The Blooming Orchids

Brimming with natural light, The Blooming Orchids is a charming home that exudes a feminine feel. Yes, it’s small, but it’s well laid out, especially when it comes to the slightly raised bedroom that attracts a lot of light. We also love the muted colour palette with lots of dusty and light pink tones – it stands in beautiful contrast to the decorative tiles in the bathroom and kitchen. You’re right on Nachalat Binyamin, so you won’t have to venture too far to experience that special Tel Aviv atmosphere.

Home truths:
* The kitchen is very small and not at all well-equipped for cooking up a storm
* There’s no dishwasher – time to roll up your sleeves
* There’s no in-person check-in - don’t expect a local tour guide upon arrival
* Guests 3 and 4 would be on a sofa bed in the living room
* When we visited, the wifi wasn’t as fast as we would like it to be
* The design is a bit simple – the walls could do with some artworks
* The host isn’t a big nighttime reader – there are no bedside tables or reading lights
* It is right on Nachalat Binyamin – it could get noisy, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays when the market is on
