This utterly delightful apartment can be found at the heart of the Nachalat Binyamin neighbourhood, in a lively and friendly part of Tel Aviv. The apartment feels both elegant and welcoming, and blends contemporary furnishings with romantic, vintage-style adornments. The pastel hues make the space feel ever so calm – we especially love the pretty pink ceiling and the cheery green kitchen. It’s the perfect bolthole for a city break – it’s a peaceful space to return to, there’s plenty of room for lively dinners, and it’s at the heart of the action. The Nachalat Binyamin market transforms the neighbourhood twice a week. You can walk there in less than a minute, and we heartily recommend that you do – if you want to live how the locals do, this is the place to start. Shop for the freshest fruit, veg and seafood, and cook up a spectacular feast at the apartment. Of course, if you don’t fancy cooking, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. Make sure you take the time to meander along Rothschild Boulevard. This iconic stretch is just an eleven-minute walk from the apartment. You might want to book a walking tour to learn more about the area’s history and architecture. You won’t be short of places to stop for coffee or ice cream, so take your time and soak up the atmosphere. After a day out in the city, returning to the apartment feels like a reset. As you pass through the charming internal courtyard and its greenery, tranquillity pervades. Take a seat on the balcony looking out over this space and sip something chilled as you decide which of the fantastic restaurants nearby you’ll go to for dinner.
