Concrete Heritage

In 2003, Tel Aviv was designated World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its unique collection of Bauhaus architecture. The building in which this apartment can be found is among this number and the interior is equally deserving of praise in our eyes.

Raw sandstone walls, concrete ceilings and bare wooden floorboards in the main living space lend an industrial feel, although the furnishings are chic by comparison — you only have to look at the tufted sofa, sleek coffee table and equally svelte breakfast bar seating in the kitchen to see what we mean. The pristine white bedrooms and marble-walled ensuites live up to this stylish standard, and there's even a sunny balcony with some seating found off one of the sleeping quarters.

There’s a concierge in the building for any questions you may have and daily cleaning is also included. Better still, the hosts have an agreement with a local gym so guests can use the facilities for free. When you're in the mood for exploring, there's a wealth of attractions that lie nearby, from the myriad art galleries and restaurants in Neve Tzedek to Charles Clore Beach only a quarter of an hour's walk from the front door.

Home truths:
*There’s no dining table other than the breakfast bar in the kitchen
*Even though there’s a lift in the building, you still have to climb six steps to reach the front door
*There's private parking available for guests — please enquire with the host beforehand
*A cot can be provided if required
