We rented a 1-bedroom unit. The LR/DR was smaller than expected. Also no paper towels, tissues or dish soap. Washer/dryer was in the basement and coin operated; but there were nearby laundries with quick turn around

Everything was good except that the bathroom of our room (114) had the constant overpowering stench of sewage.

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
