Let
me
preface
this
review
by
stating
that
I
read
hundreds
of
reviews
for
hundreds
of
riads
before
booking
this
one.
The
previous
reviews
of
this
riad
actually
led
me
to
cancel
my
other
booking
and
book
this
one
instead.
I
hope
this
review
can
lead
the
next
traveler
in
the
same
direction.
If
you
have
the
opportunity
to
stay
at
Riad
Jardin
Des
Sens,
PLEASE
do.
Nothing
about
this
riad
disappoints.
The
owners,
Sam
and
Sophie,
were
incredibly
lovely
people.
They
went
out
of
their
way
to
make
us
dinner
reservations,
even
calling
in
a
personal
favor
30
minutes
before
dinner
time
to
ensure
we
were
able
to
eat
at
their
top
recommended
restaurant
before
we
left
the
following
day.
The
staff,
Mohammad,
Azzidine
and
Mostafa
truly
made
the
experience
unforgettable.
Azzidine
and
Mostafa
began
to
feel
like
family
within
hours
of
our
arrival
at
the
riad.
Azzidine
paid
attention
to
every
detail
and
even
surprised
us
with
a
box
of
the
pastries
we
enjoyed
the
most
during
our
stay
without
us
mentioning
our
preference
to
him.
In
addition,
the
location
of
this
riad
is
perfect.
Just
a
2-3
minute
walk
from
the
mesmerizing
experience
of
Dabachi
street
and
only
about
5
minutes
walk
from
Jma
el
Fna
(the
square.)
The
riad
is
incredibly
beautiful,
well
decorated
and
looks
identical
to
the
pictures,
which
is
something
I
found
to
not
be
the
case
with
other
riads
I
looked
at.
Sam
and
Sophie
suggested
we
book
dinner
at
the
riad
the
day
of
our
arrival
and
the
lovely
ladies
in
the
kitchen
prepared
one
of
the
most
amazing
meals
we
had
in
Marrakesh.
Azzidine
sang
to
us,
taught
us
about
his
culture
and
shared
stories
of
his
upbringing.
Speaking
to
him
felt
like
reconnecting
with
an
old
friend.
We
felt
safe
and
secure
in
the
riad,
as
they
have
24/7
security
and
are
constantly
available
to
provide
whatever
you
may
need.
The
riad
is
in
a
safe
area
and
we
at
no
point
felt
uncomfortable,
even
walking
back
from
dinner
at
around
1am.
The
ONLY
thing
I
could
possibly
warn
people
about
is
that
the
internet
connection
is
slightly
slow
compared
to
what
we
are
accustomed
to
in
the
US.
This
is
by
no
means
a
complaint
as
it
worked
perfectly
for
what
I
needed
(uploading
photos
and
messaging
with
family
at
home)
but
if
you
plan
on
working
or
require
good
internet
connection
for
whatever
reason,
this
may
present
a
challenge.
This
is
by
no
means
the
fault
of
the
riad
as
it
appears
that
this
is
the
case
with
all
of
Marrakech.
But
the
beauty
of
this
city
is
the
ability
to
disconnect
and
immerse
yourself
in
the
incredible
cultural
experience
you
will
undoubtedly
receive.
Our
time
in
Marrakesh
was
life
changing
and
we
truly
owe
it
to
the
staff
at
Riad
Jardin
Des
Sens.
I
have
never
felt
more
at
home
in
a
place
so
foreign
to
me.
Sam
and
Sophie,
thank
you
for
the
experience
of
a
lifetime.
I
apologize
for
not
writing
this
review
sooner,
as
my
stay
was
in
February
of
2020.
Our
stay
was
so
incredible
I
felt
inclined
to
post
this
after
all
this
time.
