Looking for local co-host in Cairo (Maadi)

[Eiad1]

My mom and I have been successfully running an AirBNB in Maadi for the last two years. We both live in Canada and have worked with a local co-host. He can no longer be the co-host so we are looking for a new one. The main duties are check-in (we have in-person check in and want to continue this), communicating with guests after they check in, and responding to issues. We already have a cleaner and we handle the bookings and all guest communication pre and post booking. Does anyone have any advice or leads? This is the property: airbnb.ca/h/modern-maadi-apartment

Hi @Eiad1 

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you've built a great setup between Canada and Maadi. Finding the right local co-host is key, especially with in-person check-ins and guest needs on the ground.

If you're open to hybrid support, we offer virtual daily or 24/7 guest communication and issue management.

While we don’t handle in-person check-ins ourselves, many hosts combine our service with a local key handoff person or smart lock setup to keep things smooth.

Feel free to reply here if you’d like to chat more or explore how we could support your hosting while you find the right local partner.

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately we need someone local.

Hi @Eiad1 😊, 

Thank you for asking this question here!

How did you find your co-host in the past?

I also recommend taking a look at this link 👉 How to find and become an experienced Co-Host on Airbnb? 

[Eiad1]

Hi Elisa - it was someone we knew before. Unfortunately, we don't know anyone else who can do it. 

The link you sent doesn't seem to apply in Egypt.

Hi @Eiad1 😊, 

Thank you for letting me know.

Another way to find a co-host is to connect with hosts in your area and ask if they know anyone, you can do this through our 👉 Local Host Clubs.

Let me know how it goes!

[Eiad1]

Thanks @Elisa - I don't think there is one for Egypt unless I am missing something.

Have you asked for recommendations on the local host group for the area your listing is based in @Eiad1 

[Eiad1]

I don't think there is a local group for Egypt if you're talking about the same thing Elisa mentioned earlier. 

I did post in the Facebook group without much success.

Hi @Eiad1 😊, 

Thank you for letting me know!

I’m tagging a few hosts from Egypt here, feel free to connect with them: @Dalal8, @Abdelkader21, @Amro35, @Kamal210, @Shady2 and @Elena4390.

Don’t hesitate to let me know how it goes.
