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 Eiad 😊,

Yes, I remember our conversation from last year — it’s great to hear from you again!

I actually have team members in many parts of the world, including multiple reliable ones in Cairo, so I’d be happy to help you find the right co-host in Maadi. If you could share a bit more about the level of support you’re looking for (e.g., check-ins, maintenance follow-up, guest management, etc.), I can recommend someone suitable from my local team.

Looking forward to helping you out!

Warm regards,

Great thanks @Shady2  - 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. If you have anyone suitable, please ask them to send me a DM here or send me their contact information and I can contact them.

Hi @Eiad1  😊,

Thanks for clarifying the responsibilities — that’s very helpful! I actually have several team members in Cairo, including some covering the Maadi area. They’re all part of my operations team, and I personally handle all coordination and agreements to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Before I proceed, could you please share what your offer is for the co-host role? That will help me match you with the most suitable person from my team.

Warm regards,
Shady Ibrahim

With all respect @Shady2 , I am looking for a local co-host rather than to deal with your company. I don't think there is alignment here.

Hi @Eiad1,

I completely understand and truly appreciate your honesty and clarity. No worries at all — it’s always best to find the setup that feels most comfortable and aligned with your hosting goals.

If you ever need any advice, guidance, or recommendations along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to help fellow hosts, whether or not we work together directly.

Wishing you all the best in finding the right local co-host and continued success with your property in Maadi!

Warm regards,

Shady Ibrahim

Hi @Shady2 😊, 

thank you for helping our host.

Have you been able to connect with him?

[Eiad1]

Hi @Elisa  - I've talked to Shadi before. He has an airbnb company that manages properties in collaboration with local cohost but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a local co-host. 

I did post in the local Cairo group but haven't found a person yet.

Hi @Eiad1 😊, 

Thank you for your kind reply.

I understand better now.

I wish you all the best with this! Please keep us updated on how it goes in the future.

Hi @Eiad1 I’m really interested in your post! Could you share a bit more about what you’re looking for in a co-host and what the role involves? 

Thank you.
