Description Emmanuelle: Tel Aviv-Yafo

If you're looking for a quiet spot to take in the delights of Old Jaffa – Tel Aviv's hip and creative enclave by the Mediterranean Sea – this calming pad is perfectly suited. With high ceilings, blue tones, soothing artwork and rich velvet furniture, there's an air of understated elegance about this home. Designed with space and comfort in mind, the vast glass sliding doors and pretty patio area brings plenty of natural light into the living room and blurs the boundaries between inside and out, making the apartment feel wider. Flick through a magazine with your feet up, enjoy a quick coffee outside, or soak up the great weather on a sun lounger – it's an ideal place to chill out and unwind. Located on a friendly residential street in Ajami, you’re a short fourteen-minute walk from buzzing Old Jaffa and all of its indie coffee shops, radiant bars and flea markets. Learn about the Ottoman-era while you're here too, with the Clock Tower and St. Peter's Church under twenty minutes stroll away.
