Perfect central spot to visit all the sites in Jerusalem. A step away from the Light rail and the Ben Yehuda shopping district. 15 minute walk to the Western Wall. The owner was easy to contact and very responsive. There was also an option for safe keeping of baggage as we had a late flight out of Israel

What could be improved: A little noisy early in the morning from late night revelers and construction. This didn't both us
