Wall of Glass

Flooded with light from its floor to ceiling windows, this home is a major sun trap. It might be on the small side, but you won’t notice – its towering ceilings make the space feel huge. The Nachalat Binyamin arts and crafts market is on the same street, providing the perfect hassle-free souvenir shopping experience. The building sits just outside the Kerem Hateimanim neighbourhood, so the beach is nearby and you can be in the city centre in a speedy ten minutes by public transport.

Home truths:
* There's only one bedroom, so two of the guests will have to sleep on the sofa bed in the communal area
* This home is set over two levels with a steep staircase, meaning it might not be accessible for some
* There are no bedside lamps in the bedroom – bedtime readers beware
* The bedroom is in a mezzanine that looks down onto the communal space
