Found in one of Tel Aviv's liveliest neighbourhoods, this apartment captures the city's effortless style rather well in our opinion. In the main living space, the serene colour palette of neutrals is the overriding influence, which makes for a cooling environment during the hot summer days. Line drawings on the walls and the odd house plant or two add some character to this blank canvas, while the deliciously sleek horseshoe-shaped kitchen lends a sociable feel to the room. The wall of glass at one end of the space means that you'll never be short of natural light — well, except at night of course — and these also open out to the home's garden, which is filled with well-maintained greenery and lots of seating. Another big perk with this address is the huge array of ways to fill your time nearby. Trumpeldor Beach takes just over five minutes to reach on foot, as do the Bauhaus Center and Rubin Museum. A little further afield, Jaffa Old Town is a half-hour bus journey away. Home truths: *A cot and high chair can be provided if required *Although the apartment is split over two floors, there are bedrooms and a bathroom on the entrance level *The home has no private parking available, but there's a bus stop just around the corner
