    Great location in a quiet cul de sac a short walk into the bustling medina. Picked up the keys from a Hotel in the medina and were escorted to the apartment. Facilities were great (we had everything we needed). There's a rooftop terrace with facilities for drying washing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Essaouira and the apartment was perfect for our needs. Thanks to Samad for the amazing hospitality.
