Description Dressed to Impress: Tel Aviv-Yafo

Sitting within one of Tel Aviv's more traditional neighbourhoods – Kerem HaTeimanim – this apartment is a lot more modern than many of the neighbouring buildings, which date back as far as the beginning of the 19th century.

Within the four walls, you'll find all the hallmarks of simple but elegant contemporary design – we're talking stark white walls, a wealth of natural light and a minimalistic approach to decoration. Both the kitchen and bathrooms lie on the sleek end of things, while the plant-filled terrace is a pretty big perk, too.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the city, you're in an excellent position to do so. Aviv Beach is only a few minutes' walk away, and there are lots of charming coffee shops and restaurants in the alleyways that surround the home, too. The boutiques and nightlife in Neve Tzedek don't take too long to reach on foot, either.

Home truths:
*The home is spread over the ground and lower ground floors
*There's no private parking available, but there are paid car parks in the neighbourhood and a bus station 80 metres from the home, too
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*The host doesn't accept bookings from groups of young people aged under twenty-six years' old
