Beautiful apartment with services
I changed our accommodation to this one based on negative reviews of another (cheaper) place nearby. The price-quality of this one was marvelous. The apartment is very clean and beautiful and met our Western standards, good and clean beds and toilet and shower with hot water etc. The host, Khaled and his brother and cousin were very hospitable and helpful. Free coffee and tea and even some food (in addition to the breakfast). Overall we were happy with the stay. The apartments are high up and so far there is no elevator so take this into account if you have physical problems or limitations, for us it was no problem. The view to the pyramids from the rooftop is amazing.
The place also offers tours and services with Khaled as guide. We took a daytour of Giza with camels + Saqqara (oldest pyramid and old kingdom tombs) + Memphis. We had a good time but also some mixed feelings about the trip and service. On the one hand, Khaled proved helpful, flexible and accommodating to our wishes, and this was in accordance with his emphasis of prioritizing our happiness and being there to help us and give us the best experience. On the other hand, there were some unpleasant surprises on the tour. If you want an official guide or trained Egyptologist guide, book one ahead. If you take the camel tour, know that the money goes to the camel owner not the man accompanying you and the camels; he will ask to be paid separately at the end (a substantial tip).
Overall a very good place to stay.
