Description Mister Sunshine: Tel Aviv-Yafo

With the transparent furniture and luminous communal area, Mister Sunshine’s got a distinctly modern feel. It’s located in a beautifully restored 1920s building on Allenby Street, but despite the immediate neighbourhood being on the grey side, it’s still not too far from the sea or buzzing Carmel Market. Although it’s not the most unique home in our collection, it has its share of bright pops of colour and high ceilings that effectively liven up the home.

Home truths:
* This home is located on a particularly noisy stretch of Allenby Street
* Functional solutions have been prioritised over design
* Even though the see-through window fills bedroom two with lots of natural light - it won’t be to everyone's liking to have a transparent wall between the bedroom and communal areas
* When we visited, we noticed a couple of scuff marks on some of the walls
* The kitchen is on the smaller side, and won’t be suitable for cooking up a storm
* The bathroom is a bit tired-looking - the grouting on the shower curtain, in particular, could do with a bit of attention
* Guests 3 and 4 would be on a sofa bed in bedroom two
* Guests 5 and 6 would be on a sofa bed in the living room
