No, we didn't expect a suite in the King David Hotel. But except for its position and the view outside of the appartment, everything we found at the 'Sultan Vine Suite' was disappointing. The place was dirty and badly furnished. My mother of 85 refused to go to the toilet. Probably it hasn't been renovated in at least 20 years.... More

My wife and I spent five nights at Yossi's Avissar House in May 2012. We would unhesitatingly go back on a return visit to Jerusalem, but I would recommend it to others with a dollop of hesitation. As many of the other reviews attest, Avissar House is a value accommodation in an unbeatable location. Yemin Moshe is probably the most... More

Hello friends I am glad to tell you that after 9 days of hard work we have finished to shine up the whole house (that’s before we read your review) In the dream suite we paint the hole suite as we did in all our house and change most of our sheets and towels, we also bought a new dining... More

We were disappointed in our accommodation. The location and neighbourhood are great. 10 minutes walk to the Jaffa gate. But for the price we paid we expected more. Two of the beds had plastic covers over the mattresses (bedwetters?) - most uncomfortable. The furniture all looked old and secondhand. The standard of cleanliness wasn't appalling, but wasn't top quality either.... More

Hello friend! The reason that we put covers (bed wetter's) over our high quality mattresses is that We want to keep the mattress clean!!! We find that some people are drinking there glass of wine on bed and by accident they spoil the wine or coffee on the bed, or others that are using all kinds of oil on their... More

My husband and I had this wonderful trip in this marvelous city and the location of Avissar is simply excellent. So, I decided to "copy" the review of Melbourne from February 18, 2012, because is what we really feel: "Definitely no complains on location or service. Unfortunately we found the apartment sub standard. The mismatched furniture and decoration made it... More

Me and my wife stayed in the 'Windmill' studio for 6 nights. It provided us with all of the modern conveniences required for a 6 night stay including a kitchenette with enough essentials to cook a few meals during our stay. For a studio, it was well sized and had enough storage space for our 2 backpacks and day packs.... More

After searching the Web for the ideal location, mixed with quality and facilities, we decided on Avissar House. We had stayed in Yemin Moshe previously, so knew the area well. We were a party of eight, so needed room/s. We rented the top apartment, the Dream of Jerusalem, in addition to the Olive Tree and the Sultan's Room. Our stay... More

I've stayed at Avissar House several times before. Over an eight year span. Even with the competition posed by airbnb, Avissar House retains value and probably has the best ratio of expense vs worth. What's the same is the fabulous location, Yemin Moshe, not only in sense of geography but also as an intimate, car-less, cobblestoned, hillside, charming, heavily gardened... More

We stayed in Avissar's Sultan Vine apartment for 3 nights. The location is sensational opposite the Jaffa gate. It's an easy walk into the old city as well as central Jerusalem. Yossi the owner was exceptionally helpful when we had problems with one of our tour companies. Definitely no complains on location or service. Unfortunately we found the apartment sub... More

The Avissar House offered a perfect coziness in the heart of the quaint neighborhood of Yemin Moshe, right across from the walls of the Old City. Simplicity, warmth and a great location made my stay absolutely perfect! Thank you, Yossi, for your hospitality.
