Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Light and contemporary, this radiant apartment showcases the modern touches that are decorating Old Jaffa. The traditional district is a nexus of ancient buildings and rustic architecture, imbued with authentic cafes and bustling markets. It's a unique place full of character, and your home is right in the heart of it. You can almost sense the underlying charisma from your cute balcony, adorned in a couple of chairs. We suggest making yourself a coffee and spending lazy mornings here, slowly waking up with the town around you. Alternatively, you can settle down for breakfast at the cosy dining table in the open-plan living space. Tuck into a plate of shakshuka while you discuss the excitement of the day ahead. Where that excitement leads is all up to you. Find a bargain at the local markets, taste the local falafel at the various eating spots or just chill at the gorgeous beach. Such is the proximity to all of the above, you can do them all without breaking much of a sweat.

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...
