The house was an integral part of the experience of being in the Kasbah in Tangier. We arrived by boat and took a taxi to the El Morocco. It was 10 euro, probably too much. Call Amal to meet you. Otherwise you will not find the house. As advertised, it is multiple levels plus the roof top balcony. It is a mental challenge to remember where one has left things. The apartment, including the kitchen, is well equipped. We ate about half our meals in and the other half out. We were probably not fully prepared for as cold as it was, but that is Tangier in October. You will get many offers to show you the market, etc., but the location of the house makes guides unnecessary. Just go to the Kasbah Rose (which you will see on the way to the house), jog left, and go down the stairs. At the bottom, go left on Rue Kasbah in front of the bakery. It is a steep hill, but doable. At the bottom, the park is on the right, and the streets on the left lead into the market (sook). Across from the park on your left, is the Bab Al Madina, a sort of Moroccan fast food place. It is eat in or take out (we did both). The food is excellent and cheap. They also have an outstanding bakery. Watch which way you are going in the sook so you can find your way out. We had no problems. Different streets tend to specialize in different things, such as clothes, food, etc. We found little inclination to bargain on the part of the merchants, but it does not hurt to try. Socialize and be friendly. For day trips (and other taxi rides), Amal has a taxi driver friend Ali who is wonderful. He speaks excellent English, is friendly, and is quite knowledgeable about the history of the area. We hired him for a day to go to Asilah and thoroughly enjoyed him and the trip. For provisions, there are no supermarkets, but there are numerous small shops scattered throughout the neighborhood. They tend to specialize in only a few items, so you may need to look around. You can find about everything in the sook, but you have to then carry things up the hill (or get a taxi). We also ate at the El Morocco (get reservations) and the Cafe Bleu. Both were good. In terms of money, the small merchants want cash. The restaurants were about 50-50 for taking credit cards or requiring cash. Some will take euros. There are several banks along the Rue Kasbah with ATMs, so getting cash is not a problem. Great place. Have fun!
