Flat 51, Roof Top Terrace - Six nights
The instant you enter, you feel you have arrived home; the apartment is everything you had hoped for and more. Coming to a local bottle of wine and fresh fruits was a pleasant surprise.
Sunbeams in and provides a beautiful ambience, and you want to spend your days relaxing with a wine or coffee on the terrace. The terrace overlooks Rabat, and you are spoilt with sunrises, sunsets, and a view of Hassan mosque and St Peters Cathedral.
After three months of travelling, my husband and I enjoyed six blissful nights in the apartment and were very impressed with a fully equipped kitchen to want home-cooked meals.
We loved that the home had all the cooking essentials and much more; the pantry had all your staples.
It's always a treat when you jump in the shower for the first time and feel intense pressure. It's a bonus when the water is extra hot. Quality linens and an abundance of towels.
We work remotely while travelling and found the home a great work environment; you can even access a Mac desktop.
The location was very convenient, and everything was close by, also a shop next door with a good selection of wine and spirits, we frequented the butcher nearby that had excellent quality meat.
Sandy was a fantastic host, amiable and responsive, and happy to share all her local hotspots.
Overall, the home is very functional and has everything you need for a short or long stay. We could have easily stayed for more nights, and there was more to experience. It was a great base as it was only a short taxi ride using Careem to Souissi, where we spent some afternoons enjoying more local food and wine. Maya Restaurant and Sofitel Bar are worth adding to your hotspots.
The home doesn't have a washing machine, but we found excellent service, great value (70d for a whole bag), and gentleness on your clothes. Lave Linge Boutique is only a ten-minute walk away. We were looking for a laundry service to take our laundry bag, wash it, dry it, and fold it within a day. We were dropped off at 11 a.m. and picked up at 6 p.m. the same day. All our clothes were nicely wrapped and neatly packed in a plastic bag.
I highly recommend this hidden treasure in the heart of Rabat.
