However, my stay was marred by a few issues, including a lack of adequate communication from the staff and some discomfort with the room's condition. Overall, while it offered a unique experience, there are definitely areas that need improvement. 😕🏨

The riad is centrally located in Marrakech, making it easy to walk to the main square. However, the alleyways leading to the riad can be a bit intimidating at night due to the crowds and lack of light, which I found slightly unnerving.
