I love Essaouira! The food, people, shopping, and flexibility make this an easy vacation. We also had Krav Maga classes and cooked, which was very fun. Would definitely visit again.

The house is very nice, has two big spacious living rooms and bath rooms and a nice terrace. Don't forget to bring bed sheets and towels. It is very central in the middle of the old town with plenty of shops and restaurants around it. Abel the host is a fun and chill person that loves to bring people together and create art in music and painting.

Abel and his the hostel are truly one of a kind. He was very welcoming from the beginning and there was a family like atmosphere in the house. The work itself was easygoing and there was plenty of free time at our disposal. At this time there were no guests in the house as the hostel was taken the hostel booking systems in order to follow the vision of transforming it into a coliving space and making it less commercial overall. Abel showed is the nicest spots in Essaouira and we did different activities like wuad riding or surfing together. For a few euros extra per day we had fruits & vegs on the house.

The hostel is definitely one of the most inspiring places I've ever been. Abel creates a safe and creative environment for everyone. It ranges from amazing art, great music, Krav Maga e.g. to food that you will absolutely love as he is a great chef and also loves teaching cooking. Time flew by like crazy, but I learned so much about life and living in the present. He's really building a great community and I've been lucky enough to also meet some of his amazing friends and so many other absolutely amazing people. It really feels like family. Thanks for everything Abel, you deserve the best! 🫶
