Blue Beetle

This stylish home might be right in the action, but located on a low-key side street, it’s pleasantly quiet with a suburban feel. The balcony, surrounded by greenery and equally peaceful, can comfortably seat six – a lovely oasis for entertaining guests or enjoying your morning coffee. Within five to ten minutes by public transport from the central areas of Tel Aviv (including the beach), this home makes the perfect base for exploring the city.

Home truths:
* The second bedroom’s a bit on the small side – there’s not much space to move around
* The building has a lift but there are a few steps leading up to the entrance
* The towels aren’t as soft as we’d like – they could do with an upgrade
* The glass on the balcony’s a bit dirty – it could do with a good clean
*Guest 5 would be on a sofa bed in the living room
