underwhelming stay with basic amenities
delicious evening mealmissing electricitysteep hill
the evening meal tasted delicious after a long day of travel.
the room lacked electricity and relied solely on candles. reading was impossible after 9 pm because of the dim lighting. i also found carrying my luggage up the steep hill to the riad without any assistance very frustrating.
