So clean, beautifully decorated and with the most friendly owner. There is a lot of attention to detail in the room in terms of provision of water, tea, kettle, layout of the room, lighting choices, decoration, etc. It was like a beautiful sanctuary! The owner was also very flexible with early arrival and departure times. I would very happily stay here again and will recommend to my friends!
The most minor suggestion - it didn't really impact my stay much - would just be to have a bigger towel provided in the bathroom (I mistook it for a floor towel). Perhaps for those leaving before breakfast, offering a packed breakfast might be a good option.

Breakfast every morning was a mini feast! Esma was also really helpful with suggestions of things to do locally, contacts of vendors and places to go.

Very nice and cozy suite, large bed with a hard mattress, nice bathtub (which I unfortunately couldn't use because of my late arrival), nice furnishing, nice building, cute little balcony, very friendly and helpful host (I was arriving at 1 am and Esma managed to get me a goodnight beer - and next morning she took me to the bank to get cash), cozy terrace - where I had my tasteful breakfast!
Mattress too short (okay for one person, since you can sleep diagonal, but for two persons too short - feet will hang over), no bar, TV didn't work...

Esma is super helpful. Went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. Staff, Abu Barka was also very helpful and always smiling. Great experience

I love the pillow, so comfy. And airconditioning as well, very quiet.
4.0 / 10.0
The room was great - it was clean and spacious - and the bed was very comfortable.
I had not understood that the the owner required full payment in cash on check-in. She demanded this when I arrived and it required three trips to various cash machines with a 10 TND charge for each transaction. The demand felt unnecessary and untrusting and I felt uneasy from the start.
Also, the owner made a big deal about her breakfasts which were okay but nothing to write home about. She texted every day to ask when/what I wanted for breakfast. It felt intrusive, controlling and unnecessary.
She would also be waiting by the door when I got home in the evening - again felt very controlling.
Also, the accommodation was not easy to access - you had to take a cab to get anywhere.

The stay is not bad. The TV was not working properly. There should have been a washing machine.
Mme Esma is exceptional and very warm.
The place was clean but the rate was a bit too high.

- beautifully decorated house; hot, strong shower; good internet; superclean
- Esma's personal, friendly, allcompassing SERVICE (from airport transfers to tours, to dinner, to HUGE breakfast (plus, she picks the fruit she serves in her own garden :)), to advice (neighbourhood, restaurants, things to do, etc, etc); Esma also speaks very good English
- the b&b is in walkable distance to the Carthage ruins; there is a very nice bakery just accross the street

Mrs.Esma is very friendly person and her breakfast is very delicious, espcially the omllete. The house is very authentic and cozy.
The double bed was a little bit smaller than usual.

Very nice house and lovely breakfast served in my room. As it is located in a residential area, it was nice and quiet. Staff and owner were really nice and welcoming :-)
It is located a bit far from everything - not really possible (or pleasant) to reach places by foot. This can be an issue in the evening if you are looking to eat dinner somewhere close by, though there is one pleasant restaurant above the boxing gym close by which I discovered on my third night there. It can be difficult for taxis to find the road where Dar Esma is located, though when I needed her, the owner was available on the phone and helped us out really well :-)
