Very honest in the description about amenities, not really in a touristy area, so if you’re looking for that this is a good place to book! The private room was very nice and it’s a good place to stay if you’re looking to stay somewhere more local feeling.

Jon was super hospitable and welcomed us with tea and water very kindly! Tangier is a busy place and he was very keen on advising on us about the city and culture. Our room was clean, comfortable and private. Considering the cheap pricing, we got more than we expected! Thankyou jon! We really enjoyed our stay 🫶🏻

My stay here was fantastic. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, giving recommendations about the surrounding area. My room was clean, and comfortable. There are grocery stores nearby for food conveniences. And it's also a short walk from the historic part of town. All-in-all a wonderful stay.
