The most amazing stay !!!

This place was an absolute dream and looked even better than the photos! I was lucky to spend a couple of nights here with my husband and two childrens. We travel a lot and this was by far our best Vrbo experience! The Houseboat was filled with beautiful touches, the plates and cups, the bedsheets, artsy decorations, everything was perfect. Paola and Jerome were extremely helpful and responsive. Their recommendations definitely changed the way we visited Cairo and later on Fayoum Oasis. The boat tour also provides such a memorable experience. It was so wonderful to be so centrally located. Mohamed the porter was adorable and would stop a taxi with counter for us whenever we needed one. The Air con heats and cools the whole apartment in a few minutes. The shower was hot and had a great pressure. A one of a kind experience!!
