The service is fabulous. Quick and kind response for every question that we had. The room was very clean.

Incredible location, great kitchen and bathroom with a washing machine even. Appliances for Sabbath observant. Easy access abut 2 blocks from entrance to Mahane Yehuda market. Didn't hear any of the neighbors.
