Instant Sunshine

The clue is in the name – with wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows, instant sunshine is guaranteed. Natural tones and open spaces let you take full advantage of Tel Aviv’s magical light. Stay in bed for a while, watching the Mediterranean’s gentle waves on the horizon, soaking up every last ray that floods the mezzanine level. After a coffee and read of the headlines, nip into Nachalat Binyamin to enjoy shakshuka for breakfast in one of the eateries that surround your building. If you’re here in the heights of summer, take the ten-minute stroll to Aviv Beach for uninterrupted sands and a refreshing dip in the ocean. On cooler mornings, take a ten-minute taxi ride to Old Jaffa. Meander through its ancient labyrinthine streets, pick up antiques at the lively flea market, sip Israeli wine in trendy bars and visit Ottoman-era landmarks, like the Clock Tower and St. Peter’s Church.

Home truths:
*Guests 3 and 4 would be on a sofa bed in the living space
*The bed is on a mezzanine level and overlooks the living room – it doesn’t allow for a lot of privacy if there are guests sleeping in the space
*If you’re planning to stay as a family, the home is better suited to older children and teens
*There are a number of stairs leading up to and inside the apartment so it’s not suited to those with limited mobility
