“What struck me most is its location right in the Medina's heart, just a short walk from the city centre. I appreciate the workable sun terrace-a nice spot for unwinding or meeting other people and that some apartments have kitchen facilities adds a real convenience. It's a charming base for those wanting to explore Essaouira.”
