We enjoyed our stay at dar lala Chafya. It was an authentic experience to live in a real Moroccan house of the old medina (Fes al bali). The house was spacious and a good size for a family of four (2 bedrooms). There was a terrace, dining room, sitting section with a tv with youtube for the kids and bathroom of good standard and size. We visited in December with cold nights, so we were glad to have heaters on in all sleeping rooms, dining area and the bathroom, and thick Moroccan blankets. The hostAnouar arranged it so the heaters were all ready on when we arrived, and whenever we needed something we could ask him. We had a whats ap group where we could communicate with him whenever we needed, and he was quick to answer. We paid for breakfast, and so Anouar and his father would come every morning at a time we decided the evening before, and make true Moroccon breakfasts and tea, with bread, eggs, fruits etc. And there was chocolate milk and nutella for the kids. The breakfasts where what we enjoyed most at the hous. Anouar (and his dad) was really hospitable and kind and speaks good English. He recommended places to go, arranged drivers, helped us to get to the cars outside the narrow streets of the Medina. This was the one negative thing- that it is hard to find the house without help and google maps didn't work right for this house. Anouar and his father helped us to the cars or main streets of Medina every time, which helped a lot. Great stay and recommend it:)
