Appartement Guéliz Majorelle - Centre Ville Marrakech

Nice and clean apartment

The host and his father were extremely helpful throughout. Access and departure were well managed and the description given was accurate and all facilities worked well. The location is very accessible for central Marrakesh and seemed safe and quiet. We had no difficulty sleeping and were able to spend time in the apartment with ease and comfort.

Emeric is a responsive host, he is professional and can communicate effectively in English. The neighborhood and building is clean and safe. The apartment was relatively clean, and it was a good size, fully stocked with pots, pans, mugs etc. The apartment does not have an electric kettle (even though it says it does on the English listing under facilities), but it does have a small Nespresso Machine and an Italian Moka pot, as well as a Moroccan tea pot. Lighting in the apartment can be a little dim at night, but there is sufficient windows and sunlight. The apartment has a drying rack but no drying machine (only a washing machine) - this is accurately reflected on the listing. Unfortunately the pool (which is indoors) is only open from May to October. In the English listing it does not say the pool is closed from November to March, although it does state this in the French listing. Overall we immensely enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed that the pool was closed as we expected it to be open (as we only speaking English, we only read the English listing. I would advise the owner to align the information in the English and French listings).

This is an honest review and I understand that this is someone's livelyhood, however... The apartment is well situated in Gueliz and is moderately appointed. It is comfortable to come back to after a busy day in the Medina. We were here for a month and perhaps noticed more then someone who may be in for a week. Items that were promised were not delivered. The door handle broke off in our hands and we noticed the patio door didn't lock as well as many leaks in the plumbing. All but the patio doors were fixed quickly. The apartment needs love, light bulbs need replacing, old pillows, broken teapots and cooking utensils, but again some people staying for a week may not use these things. I would recommend this place, it just needs love and care. Emeric was quick to respond both before and during our stay. Sadly when we left the father in law tried to get us to pay for the door handle and the patio door (we didn't break either of these items),that were broken. We are careful people in our 60's, not party animals. Again, we would recommend Emeric and this apartment...With a little care this would be a 5 without question.
