The owner, El Mahdi, met me at the airport and drove me to the apartment. A very nice kind man, who even took the trouble to provide some fruit and a bottle of water for my arrival.
He'll leave you his mobile number should you need anything. Nice touch and a comfort to have an 'instant' friend on hand.
The apartment is in a secure modern block in the new town, just off the main road.
Everything worked well (which is quite a surprise for Morocco!), all appliances, tv's, broadband wifi etc. Nice comfy bed, hot shower etc. Quiet at night.
Ideal if you want a touch of luxury living, and just a 30 minute walk into the depths of the old medina/kasbah or a euro in a petit taxi. Plenty of nice restaurants and cafes nearby, and just a 3 minute stroll to the train station.
No sea view, but there is from virtually everywhere else in Tangier, so it's no great hardship.
If you want modern, hassle free luxury, then you cant go wrong with this apartment. Value for money, this is the best deal you'll find in Tangier - and I've been visiting twice a year for 15 years! I won't hesitate to book this again. It was perfect.
It reminded me of Marbella or San Pedro in Spain 20 years ago, but without the extortionate prices. I dare say this part of town will become millionaires row in a few years time. My advice is, if you want the luxury and convenience of the new town, then check it out now while prices are still affordable.
