Brand new apartment, renovated and clean. Brand new refrigerator. Oven/stove-top, microwave, laundry machine, tea and coffee makers.
Owner/manager was responsive to email and phone calls. When we did not know how to operate the stovetop a nice young man appeared within two hours and explained everything.
((We stayed one night at another apartment in Caesarea, and that one was neither clean, nor was the owner available at all -- even when there was no toilet paper. But that's a different story. So I really know to appreciate the good service I got here. ))
We had our own little porch. To bad that it was unusually cold and rainy. We couldn't enjoy the sun.
The location is ideal, steps away from the Carmel market, in walking distance of fabulous restaurants (kosher and not-so-kosher). And a nice synagogue is close by. (Probably several, but I needed only one.)
I should mention that there was no hair dryer and no iron. Whether this is normal in Israel, I don't know. In America I usually find one or both of those items.
If I have a chance to return to T.A. I will absolutely book this apartment again.
Incidentally I booked three apartments in the building, one for me and two for other family friends who were overlapping with us in Tel Aviv.
