Amitai's home is indeed peaceful, as he characterizes it. It is also immaculate, quiet, adequately equipped (though we didn't need much more than the coffee press). The bed is particularly comfortable. The walk up the 4 flights is not particularly burdensome, though it helps to be used to stairs and to travel light. We had a chance to meet Amitai at our arrival, and it was a pleasure. Overall, we had an excellent experience.
