HORRIBLE IT IS A DUMP
The pictures on the website reflects a nice and clean exterior, outside, and a nice and clean apartment. The Listing stated English (speaking). The Listing stated an oven. The outside of the apartment building is a slum. The inside of the building is old and worn. Paint is peeling from the hallway walls. The apartment where I stayed had a large volume of roaches coming from a large hole in the bottom of a pipe. A large volume of roaches were on the shower bathroom floor. The bathroom door had paint peeling from the door. There were large cracks on the bathroom door. The apartment door did not have a safety latch. There was a chain on the door that was hanging down. The oven did not work. The Property Manager did not speak English he used a translation app that did not work.
Great place to stay and great people. Everyone was super kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend visiting here. I like my apartment a lot. I will be back to visit soon
The property is centrally located my 2nd staying here apartment is nice well worth the stay
Thank you

Decepcionante. No volvería
El apartamento no se parecía al de las fotografías. Reservamos un apartamento con vista despejada y en el que cabían hasta 7 personas y nos metieron en uno para 4 personas. Llegamos casi a medianoche y nos ofrecieron un apartamento oscuro cuya vista era la pared del edificio de enfrente en una calle muy estrecha. Nos quejamos y nos ofrecieron otro que olía mal. Volvimos al primero. Al día siguiente nos cambiaron a otro apartamento del mismo tamaño, donde nos quedamos.
La tapa del hueco de las persianas estaba rota, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba, hacía casi tanto frío como en la calle (que además era muy ruidosa hasta las 2 de la madrugada). Pedimos mantas extra y no obtuvimos respuesta.
La puerta de entrada al apartamento no cerraba con llave.
El apartamento no está en la dirección que se publicita, sino en un callejón.
Los enseres de cocina eran muy escasos.
Lo único positivo es la limpieza del apartamento (no del portal ni el ascensor, que estaban muy sucios) y la ubicación para visitar el Museo y las calles comerciales.
Es justo lo que buscaba para vivir la aventura en El Cairo, apartamento típico en un barrio típico en pleno downtown rodeado de negocios.
Ha sido excelente, un barrio típico con gente muy respetuosa de los que me llevo muy buenos recuerdos sobre todo de los camareros.
Evel trato en el Joy apartaments no puede ser mejor, Nody que es la encargada está muy pendiente de lo que necesitamos, es muy comunicativa y desde luego que le estoy muy agradecido y tiene todo mi respeto por lo que hace. Gracias Nody de nuevo, vales mucho.
Quise vivir una aventura sin agencias, sin choferes y sin lujos y he cumplido altamente mis expectativas, los que quieran lujos en El Cairo y perderse lo fantásticos que son las personas que se vayan al Hilton.
Saludos.
