The apartment is located on the second floor of a Jerusalem stone building, in the heart of the German Colony, right off Emek Refaim, yet very quiet all day and night and surrounded by fruit trees.

Fabulous location and comfortable apartment for great price!!!!
Benyamin is an honest and responsible man who was easy to get in contact with when needed. The apartment was clean with fresh sheets and towels. The natural light was amazing and the apartment was comfortable to come back to after a long day by leaving the trissim partly closed and windows open. Air conditioning worked well. One adult and 3 kids fit nicely, 2 adults and 3 kids was a bit tighter, but doable. The bathroom, especially the shower is very small, but clean and good water pressure in shower with hot water. Also, doable. Loved the street! One one end you have Emek Refaim with cabs, buses, stores, supermarkets, restaurants, bank, etc. on the other end you have the beautiful walking/biking path with benches and an outdoor lending library set up in an old bus stop! Two more affordable supermarkets are just a 10/15 minute walk away and we found parking on our street everyday! Get the Cellopark app. Would stay here again.

Definitely best location!
We spent a pleasant week staying in Benyamin’s apartment in Jerusalem. The location was perfect -right off of Emek Refaim and close to everywhere we needed to be. The apartment was nicely equipped and features a balcony with great bird watching views. One of the nicest aspects of the stay was that Benyamin made available to us much information about Jerusalem both before and upon our arrival. Without it we would not have realized a wonderful walking trail was at the end of the block.

5/5 Excellent

Richard R., Naples, Florida and Geilenkirchen, Germany

Great base camp to explore Isreal
Quiet, nice district, several small grocer's nearby, nice restaurants abound, First Station even open on the Sabbath, nearby free shuttle to Dung Gate, #18 bus quickly gets you to downtown. The apartment itself is adequate for one's needs, you did not come all the way to Jerusalem to sit inside.
Stayed 11 nights in May 2018

About the host

Hosted by Benyamin

Host profile image
We moved to Israel 16 years ago and lived in Tel Aviv before coming to Jerusalem. We immediately loved the German Colony area, probably one of the most beautiful part of Jerusalem, full of trees and flowers, lovely streets and with typical style houses.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a house closed to Emek Refaim, yet very quiet, with an open outlook.

What makes this property unique

The location is definitely one of its unique benefits, as well as the spacious living room and the balcony where you'll love having breakfasts...
