Stay in the Heart of Historic Cairo (long-term OK)

This unique home is located in the heart of Islamic Cairo, adjacent to downtown. It has been tastefully furnished and features stunning panoramic views of Cairo's Mamluk and Ottoman-era minarets. The house is just a couple of minutes walk from al-Hussein and al-Azhar mosques, inviting guests to experience this part of the city in a far more intimate way than tourists typically have the chance to. The flat is available for longer stays for researchers. Please send me a note to inquire! The flat has one bedroom with a vintage iron double bed and A/C + heater, a bright living room with a panoramic west-facing view (incredible sunsets!) that can accomodate three people on three futons, a study with a balcony, a small kitchen that has everything you need to cook and make tea+coffee, bathroom, and foyer. It is located three stories up on a cobblestone pedestrian street with stunning views - of the historic monuments and local neighborhood, and panoramic views of the city. The bathroom has a shower but not a bathtub. There is good hot water and water pressure around the clock. The whole flat is for the guests. I am happy to arrange for an airport pickup to bring you directly to the flat and/or a private car + driver for any far excursions during your stay. Most buildings in the area were built between the 12th and 14th centuries. The UNESCO heritage site coined an "open-air museum" and centered at al-Muizz street is barely a 2-minute walk from the flat. Al-Hussein mosque, and Khan-el-Khalili market are also in the neighborhood. The area surrounding the flat is not gentrified and just off the beaten path - still full of small businesses, bakeries, fruit and vegetable vendors, and street food stalls. The zone is technically a pedestrian zone but cars can enter, which is especially convenient when arriving or leaving to the airport with luggage. Al-Hussein Mosque and Khan-el-Khalili market are a very short walk (about 2-5 minutes) within the historic city. There is also an Arabic language school located 2 minutes down the road offering group and private lessons for those looking to learn the language. From the main city gates, it is very easy and inexpensive to get a taxi or an Uber to go anywhere in Cairo. Downtown is just a short drive (5 minutes or less depending on traffic) from Al-Hussein mosque. The nearest metro station is Attaba. Coming from the airport, this area is easy to reach as it arrives immediately before one enters downtown Cairo. We can arrange a transfer from the airport (highly recommended, because there's no hassle and it costs about the same as taking a taxi from the airport). Discounted long-term rental is available for researchers, mature students, and artists. Please send a direct message if interested.
