Adorable Bungalow in Bonnycastle
Great stay in this bungalow chosen due to historical relationship to the Bonnycastle family. Perfect location to access bars and restaurants and near a stunning historical cemetery where Mohammed Ali is buried. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable house
Check in was a pain in the neck. Had to contact property manager for check in instructions & they were incorrect. Took a bit to get in. The house was not clean. Food was on the carpets.
The house was comfortable & in a great location. The management company was quick to respond when we were having trouble checking in.
