This apartment is a private apartment behind the house with good access to main lines of transportation. My dogs were allowed, which was great. I stayed for almost two months and I would have stayed longer. I did not have too much interaction with Israel given my length of stay, but they were always quick to respond to my messages. It takes about 30-45 minutes to reach touristy areas by public transportation, but taxi is much quicker (depending on traffic). They offered laundry service and fresh linens often. The rooftop was wonderful and it was great to have a kitchen with a market close by.
