Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Even though Equilibrium is on the garden level, it feels like it could be a loft in Brooklyn. The host, Gil, is an architect, and he designed the place himself, from what used to be a garage. It still has a very industrial feel to it – if you’re after kitsch cosiness, you won’t find it here – and we love the unusual touches that come with that (the kitchen swing is a particular highlight). There aren’t any doors to the bedrooms, which won’t be for everyone, but we think that adds to the character, as does the plant-filled terrace.

Home truths

Neither of the bedrooms have doors, just curtains
There's a fair amount of Gil's belongings around the place – it's by no means crowded, but just worth being aware

Local guide
About Old Jaffa
Old Jaffa is not like the rest of Tel-Aviv - and you feel it immediately. Old and new, ancient and bohemian collide to create a vibrant neighbourhood where art galleries, design boutiques, and restaurants lie side-by-side to archaeological excavation sites. Old Jaffa is a maze of Ottoman sandstone homes along narrow, winding alleyways with beautiful Mediterranean-blue doors and shutters that make it feel like you're worlds apart from modern Tel-Aviv...

Host
This home is managed by Gii
This home is managed directly by its owner who will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Gil is an architect and designer, and perhaps unsurprisingly, he designed this home himself. However, he doesn’t just limit himself to Israel, he’s working on projects all over the world and is often off travelling.
