Amir's apartment on Keren Hayesod couldn't be better located; all the major tourist sites are within a few minutes walking distance -- the Old City, Machane Yehuda, Ben-Yehuda pedestrian triangle, Mamila Mall, First Station, many gardens, parks, and walking paths. Though on a main street, the apartment is well sound-proofed. It is beautifully appointed, contemporary and uncluttered, light and airy during the day, cozy in the evenings. There are two beautiful bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed; one has an en-suite bathroom, with shower. The second bathroom is even more spacious, and also includes a washer/dryer. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, full refrigerator, microwave, stove and oven. A large supermarket is within easy walking distance, as are many great restaurants.
Amir was very friendly and warm, helpful and responsive to any questions. He brought over a bottle of wine on Friday to wish us Shabbat shalom, met us to check in and check out, arranged taxi reservations to the airport on our departure.
We were thrilled to have stayed in this apartment in Jerusalem, and hope we can return!
