Reviews
Vitali from Israel – 16 May 2023 (8/10)
Oded has a wonderful house, enough space, comfortable bed, good facility. The appartment is attached to the owner's property, the entrance is next to he's. We did not meet in person, but he was very attentive on the phone. I had a restful and a very good experience. There was everything necessary in the kitchen, coffee, tea and even milk.
What could be improved: Some mold on the ceiling in the bedroom. Noise in the morning from 7am, however i already wake up by then. Otherwise everything was great.Juraj from Slovakia – 15 May 2023 (8/10)
It was ok.
What could be improved: Getting there was the hardest thing. Location was not good for Friday -Saturday.Anna from Israel – 17 March 2023 (8/10)
We were looking for the location near the university and the apartment matched that, it is 15-20 minutes walk from the university.
The apartment has everything you need, including even coffee capsules and teabags.
The design is pretty nice, everything works in the kitchen and bathroom.
The owner answered for all our question and was really helpful.Reeve from United Kingdom – 6 October 2022 (9/10)
I loved all the amenities provided. From the laundry to hair dryer, additional pillows, blankets and towels. The electric stove was also wonderful. Wifi access had no problems. A fan and AC unit was also more than necessary but increased comfort all the more! The hosts also shared one meal with me which was very kind!
What could be improved: It wasn’t a four star hotel – some structural aspects of the home were showing wear and tear, but this shouldn’t be a problem for most short-term guests.Katrina from United States – 29 March 2023 (8/10)
neat & clean
What could be improved: no tvRazvan from Romania – 4 January 2023 (8/10)
The price,, nice neighbourhood, the apartment was well equiped
What could be improved: A little bit hard to find and far away from the centre of the city….Rene from Canada – 23 May 2023 (7/10)
Hosts were excellent. They took good care of us, beyond what is normal- they were true Hosts!
What could be improved: No couch to sit on, kitchen chairs or the bed.. We walked a lot and having a nice chair to sit in would be a book bonus.דודו from Israel – 30 March 2024 (9/10)
המקום נקי ומאובזר. בעל העסק עושה ככל האפשר להנעים. מקום פשוט, סימפטי, זול, מומלץ למי שלא מחפש פאר.
What could be improved: הוראות ההגעה לא ברורות. המקום במיקום לא שגרתי ונדרש הסבר יותר ברור.ממליץ על התקנת סידור תליית מגבות במקלחת. רצוי גם מגב לפינוי מים במקלחת.Yael from Israel – 1 January 2024 (9/10)
עודד זמין ואמפטי מאד.
