The property was beautiful, clean and very close to old town.
Communication with Hamdy (pre-arrival) was great. The day before arrival I started getting messages from Ivan, instead of Hamdy, with no warning. I quickly found that Ivan was not aware that we had arranged a chef for one evening at the house. Ivan then had a chef contact me, who said he was booked but would try to assist. After 8 messages back and forth with the booked chef and Ivan, we ended up canceling as it was beginning to be too much work for something I thought had been arranged weeks in advance.
Checkout was smooth, but once again, poor communication with Ivan. I was messaging with him the morning of checkout to see if we could leave our bags on property for an extra hour. He graciously agreed, but then showed up at checkout and was surprised that we weren’t ready to fully leave. I had to show him our text exchange that took place 2 hours before.
Overall, I would definitely stay again as the property and proximity to everything is great. Compared to other hosts on this trip, the communication with host needs improvement.
