. We enjoyed cooking breakfast in nader's kitchen and chatting with him in the evening. A warm and generous host... we hope to be back soon!

Great place to stay for Zamalek, as usual. Thanks Nader.

Nader' place is a clean, newly furnished and well equiped apartment. He has thoughtfully provided most things needed for a place to relax, even to stocking the fridge. The bedroom is large and the bed is comfortable. There are 3 bedrooms, so the bathroom is shared. Zamalek is a great location, central and easy walking to cafes and shops in the area, and not far from Cairo Tower and Egyptian Museum. We would stay here again and highly recommend Nader's rooms to friends.

The hotel room was huuuge and very clean! The staff was very friendly and responsive, and the breakfast was great! Everyone was so helpful! Definitely would stay here!

Amazing place, location is incredible , the nile view is gorgeous , big place which can hold a big family easily.

We had a very happy contented time at Zamalek and extended one night.

We enjoyed our stay with Ahmed. We stayed for over a month. Great location and service by the team. Below is more in depth of what we dealt with. Beds: The beds are comfortable and room service will provide clean sets of sheets every other day. Bathroom: the bathroom has dependable stream of hot water and nice pressure. Showering was good. Only setback was that the bathtub broke and was unfixable, but room service was up to clean up whenever needed. Cleanliness: Overall, the place was decently clean and what is expected. Few things may require an additional touch, but nothing major. Also, Egypt is generally dusty, and it is difficult to have a spotless apartment. This was not that bad. Living room: it is small—only a Love couch and a chair. We didn't have a dinette like in the pictures. The fridge is very small, so don't plan on getting a week of food to store. The room service was nice enough to get us an additional fridge. Location: great location. Few coffee shops and restaurants are right below and near by. There are a couple of groceries also close by. The view from the balcony is really nice. Room service: yes, there is room service. All is polite and clean. They speak little English but can get this done.

on a pas rencontre ahmed mais on a parle au telephone il etait gentil et fiable je recommande

The listing description was accurate, the location was perfect. Despite the fact that the kitchen was not equipped the team was very helpful and provided all required kitchen tools. The staff was excellent and the hotel was very clean. Small renovation like change in curtains would be required but certainly this place was worth staying with a very good value for money.

We were made to feel welcome both by the reception desk at the block of flats, and also by Ahmed, who rang to make sure everything was all right. The flat was as described, was comfortable, and the beds provided a good night's sleep. There was a helpful daily room service. The living room/kitchenette felt a little gloomy as there are no windows and no natural light, but the bedrooms are spacious, and both have access to the very pleasant balcony overlooking the Nile. The balcony has some very comfortable and elegant chairs and table. There are plenty of good restaurants and cafes in the area, and the Lebanese Kitchen next door is particularly good.

It is a nice place to be with family or large groups

Ahmed is great.

The place is conveniently located and the balcony view of the nile is awesome!

The place is very central, close to many facilities. The room was big enough and the staff very helpful and kind. I enjoyed my stay there and I will recommend this place. Thank you Ahmed!

Host Ahmed was great. Always attended to all enquiries. Great location for eating, coffee, shopping. Hotel is right on the nile. Wow fab outlook over the city & the nile. Very clean and the cleaners very pleasant. So a big thank you to them. On my turn to Cairo, hopefully very soon i would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ahmed for the short notice on making my booking and having an apartment available. Really appreciated.

All the staff were great especially the housekeeping uncle, the bell captain etc. I am sorry I couldn't meet Ahmed in person due to our hectic schedule. Overall, the stay was really pleansant. Great location with easy access to restaurants and other amenities even a bank.

Ahmed was a great host! although the room was not the one in the photos, it was still exactly what we were looking for. an unbelievable view of the nile, a prime location in cairo, and a beautiful, beautiful hotel to experience. Ahmed was so easy to get in contact with. he was savvy and had great suggestions. he checked in with a phone call more than once to see how we were doing. i will definitely be back.

Ahmed was extremely attentive to everything I needed. It should be noted, the space isn't really an apartment, rather a hotel suite with two bedrooms and a living room. I didn't try to cook in the kitchen area in the living room, but I'm not sure you could really cook there. It's enormous compared to what I would get for the same price at a hotel. The neighborhood is great for walking around, great food, centrally located. Just watch out for the traffic at rush hour...

Ahmed was great and the space was as described! Would come back!

是一个非常不错的风景,面对尼罗河。非常的棒

I was greeted with mangos in hand and sent off with shawarma. Megan, Akram and Rami couldn't be more gracious and hospitable hosts. They were extremely generous with their time and were able to let me in on the everyday lives they lead. They are cultured, driven, smart and definitely represented modern Cairo very well! Their apt in Zamarek (no reason to stay anywhere else) has the best panoramic views of Cairo and it's centrally located to the best night life and restaurants. Also very accessible (via Uber, easiest/cheapest way to move around in the city) to all attractions (The great pyramids, Khan al Khalili and Egyptian museum etc...). Sad that i couldn't stay longer... Sad they have set the bar so high for my other hosts.... and sad that i won't be saying Yalla bina!!! before the night begins... Insha'Allah, i will see you again my dear friends! hugs & kisses, Blue

Akram and Megan are one of the best hosts I've stayed with. The place is in one the best areas in Cairo, their balcony has one of the best views of the Nile. I'm definitely staying with them again next time I'm in Cairo.

I had a great stay in this apartment, it's actually better than the photos show. The views of the Nile and Cairo were incredible, you can even see the Pyramids from here, sunrise and sunset were beautiful to be honest! Megan is a great host. She's friendly, communication with her was smooth, and she gave me lots of advice and recommendations. The apartment was clean and comfortable and thankfully had good air conditioning which turned out to be very important as cairo is so hot. The location was great, I'd say Zamalek is the best place to stay in Egypt. Lots of restaurants, bars cafes etc within walking distance, whole area felt very safe. Would definitely fully recommend this place and will stay here again if I can.

The room is at floor 33, it had two different views (Zamalek is an Island inside the Nile) and a balcony. Location is great and the area is extremely safe, the building is surrounded by tons of embassies. Mini market, laundry, banks (for money exchange) are just downstairs. Many restaurants and coffees are a walking distance away from the building AC and hot water is available, they even provide towels. Megan and Akram are cool to speak with, I was alone but I didn't feel that. I do recommend to you to stay with them. Thanks

Thank you both for making my stay awesome Finishing 7 weeks in Egypt by staying in Megan and Akram's apartment was the icing on the cake for a great holiday Akram called before I was to arrive to make sure I was okay with how to get to the apartment The welcome at the door of the apartment was warm, friendly and inviting, which was the atmosphere there until I left Everything that they posted about their apartment was true, the view, the location, the room .... The room when I opened the door was clean, cheerful with pleasing colours. The towels were roiled upon the bed like a hotel, there was a welcome tray with coffee, tea and more. The balcony off the room was fantastic, the view and the balconies ambiance, which made enjoy coming back each day All in all it was, as I said, fantastic in all ways and I would highly recommend their place to anyone Again thanks

Awesome place the room is quite homely and slept like a baby in the room. Cairo doesn't sleep so if the window is open you'll keep hearing street noises.. which is kind of an experience if your a positive person. The room is very clean. Fast internet. Having stayed with different hosts, akram and megan are thoughtful to the little details. Hard to explain how exactly you just got to try it i guess...

I had a great time staying in Megan's flat in Zamalek. Other than the breathtaking view with access to the balcony (even my friends living in Cairo said the view was better than the one in the Cairo Tower), the room is air-conditioned, and the bed has soft sheets and a comfortable mattress. Megan was very hospitable and made me feel welcomed. She even gave me a list of recommendations to do around Zamalek and Cairo. Zamalek is also a perfect place to stay; it's a nice, quiet break from the busy-ness of Cairo while located in the middle of the city. It's nearby a bunch of cafes and restaurants as well as Brazil Street. I recommend staying in this flat, and I'll be sure to stay here again the next time I'm in Cairo.
