underwhelming stay, issues noted

poor locationbad breakfast

The location wasn't ideal. Side street access meant constant exposure to scooter repair shops. getting to medina attractions required navigating streets filled with exhaust and reckless drivers. breakfast was disappointing and not as good as expected. i found the riad to be subpar overall.
