When we first came to Morocco I was not sure on pricing or what neighborhood I wanted to rent so I rented a long-term Airbnb apartment. This gave me time to search areas and apartments. I found several realtors who were willing to show apartments but be careful because of all realtors in Marrakech request 1-month rent (non-refundable) if you choose to rent one of their client's apartments. Which in the states usually the landlord pays this fee. Also usually 1000 dirham is asked for electric and water deposit and 1st and last month rent and sometimes deposit. So if the apartment is 2000 dirham a month you would need 9000 dirhams to rent a furnished apartment. In addition, try and stay away from tourist areas because people try and list their unit for more than what it's worth. In Marrakech, 1 bedroom furnished usually cost around 2000-2500 dirham, 2 bedrooms around 3000-3500 dirham, and townhouse furnished usually 4000-4500 dir...
I miss this apartment but so glad we be in Dakar closer to the city.
