hi frank
if you and any of your friends need to rent a large older riad for the festival, i have one that i will be renting out. i cannot make the festival this year so the house is available...it sleeps up to 10 people...and i'd like $250 a night for it with a 5 night minimum...before or after the festival it rents for $200 a night...2 hours of housekeeping each day is included.
cheers,
sarah
