Dar Essalem

Excellent location and loved it’s design and vibe.

All the very steep stairs with luggage etc! Also didn’t like the galley kitchen being downstairs, design wise.

Excellent communication and reception by the host Karim. Facilities were very good, we enjoyed the rooftop, the lounge and the use of clothes washing machine.

We didn’t have a problem but the stairs to the kitchen maybe tricky for people with mobility issues.

Todo perfecto: el apartamento es precioso, con unas vistas increíbles desde la azotea y un propietario muy amable. Totalmente recomendable.

El acceso desde la calle principal es turbulento, pero aún así merece la pena.

Definitely beautiful house, spread over 3 levels (kitchen level -1, entrance and living rooms level 0, bed rooms level 1) plus panoramic terrace. Rooms: one is very spacious with balcony, the other is small and less confortable, both with en-suite bathroom providing good privacy if travelling in a group. Air conditioning and wifi. Host super welcoming and helpful, waited for us despite the flight delay and the late check-in. Perfect location for visiting Sidi Bou Said and la Marsa walking, by car in 20/30 minutes you can also easily reach the centre of Tunis.

Unfortunately the level of cleanliness was not the best. There was rubbish from previous guests in the kitchen, very dusty and unclean rooms, we found hair in one bed and a few insects (ants, small cockroaches). I would recommend a couple more towels in the two bed rooms bathrooms, and a supply of toilet paper (but there is still a supermarket close enough to buy what is missing). However the bedrooms were ok and the time we spent in the house was short, so we did not feel it necessary to disturb the owner who was very kind and helpful with us when we arrived.
