We feel very lucky to have found Barud Gadera. The place is a converted family home and the apartment is the back section of the house. It is amazingly convenient, with lots of thoughtful amenities -- very much in the family vibe as opposed to a hotel feel. The hosts are simply lovely and we talked for a while about the lovely garden and growing the plants. The whole atmosphere is very calming and at the same time very family friendly.
There were two tvs so we could watch the World Cup while our kids watched National Geographic.
We highly recommend this place.
(The beds are good for Israel. Americans might be used to more comfortable beds, but they were just fine. And the area is nothing particularly special, we were just passing through and were very happy to find Barud Gadera)
