Reviews

  • Karen from Israel – 24 September 2023 (9/10)

    Ori’s apartment was clean and comfortable and exactly what we needed for our family weekend in Jerusalem. We loved staying in Nachlaot , just walking distance to the shuk and a wide variety of restaurants. Ori was amazing host – responsive , helpful and kind. He was able to help with all our questions and really cared we were having a good time.

    What could be improved: The only catch is parking since we came with a car, but there was a nearby parking lot.

    Technical difficulties with the SmartTV while we were there, so our kids were a bit disappointed. Ending connecting through my personal Hotspot.

  • Dina from Israel – 10 September 2023 (10/10)

  • Kinga from Romania – 22 April 2023 (10/10)

    The location was perfect. In walking distance from the train station and from David Citadel Hotel (which is the starting point of many organised trips). The Yehuda market and the big variety of local restaurants around was very handy. The hints of the owner were great.

    What could be improved: There wasn't such a thing.
