Location near edge of Medina was excellent, allowing easy access to hustle and bustle of the heart of Medina, but then was quiet oasis when at the ryad. The ryad itself was like a palace, with gorgeous wood, tile and plaster architectural details. But all of that would have been meaningless had it not been for the warm and attentive service from both the owners and those who worked there. They helped with setting us up with a guide to walk the Medina, a driver for a trip to volubulis, and taxi to the train station. They called in dinner reservations for us one night, gave us lots of advice and tips for making the most of our stay, greeted us when we returned each evening, and made us feel like welcome guests. Truly a great stay and I wholeheartedly recommend.
