that we gotthe deposit back and the worker we talked to was polite and helpful even if his English was limited

the manager's attitude was completely unacceptable, first afteri asked him three times for the.exact location or address he gave us just.the street number and later the google location of the upscale winter palace Hotel (200 metres North). our driver had problems withthe police which resulted in.us coming 30 minutes later than arranged originally planned, i.informed the manager via WhatsApp 40 minutes before hand of us arriving 30 minutes lafer (we've been using it since the beginning of our communication), we arriveto.the location given by the.manager and the securityguards and managers (4 people) say they havenever heard.of that apartment, nobody answers tje.phone for 20 minutes, tried 8 times, also tried WhatsApp, called and sent messages, security guard said we're probably getting scammed. after that we finally established contact and 10-15 minutes later the worker.comes to.pick us up (the “brother”). 35 minutes wasted in.frustration. the.worker saw me, my wife, 5 year old son, 65 and 68 year old parents on the street talking to two Chinese girls who had serious issue with their driver and reported thatto he.manager who.automatically assumed there will be 7 of us sharing three beds to save money. we walkin to he apartmentand see signs sayingthatwe needto.pay extra for electricity, pay extra for the internet, there's one 1cm thick roll of toiletpaperin the apartment so we assumed thatwillbe chargedextratoo, internet doesn'twork, and the workertellsme there's 50 dollars deposit (I've never heard of this practice on.booking.com or airbnb before and we travel abroad 3 times a year), almost the equivalentof a.two night's stay, we just camefrom 3* beachfront hotel in.Alexandra where we paid the same but here's no.swimmingpool, no beach.and no.allyou caneat buffet, rooms are small, the second floor windows don't shut properly, there's so.much noise all thetime, nobody.

Good central location for East Bank. Reasonable value for money. Very attentive owner and local honest manager, and made to feel very welcome. Very clean. Slept well in the twin room. Nicely tiled bathroom.

The double room at the front would benefit from double glazing noise reduction.

The best thing is the location right in the heart of the city so you can walk to most attractions. The apartment had been well prepared so it looked good on arrival. Air-conditioning in all main rooms. Helpful owner, who lives in Germany, communicates readily. Local agent there to open up and help.

No mention under property’s policies that you have to pay for electricity. Metre readings taken at start and on leaving. Time spent at end disputing bill on the telephone with the person responsible for collecting payments. He tried to charge a much higher price per unit than the official rate. One of the single beds appears to have bed bugs which bite exposed skin.

Centrally located, has easy access to most places. Kitchen is good and well equipped.

Since the apartment is centrally located, it is too noisy even at 12 o clock in the night. WiFi connectivity in the rooms is very poor. I was okay with all of this, but the fact that we have to pay for electricity usage is an absolute rip-off. This was nowhere mentioned during the booking process. I agreed to pay and checked the meter reading when we checked in and when we checked out. We have used 10 units(this is confirmed by the caretaker as well) of power. This will hardly cost 10 Egyption pounds. But I was asked to pay 100 Egyption pounds. It is not about the money, It is about getting cheated , which is annoying.

location is great almost everything is around you

nothing

The apartment is compact but has everything you need, including washing machine and coffee machine. The host arranged for someone to meet us who was very responsive.

The apartment in Luxor was tastefully and modernly furnished and it was clean. Very nice were the Egyptian paintings on the front door. Bananas and water were offered as welcome. It is located near the Nile Promenade and you can reach boats and good restaurants very fast. A friendly Egyptian named Mostafa gave us the code for the wifi and offered his help for nearly everything. The whole apartment was cool due to Egyptian winter. But Mostafa provided us with 2 radiant heaters, which was sufficient. He also met us at at our departure even early in the morning. It was easy to get a taxi to Luxor airport, where a friend of Mostafa helped us at the check-in. I recommend parking 1 block down the street towards the police control station.

The only main disadvantage: one sleeping room facing the street is very noisy till midnight. But good earplugs helped us. The wifi was very poor.

good location, ideal for shops and in walking distance of Aboudi’s coffee shop. comfortable and well kept. had everything we needed.

front bedroom window didn’t close properly so it was noisy at night but this didn’t bother us. could do with a few few more cooking pots.
