The location is great for exploring. the host was helpful. breakfast was decent. Mint tea on arrival was a plus. i felt it was value for money.
I found one slight issue. Some of the towels looked a bit faded from use.

Excellent stay within the Medina

convenient location fresh juice rooftop view
The riad location is convenient within the medina near the mosque. Waffa showed us places and restaurants for meals. Breakfast included fresh orange juice. I could also order an omelette. The rooftop offered a good view.
The riad imposed dirham payments. This involved a fixed exchange rate.
