Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the historic Tel Aviv suburb of Jaffa, this cosy apartment is ideal for a couple or solo travellers. Days can be spent wandering the ancient streets, hitting nearby Jaffa Flea Market for some street food or heading to the sandy beach nearby. It’s beautifully decorated inside, with an inviting, light-filled lounge and kitchen. The spiral staircase to the bedroom above is certainly a striking feature, but the steep steps might not suit everyone. Apart from a desk for remote working in the living room, the bonus is the shared patio furnished with tables and chairs.
