A Reflective Stay

central locationrelaxing experiencedamp smellhigh cost
The location was central and I found it easy to reach the main attractions. The riad was still quiet. I liked breakfast. There were natural sounds and occasional sounds from neighbours, but no traffic. It was a relaxing experience.
The room was small and dark. A damp smell seemed to linger, and I noticed it for the entire duration. The cost for transport from the airport seemed quite high relative to local standards.
