Guest Reviews
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.
The host Ori is a very helpful, reliable and caring person. I did appreciate his assistance in everything.
The location was perfect with close proximity to the main market. There was ample space to relax and unwind…the host was very helpful throughout….i would definitely recommend this place for all types of travellers
Place clean, comfortable.
What could be improved: Bathroom shower doors need to be replaced, so there is no leaking.
Ori was a fantastic host - he made great restaurant recommendations and was very responsive. Cannot recommend enough! The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay, it's clean and located very conveniently near the market and the light rail.
Great location, great host.
What could be improved: The cleaning fee should appear during the booking of the apartment.
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.
