Christopher
The unit was really cozy with a comfortable seating area, making it feel like a home away from home. I loved relaxing in the living room after a long day of exploring. The fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave was a game-changer. We were able to prepare quick meals and save some money on dining out. The views of the city from our unit were absolutely gorgeous. It was a treat to wake up to such a wonderful sight every morning. The addition of air conditioning in the apartment was a relief. It kept us cool and comfortable throughout our stay, even in the hot Cairo weather.
Personally, I found the stovetop in the apartment a bit tricky to use. It took a while for me to figure out the settings, but others might not have any issues with it.

Waking up on the Nile every morning was simply magical - a jaw-dropping experience. The balcony with a cup of tea was my favorite spot, offering a stunning view. The property caretakers were thoughtful, responsive, and attentive. Despite the initially confusing location, they provided an amazing video guide, leading me right to the entrance. The property felt safe with 24-hour security. In-house meals were a delight; I highly recommend the traditional Egyptian breakfast. The Loft Room was beautifully decorated with thoughtful amenities. Communication with the hosts was easy via WhatsApp. Conveniently located near shops, museums, and markets, getting around was a breeze. a phenomenal stay that exceeded all expectations!

We had the most incredible stay at Houseboat65 on the Nile. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing fresh fruit, an iron, and even earplugs. The interior design was quirky and charming, and the riverside mooring was central yet peaceful. We loved sitting on the balcony every morning, enjoying the beautiful views. The staff were kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Houseboat65 for a unique and memorable experience in Cairo.

The location of this unique accommodation was perfect for our Christmas getaway. Situated on the river, we were treated to stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The tastefully designed room and the balcony overlooking the water added to the charm. the self-check-in process was hassle-free, and the hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay.
While the location was idyllic, we found that getting around on foot was quite challenging. Many of the nearby attractions and amenities required a short Uber ride, which, fortunately, was inexpensive.

It made it so convenient to prepare my own meals. The view of the city from the room was absolutely breath-taking. It added a special charm to my stay. The air conditioning in the apartment was a lifesaver, especially during the hot Cairo summer.
Personally, I found the stovetop in the apartment a bit difficult to use.
