A perfect, cozy place to stay

The apartment was small but perfect for a couple and had everything we needed, including for Shabbat. AC was very good, beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean and nice with a good shower, patio was a delightful spot to eat, read, relax. Laurie, the hostess, is friendly and helpful and super knowledgeable about Tsfat. We hope to come back next summer.
