I had not been to Israel for over 40 years and this time, as a VRBO owner myself, I made the decision to rent an apartment in Tel Aviv for this visit.
It all starts with having a great host and no matter how familiar you are with Israel, Tel Aviv is a dynamic and sometimes challenging city. Ron, who owns the apartment, is great about giving advice, pointing out wonderful (often little known or out of the way) spots for dining, shopping, and cultural activities. He has a knack for exposing hidden treasures that make a vacation special. And while the apartment is on an extremely quiet tree-lined street, he is not exaggerating when he says it is situated in the “epicenter” of everything. You can walk a couple of minutes to the Carmel Market, the beach, the best shopping, dining and nightlife.
As for the apartment itself, it is very well appointed and best of all for us, it is a classic, gorgeous Bauhaus building. I’ve always been interested in this style of architecture and I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered this apartment was not only on the famous Bialik Street, but was actually the one that I had seen a few times in architectural books I was researching this subject.
When I rent an apartment, I look for three things -
1. Clean, and I mean really clean (my vacation time is too valuable to worry),
2. Location, location, location (everyone says they are in a great location), and
3. Charm, quality, and comfort (I want more than just a roof over my head).
For me the two lovely terraces, one extending from the master bedroom, are just icing on the cake. This apartment gets a perfect score on all these counts. We will definitely be back when return to Israel in the future. And thanks for being such a terrific host Ron, I appreciated that bottle of wine. What a touch.

Let me start by saying my husband and I have been to Israel many times. While we have never been seriously unhappy with our accommodations, we find that for the prices we pay that in general it would be nice if owners cared more about serious cleanliness and things like providing high quality linens instead of flimsy towels and synthetic sheets which are the norm. The first thing you notice when you walk into this apartment is that it is immaculate, cleaned and cared for to the standard of a fine European hotel, and the light and openness is incredible. Next, as you move about the apartment, it is a pleasure to see fresh (I mean really fresh) full size cotton linens that were clearly imported, large fully size bright white towels with lovely embroidery (they actually gave us a set as a gift), all new furniture and top of the line appliances. And top quality mattresses, the kind you can sleep on and wake up in the morning feeling rested. The other thing I really like is being welcomed with a bowl of fresh fruit and how generous they are about sharing their collection of Israeli (and some European wines) with their guests. There are two lovely terraces and sometimes it is difficult to decide which one to enjoy, but both are magnificent spots for breakfast, dinner, or late night drinks.
The husband Ron is outgoing and eager to help with everything from recommending good restaurants to arranging airport transportation (the company he uses charges about 25% less than most of the others), and he was even able to direct me to a tiny shop where I could get fresh ground cardamom and saffron. He clearly has great passion for Tel Aviv and particularly for this magnificent area around Bialik Street and is eager to share his insight with his guests. While it is a short walk to the beach, it is very peaceful and we have found this area far preferable to the noisy and unpredictable highway and strip along the sea The gardens and magnificent architecture around you make it the kind of place where you really feel at home, relaxed, and able to fully enjoy life in the heart of the city.
Of course my favoritism comes out here but it is based on experience, lots of travel, and the rare opportunity to call such a magnificent landmarked apartment our home when in Israel. Thanks and we will be back!
