Mama Lova is located just off one of the main avenues of Essaouaria, and thus very easy and convenient for wandering around this quiet seaside town. We arrived after a 2-3 hour drive from Marrakesh, and were immediately served a truly delicious lunch in the small courtyard. The manager, Karima, was gracious, helpful, and spoke excellent English; the other staff were also friendly and efficient. I shared a suite on the second floor with my traveling companion. It consisted of one large bedroom with a window looking out over the town and one into the central courtyard; one smaller bedroom looking into the courtyard; and a large, well laid-out bathroom. The shower provided good hot water and strong water pressure. The decor throughout the riad is attractive and simple; my bed was extremely comfortable. There were other guests, including one couple with a baby, but it was always quiet. Breakfast was served in the courtyard, and was copious and excellent: fresh fruit and juice, breads, jams, olives, eggs. The roof deck was pleasant, and afforded a terrific view out over the town. The only caution is that the stairs to all the rooms are steep - this was our experience in all the riads we stayed in.
