We have been four of us and we spent eight days in May in Jerusalem. We had a wonderful time, excellent location, very good accomodation. A little bit more cleaning wouldn't hurt. Other wise our journey was very pleasant.

I enjoyed Jerusalem so much.Sara’s house is so near the old city which made everything a walking distance.The house was also big for me and my family there were 7 of us.We were very much at home away from home the house was clean and had a washing machine which is so good for a person with kids.l liked the area quite and friendly neighboured.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the location is the main attraction of this apartment which is on a fairly quiet one-way street a few minutes from the Damascus Gate of the Old City. The Jerusalem Light Rail stop is about 3 minutes away. It's located up some stairs on the top floor of a building which houses a synagogue downstairs. There are two bedrooms; the main bedroom has an ensuite toilet and wash basin, the second has twin beds which each pull out to make a double (although I imagine floor space would be tight if this were done). There is a separate bathroom with toilet, small bath and shower and the rest of the apartment has a large open plan living/dining/kitchen area. Air conditioning is very efficient and quiet and available in the lounge and second bedroom. I believe one of the couches is a sofa bed.
To find the 24 hours supermarkets go to the top of the street, turn right, cross several sets of traffic lights and you're in East Jerusalem where there are several Palestinian-owned mini-markets, fruit and bread shops which are open all night.
Communication with Sarah was very good; she answered my several queries straight away.
The only reason for not giving this place 5* is I do feel it could have been cleaner; the mirrors in the second bedroom were covered in greasy hand prints, the tv cabinet was very dusty and there was a dirty blanket in the wardrobe - I've no idea what a previous guest had been doing with it. I notice that a previous reviewer mentioned flooding in the bathroom - we had the same issue but I fixed the problem.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants the ideal location for a visit to Jerusalem Old City.
All good for the place, i just want to suggest for Sarah to look into the ''flooding floor in the main toilet' when simultaneous use happens.
Other than that everything is great.
spacious place.
good and quiet Jewish neighbors.
5 minutes walk to local shops
10 minutes walk to the center
15 minutes walk to the nearest :gate;.
so, recommendable place.
This apartment, near the Old City of Jerusalem is in an ideal location. It is walking distance to many sites. It is also big and comfortable.
The problem we had was getting into the apartment when we arrived. I told the owner that we were coming into the airport at 2:30am and that we would drive directly to the apartment. I communicated this numerous times and months ahead of time. She said we could get in at 4pm,. She told us this the day before we arrived! On top of this there was no toilet paper in the apartment! The apartment also needed to be cleaned. This easily could have been a top rated apt.!
