Although I was a little nervous staying by myself with someone I didn't know, Yael immediately made me feel welcome and at home. She is outgoing, interested in people, and genuinely interested in making sure you have a great time. She had suggestions on where to go--cafes, sights, coffee--for each day trip I had, and all of them were fantastic. Of course, Israelis know their coffee. :) It felt like I was staying with a friend by the time I left. I miss her and will look forward to returning again soon!
