This was our first time driving in Jerusalem so it was a little overwhelming, but Eli was very helpful in finding the building over the phone and getting the keys after hours. The unit was sufficient for our stay of 2 nights.

It was a wonderful place to stay. I keep the Shabbat and they were very accommodating. They provided a hot water urn, hot plate and even a timer. I was able to entertain my family on the beautiful terrace for lunch. It was absolutely beautiful. I will be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful stay. Cathy
