Vibrant Medina Loft and Roof Top

The host Elisa is fantastic - very welcoming and responsive. Even drove us to a local swimming pool, given that she could not install the roof top pool with the weather not yet being good enough. Overall we had a great time here. However, the location is very intense with kids however, as it's just extremely busy and quite noisy - as all of downtown Medina. It's within easy walking distance to all local attractions though. The beds are comfortable.

Even if the pool couldn't be opened yet on the roof terrace (which btw is very small and this wasn't really clear to us when we booked), I think the roof terrace could have been a little more welcoming. However, I understand that the right season for using the roof terrace was only just starting and that the weather can be unpredictable. Facilities are good, but I am not sure I would give them 4 star (e.g. the hair dryer is pretty lousy, quite basic kitchen utensils etc).

Extremely central yet quiet. Safe, well decorated and clean. Lovely roof terrace.

The loft is a lovely oasis of calm in the crazy heart of the city. The owner was very responsive and gave us a a great tip on where to go for breakfast (Mandela Society!) The beds and pillows were comfortable. Good shower (several towels provided) and separate toilet room. The rooftop is great for getting some sun (more towels provided) or relaxing in the evening. The washing machine was handy, and there were a couple of airers on the roof, where clothes dry in minutes. Three coffee machines and a kettle, huge double fridge freezer. Usual array of cutlery, pots and pans, utensils.

It would have been good to have instructions on what to do when we got there, prior to arrival. I tripped and slipped on the steps in the bathroom a few times, until I got used to it! No air con in one bedroom and the floor fan was weak and noisy when on high and it had to be perched on a chair to get any effect. My adult son saw a rat in his room. He decamped to the livingroom sofa, but it did make us nervous for the rest of our stay. The loft was very clean and there were no normal signs of mice/rats- it may just be an everyday thing in Marrakech! Although one biscuit which had accidentally left out in the kitchen had clearly been been nibbled by tiny teeth!

Elisa is a wonderful host. We kept in close contact with her during our stay and she was very responsive. The property was completely renovated a year ago and is in pristine condition. We stayed there during the earthquake which didn't leave a scratch on the building, which shows that it's well built and robust and safe. The amount of high quality space that this property provides in the middle of the Medina is unique, as is the privacy that we enjoyed on the roof terrace.

The only negative note is that the street is very noisy until well into the night. For those who follow the local rhythm that's not a problem, but for us early birds it was a bit of a nuisance. So bring earplugs.

Location great, it had moroccan arquitecture which was beautiful, private and beautiful terrace, the host answered quickly any questions we had. Beautifully decorated apartment overall. Early check-in.

We had the impression that there was a swimming pool on the rooftop. Re: facilities, bio. We didn't like to see left over food and drinks in the fridge from other previous guests. A complimentary unopened bottle of water in the fridge would have been appreciated as the apartment is not easy to find and was hot in July afternoon.

This is a fantastic apartment in a central location and the host is excellent and very helpful.

One of the rooms has air-conditioning, the other one has a fan. I think having air con in both would be great.

The apartment is very spacious, nicely decorated and clean. It has a lovely rooftop which is really nice to get out of the hustle and bustle and to watch the sunset. Host was very responsive and helpful on WhatsApp.

It is an apartment so there are some amenities/services that come with a hotel that you obviously forego with the option. Its quite hard to find at first and really difficult to drive in - only really early the morning that is possible. Taxis seemed to only want to drop off at the other side of the main square no matter how much you insist on other drop offs that might be closer, so the walk is usually at least 15mins (which is only an issue for those less mobile). It should also be expected that it’s quite noisy at night as you’re right in the souk (we were also there during Ramadan).
