Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ain Shams

I can't say enough good things about our stay at Houseboat65. I was there with five other folks - a couple & their two kids (8 & 11) and another single person. We had the three apartments on the second floor — perfect. I got lucky and slept in a gorgeous three-room space surrounded by windows, which filled the room with light. We spent a lot of time on the Nile-facing porches, chatting and having cocktails. It felt like our own little slice of calm and peace in busy Cairo. Jerome and the amazing Marie (we love you, Marie!) were beyond responsive: anything we needed (and that wasn't much: these spaces are well-stocked) or any time we needed assistance with luggage, etc., they were there in a flash. Marie served as our driver and top-notch tour guide for two days and wow - we felt so comfortable and well-taken care of. She knows the city so well and didn't hesitate to take us to some very far-flung locations. We can't WAIT to tell our friends about our stay and hope we get to come back!

5 stars amazing place .

This spacious clean villa was way beyond our expectations. It’s located near a grand mall 7 mins /walking distance. Safe and well maintained, gated secure compound. Omar is a fabulous host. Not only was he swift in his responses to any question or concern we had at his lovely place, but also helped us with providing a maid at the last minute when ours got sick, and booked us a bus at a reasonable cost that’s safe and clean for our next excursion! The bedrooms are super clean - with four seasons white cotton linens. Villa is split in two which is awesome for large families or for privacy with large groups. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. We are definitely coming back especially after making a new friend. Thank you to a great host. Great memories indeed 😇

My family and I had a great time staying at Ahmed’s place. The place was spacious and very comfortable and has a great view. It is very close to some wonderful restuarants which are all about 5 - 10 walk away. Ahmed was a great host and very prompt in responding to any questions I had. Definately worth the money. One point to raise and this is beyond Ahmed's control they closed the walk way along the Nile. Appears they doing some work so you could not use the walk way right next to the Nile. This did not destract from the great time we had. Would recommend this place.

It was a beautiful experience being with at the place . I was very understanding and the place was full of life and positivity. The staff was very cooperative and wonderful.

Thank you very much for the wonderful hospitality

We spent a good time in this place . It was easy to access and we enjoyed. it was close to all types of transportation clean and beautiful.I believe if you try it once you will be back again. Thank you

Awesome accommodation! Highly recommended! Olivia is a very responsive and friendly host The accommodation was equipped with everything and I could feel as comfortable as a home. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Cairo. Thank you Olivia for everything.

Every thing you need u will find it you don’t go to buy anything really like 5 stars hotel

Thanks Nour for being so accommodating at short notice and making the self check-in process so easy/smooth. At first I was nervous since this was a new listing but the apt. was nice/modern, clean, matched the description/photos and the host was friendly and responsive - even late at short notice as my plans changed. The spot is in a great location in Heliopolis, a nice quiet residential area but easy quick walking distance to everything needed like small markets, restaurants and shops on El Hegaz street. Overall a very chill/easy going experience so I would definitely rent this spot again and recommend this host and apt. for locals and visitors alike. Thanks again Nour and Dina!!

Amazing-5/5 stars I had a wonderful stay at this place! The room was spotless, peaceful, and had everything I needed for a comfortable trip. Mr. Adham was incredibly kind, friendly, and accommodating—his hospitality made the experience even better. I’d 100% stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and enjoyable place

responsive host, went out of his way to help

Again, I had a nice stay at Hani's place, great large apartment in a lovely neighbourhood.

I had an absolutely incredible stay at this Airbnb in Cairo! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and outstanding service. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable two-week stay. The attention to detail was exceptional—cozy furnishings, fast Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked kitchen made it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, offering easy access to all the major attractions while still being in a peaceful and safe neighborhood. Waking up to stunning city views every morning was an added bonus! The host was beyond accommodating, always available for any questions and providing fantastic local recommendations that truly enhanced my experience. If you're visiting Cairo, I can't recommend this place enough. Five stars just aren’t enough to express how amazing this stay was. I’ll definitely be back!

The place is the best place I have ever lived in. It will be my favorite residence, God willing. Bassem is one of the best people I've ever dealt with. He's a wonderful, friendly person.

Great apartment in a centralized location in Egypt. Onsi is a wonderful host. Apartment is very clean and has everything you would need. Well heated and very spacious. It has incredible views and is very close to great food options that open late. It’s in the same building as a brand new coffee shop. It’s in a great/safe part of town and is very secure. Definitely will be back.

Thank you so much for having us It was such a nice place we enjoyed our stay We will go there again for sure Very clean , private and nice Thank you

Waleed was a perfect host from the moment i booked online to the moment he drove me to the airport. He responeded very quickly within 10 minutes to the booking application. My Plane arrived at 2 am and he offered to pick me up that late/early from the airport and drove me himself to the appartment with a very resonable price. So the check in is very flexibale. The appartment is big and clean, i could have my privacy. Waleed kept proactively asking if i needed anything, sending me pictures of his wife's cooking and offering to send me homemade food. He kept Offering to drive me whereever i needed,. I needed to exchange money but didnt get around to, so he gave me egyption money to use until i could exchange money a couple of days later. At the end he drove me to the airport himself and wished me a good trip. Thank you Waleed for such a great hospitality!!

It was the best place I've ever stayed in Cairo. Large apartment which contains everything you could need. I was so glad to find sun screen as I had run out, and shampoo too. The bed was super comfortable and I loved the balcony. I felt truly at home. The host is really friendly and helpful and even left bottled water, coffee, biscuits and other goodies for me. There is a very nice doorman called Mohammed who takes the trash, helps with the lift etc. and it feels safe to know he and his family are in the building. Safe and good area with restaurants and shops. There are so many nice touches, even art work by the host on the walls, green plants and tasteful decor. I was sad to leave!

Dr. Wafaa is a very good person and I love her so much! I give her 5 stars because there are only five stars on the platform——for me I will give her 10 stars,100 stars,1000 stars or even more! As three Chinese girls who came to Egypt for the first time, Dr.Wafaa provided us a lot of help and she was always at her service. We stayed here for only 4 months but our heart will stay here forever. I sincerely wish her good health and longevity. Thank you!
