    Parking in the location was a bit of a hassle and lack of mosquito nets on the windows forced us to close them all the time

    The place has everything a guest would need. Extremely clean and comfortable. Elegant and decorations are relaxing.

    I wasn't aware that the electricity to the building is switched off for an hour every day between 6pm and 7pm. I came back to the apartment and had to climb to the 9th floor by torchlight. If I had known, I would have stayed out for longer, or come back earlier!

    The apartment was comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. The iron and ironing board were a nice touch. The view was amazing. I would stay here again if I come back to Alexandria.

    The apartment is big and nice. It has a nice view and the building is equipped with elevator. The communication (in English) with the host was always smooth and they were very helpful with tips on what to do and always ready to help. The apartment is ubicated in a residential area, just a stroll (maybe 10 minutes walking) to get to the city center. The only thing ist hat the apartment is not equipped with a hair dryer so my suggestion for next visitors is to bring your own.

    - Seems that air conditions regular summer maintenance did not happened before our stay as we faced water leaking from living area and the second bedroom air conditions which required a phone call with owner agent and he repair it after one night from our stay while we were out of the property. - Elevator plastic chip did not work most of times (it worked only 3 times during our one week stay) so, one of us used to get on stairs, then when he reach the 9 floor or the ground floor he calls the others on mobile phone asking them to get in the elevator then he calls the elevator from elevator panel to get the others down or up. - Mid of the week they informed us that elevator will be off from 5 pm to 7 pm on daily bases. - There is a need to place curtain on living area window need for privacy and to eliminate sun reflection on TV screen during midday time. - Bad smell is coming out of kitchen pluming, i checked it and it seems that the plumer who set sink plume connections did know the importance of doing swivel-p trap in pluming connection tube to prevent bad smell from going back from building main pluming tube inside the property. - The second bedroom does not contain wardrobe. - Ironing table is not usable.

    - Great location in the center of old Alexandria districts. - Nice Decor. - Good types of appliance "Big TV led screen with free satellite channels, automatic clothes washer, small fridge, small microwave, gas surface cooker, gas water heater for bathroom and kitchen". - Good electricity setup "main electricity board include over and low voltage protection unit with auto recovery". - Good Internet WIFI connection. - Good beds which provide a good sleep quality.

    Good apartment accommodation in a convenient location , but with a local garbage problem.

    The kitchen was not well supplied to actually cook but the microwave was useful for heating up restaurant takeaways. The couches were only 15 cm off the ground, so not comfortable for those unused to them. BUT walking to and from the apartment was awful. Near the front door the garbage littered street extended along a path to some steep stairs, also littered with garbage. There was a large garbage (tip), cement walls open on one side, where raw garbage was thrown. Many cats and dogs rummaged for edibles and many rats could not have been far away. Egypt has a huge garbage problem but this example sickened us.

    The location was terrific as to things in Alexandria but horrible in it immediate location (below). The furnishings were attractive and the view very good. We were reasonably happy with everything and Nada's attentions and suggestions

    The only problems with the place were the water pressure in the shower and the neighbors. The water pressure in the shower was weak and that was a little inconvenient. However, there was constant hot water running. As for the neighbors, I know it is out of the management's control but they were very loud and at one instant played very loud music at night while cleaning their apartment and the common corridor.

    We loved that the place was located close to a popular street and there were plenty of food options close by as well as many sightseeing spots and tourist places. It was a nice and calm area. It was very easy to order an Uber and go just about anywhere. There were also a ton of kiosks closeby which we used to get a quick snack and drinking water. There was also a Costa Coffeeshop about 700 meters away from the apartment which was great.

    This was a heart-opening apartment. It was just perfect. Pictures were as of actual, and what was more special were the bedrooms. We just loved the apartment. We wished to stay more than just a night in this beautiful apartment. Building is surrounded by different shops. We just walked to Carrefour, which is around 10 minutes walk. The view from the apartment was amazing; it is overlooking the city.

    If you want to be close to the coastline, citadel etc you might wanna choose somewhere closer. Also the price for the night isn't cheap.

    The apartment was very clean, many facilities such as a washing machine. A bit far from the coastline but the street 2 minutes down the building was full of restaurants and places to go eat and have a drink.

    This is not in the hosts control, but it should be noted that the street the apartment is on is full of trash and smells bad. There is also a lot of construction happening on it, and we were awoken at about 3:00 am one night to the sound of drills. Unfortunately, as two women traveling without a man, we also felt uncomfortable with the man who handled our check in and check out process. We exchanged WhatsApp information in order to coordinate our arrival and departure (as per the policy of the property). My friend then got several messages a day from the employee, averaging about one every four hours. These were not related to the apartment- he asked her about our plans and joked that he would go out with us one night. This excessively familiar communication from a man who we knew to have a key to our apartment felt eerie. I would caution the hosts to have a conversation with their staff about proper etiquette when communicating with female travelers. Even if he did not mean any harm, it should be noted that this sort of messaging can make women feel unsafe- especially in a city where we didn't know anyone.

    The apartment looks exactly like the pictures on booking.com. The owners made a lot of clever choices for decor, and everything looks brand new. All three AC units work great! The view is spectacular. The building the flat is in is well maintained, and the elevator works well. The flat was also walking distance from several sights we wanted to see.

    There was a lovely new washing machine but no real way to hang out any washing that we could see. Perhaps this could be explained somewhere or a clothing stand supplied.

    The communication prior to staying was excellent. Two gentlemen met us at the pinned location and helped us with our suitcases to walk up some stairs and enter the smaller streets where the hotel was situated. They were friendly and helpful and gave us all the necessary information for staying there. We loved the decor on the lounge with the walls covered in fabric and the lovely detailing behind the bed in the main bedroom. The bunks were really sturdy for the children. Some information about the sights in the local area were supplied. We requested a half an hour change in check out time at the end and the property was really accommodating.

    One of the beds had hair in it, presumably from the previous occupants. In all fairness, it's possible that the bed looked untouched enough to keep the sheets on it between stays - but nonetheless, it was somewhat offputting.

    The room itself is a gem, hidden away in a building that you'd never find on your own. Like magic. The facility staff will meet you at a coffee shop to show you the way, after which you uncover the amazing room and beautiful view. Very special spot to hideaway while taking the time to get to know Alexandria. Highly reccommend! We also arrived to Alexandria after midnight, yet the staff had no issue meeting with us to show us the way. Excellent, really.

    the kitchen was well equipped. the only thing missing was a coffee pot but if you are a fan of instant coffee you could make that there was a bit of pressure to return by check out to collect my bags. this was disappointing since my arrival time the day before was delayed due to flight cancellation so I was hoping to spend the entire day touring Alexandria before leaving but I was rushing around on check out day

    I liked the decor of the apartment, the view, the location, the host and the kitchen it would be very comfortable for a family of 4
