My stay at Riad Gjulja was nice for its perfect location in the heart of the medina, just a short walk from the main square. The breakfast was incredibly good and worth every bit. However, I did notice a slight musty smell in my room, which was a bit off-putting. Overall, the experience was quite enjoyable, mainly due to the hosts' attentiveness and the charming atmosphere.
