I am unable to review this apartment without sounding like I’m prone to exaggeration, but I assure you I am not! This apartment was the most ideal Airbnb rental we have had from start to finish. Carole and Elie were fast and friendly communicators, and everything about our experience with them went above and beyond what was merely obligatory or polite into the kind of generosity one would receive from good friends or loving family! The apartment was exactly like the beautiful photos, and in person it is so charming. It was absolutely clean, and not just on the surface but thoroughly clean! They were both there when we arrived to welcome us, even though our flight was late, and when the door opened we were immediately enchanted with the flat - wood floors, warm lighting, comfortable living room and cozy bedrooms, and they had already arranged bread and cake and juice, water, milk and coffee and tea and butter, along with cooking staples ... Elie and Carole provided us with very useful info on Tel Aviv, and even though we have been many times before we really appreciated the thoroughly prepared maps and explanations and learned things about the city that we didn’t know before. The area is wonderful, so close to Gordon and Frishman and Ben-Yehuda, great restaurants all around, grocery stores, pharmacies ... I have mixed emotions writing this honest review, as I don’t want anything to change from too many other guests overusing this wonderful flat, but I have to say that we had a great experience - the efficiency of a good hotel, the privacy and space of a rental apartment, individuality and attention to detail in the decor of a boutique hotel, and the thoughtfulness and generosity of staying with family or friends. Toda raba, merci beaucoup et à bientôt, Carole et Elie!
