I had a pleasant three-night stay at Riad Dar Alfarah, largely due to its beautiful decor and friendly staff. However, I did experience some concerns around safety when my husband's wallet was misplaced initially.

Overall, while the ambiance and hospitality were commendable, I would caution future guests about their valuables.
