"Pros: Youssef's Magical Oasis Youssef's home is a breathtaking testament to sustainable living and familial love. The vibrant colors and communal spaces, including the inviting library and music room, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lush garden and stunning rooftop terrace offer serene outdoor retreats. It's truly an impressive and authentic place. Arriving late, we navigated the off-the-beaten-path village with the help of a kind local woman, who guided us to the house, despite the language barrier. We were greeted by a group of friendly children eager to assist us. Despite the initial confusion over Youssef's absence, the warm hospitality of the villagers reassured us. We learned that Youssef was at the hospital as he had become a father just the day before! Upon his arrival, despite his exhaustion, he warmly welcomed us, showed us our room, and recommended local dining options, even offering a home-cooked meal from his mother. We opted to let him rest and for a late-night of delicious street food alongside locals in the closest town. The next morning, Youssef treated us to a sumptuous breakfast, a feast of homemade delicacies. As we shared stories and dreams, we were inspired by his vision of revitalizing his village and sharing its traditions with the world. It's a vision worth supporting, a chance to experience authentic hospitality and cultural richness. Our stay was a heartwarming reminder of the power of human connection. We hope to return to Youssef's magical oasis and witness the realization of his inspiring dream." ~Marika

"Pros: No wifi. Accommodation in a different location than the initial contract. Air conditioner cannot be operated. safe suburban area Cons: Be careful when renting. Rear bumper damaged. The vehicle behind was 100% at fault. but I was a foreigner, so booking manager refused to cover it with insurance and asked me for 5,000 dirham repair fees." ~Jeasung
