Description Sea You: Tel Aviv-Yafo

There's only one place to start with this apartment in the Ajami neighbourhood of Tel Aviv and that's the glorious seafront balcony. As well as looking out from the building's top floor to mesmerising views of endless blue, there's plenty to keep you entertained up there, from the inflatable hot tub and hammock to the barbecue and alfresco dining set-up. You'll also find yoga mats, surfboards and beach equipment that guests are free to borrow. Back inside, there are billowing white curtains that keep up the seaside feeling, as well as the host's impressive collection of sculptures from Indonesia and Africa. When you fancy getting closer to the Mediterranean Sea, Givat Aliya Beach takes less than five minutes to reach on foot. You can also walk along the coast to reach the Old Town in around twenty-five minutes, too.

Home truths:
*It sleeps five guests, but one of them would be on a sofa bed separated from the rest of the living space by a shelf unit and some curtains
*There's also an additional camp-style single bed
*Even though there’s a lift to take you to the fourth floor, you still have to climb a couple of steps so it might not be suitable for some guests with mobility issues
*It’s a lived-in home for part of the year so expect to share the space with some of the host’s belongings
*The host can provide a cot, high chair, children's tableware, books, toys and babysitter recommendations if required
*The hot tub is only available to use in the summer months
*If fewer than four guests are staying here, one of the bedrooms and bathrooms will be unavailable
