peaceful retreat attentive team really good holiday
this riad seemed like a peaceful retreat from the lively streets. the team working here is wonderful and attentive. mourad, azddine, and mohamed were pretty good (i already miss our chats). nourdine, ilyas, and abderhman helped make my holiday really good.
the location near the market made parking a bit challenging. navigating the daily market traffic was sometimes difficult. i found the narrow streets a little inconvenient.

world class customer service
I appreciated that the staff were amazing. they picked me up from the taxi drop off and were available 24/7 for anything i needed. the customer service was world class. That really set the tone for my stay.
the access to parking was impractical. there was a daily market , made it difficult to get to the riad by car. i would consider an alternative transportation option.
