Jacob was an excellent host - responsive before and during our stay. His modern, comfortable apartment is a stone’s throw from public transportation, restaurants and the Jaffa Gate of the old city. The view from the apartment balcony was amazing. Vistas into the Temple Mount and all of the Old City and a close up look at the Russian Compound with its magnificent orthodox Church. This apartment was ideal for two couples or a small family. Although we only used the kitchen sparingly, it was well equipped if one chose to cook meals. Jacob was able to accommodate our request to store our luggage for a few hours after checkout, because we had a mid-afternoon taxi to the airport.. This was very helpful, allowing us to get in some additional sightseeing without worrying about lugging bags around.
