Guestbook
February 11th 2008 From the moment we contacted Catherine online she has been nothing but accomodating to make sure our trip to Egypt was most memorable. She arranged transfers to and from the airport and helped in booking our tours. She made everything easy for us. The neighbours were friendly and helpful and the apartment is located in a safe neighbourhood and this allowed us to tour Giza during the day and at night. The apartment is spacious and nicely decorated with modern appliances and furniture giving it a homely feel. You will enjoy watching the sun set behind the Pyramids and viewing the light and sound show from the roof top patio that you have exclusive use of. Many Thanks to Tarek, our tour guide and driver whom Catherine recommended, we found him very accomodating and attentive to our schedule and needs. We highly recommend staying at Pyramids View Apartment.
18th February 08 Can't say enough about the hospitality & warmth of Catherine, everything was "no problem" and she went out of her way to help us with any request. The apartment is lovely, new and clean and the roof is a little peice of Magic. The locals are great and a walk around is a must. Will recommend to anyone i know coming to Egypt. "Ireland Rocks" Very impressed about the quality of the apartment and it's location. It's like a little palace infront of one of the seven wonders of the ancient world . Catherine is very friendly and totally helpful as were the locals we met. Will definitely recommend this place and will surely come back. "Alloz les Bleus"
21st April 08 Catherine's initial response to the enquiry was prompt. She was most happy to answer any questions i had. What a delightful apartment this is, i was really overwhelmed at my 1st sight of it. I was impressed by how clean and immaculate it was on our arrival. Its very well equipped with all modern appliances and well needed Air Condition and a Jacuzzi and a beautiful view of the Pyramids. What more can one ask for.... 12 nights of Bliss were spent here by us,... what more can i say ....... Wow... Wow...Wow, love it, can't wait to come back. Beware you people who want to rebook as we could be fighting over this apartment, without a doubt would recommend to anyone. Many Thanx for your warmth & Hospitality Catherine, we will see you soon.

We were here for 8 days, 8 days we will never forget, our stay here to say in one word "incredible"! Cairo is a city with many faces, each part of the city is worth seeing, the people are so friendly and helpful, the apartment was superb, very clean and tidy. The view from the roof top is amazing, Catherine is a very warm and helpful woman, she was always there for us whenever we had any questions and she will tell you everything you need to know. She can help with booking the tours, the tour to Memphis and Saqqara was amazing and the guide Tarek is the best, he knows very much about Egypts history and culture and he will do everything to ensure your tour is one you never forget. Tarek, thankyou so much for all the help and showing us all the sites. Catherine, thankyou so much for the incredible week, for all the help, we will never forget you and when we visit Egypt again we know we can contact you. Wilbert. Bert. Saskia & Margriet

You are here so you will know its a very lovely apartment owned by a very nice lady called Catherine. The great thing about the apartment is its position in a real Arab community, much better than some sanitised international hotel, just enjoy what it has to offer. You can get alnmmost anywhere, central Cairo, Carrefour Supermarket, the Citadel, Saqqara for anything between 30EGP - 40EGP depending on how hard you bargain.

We have all had an absolutely fantastic experience of a holiday, this has been largely due to the expert guidance and hospitality of Catherine who has been a font of knowledge. The apartment was extremely comfortable and the conveneinece of the utilities can not be overstated. The use of the mobile has been very helpful and Catherine has called back when she has received a missed call , very efficiently. A big Thankyou Catherine for making our stay so pleasantly memorable. Paul, Carol, Emily & Rosella
