Wife and I stayed three nights here, located in beautiful Yemin Moshe area. Close to everything. We stayed in the Windmill suite. This was perfectly comfortable, great dollar value, and the hosts were very available for help. Slight drawback, don't expect spotlessly clean, this is a shame, as it would take so little to accomplish. Still, there was nothing awful.... More

We stayed in the Sultan Vine suite in June, 2012 for 7 days (the review is late because I got very busy with other travels). The location is excellent - as close to the Old City as you can possibly be without actually being in the Old City. The conditions are basic, but that is what we expected and we... More

I travel regularly to Israel, particularly Jerusalem. Avissar House is by far my favorite choice. I stay there whenever I can and always feel like I am returning to my home away from home. Nestled within the peaceful artist community known as Yemin Moshe, Avissar House has become my private oasis. The apartments are ideal for anyone who wants a... More

No, we didn't expect a suite in the King David Hotel. But except for its position and the view outside of the appartment, everything we found at the 'Sultan Vine Suite' was disappointing. The place was dirty and badly furnished. My mother of 85 refused to go to the toilet. Probably it hasn't been renovated in at least 20 years.... More

My wife and I spent five nights at Yossi's Avissar House in May 2012. We would unhesitatingly go back on a return visit to Jerusalem, but I would recommend it to others with a dollop of hesitation. As many of the other reviews attest, Avissar House is a value accommodation in an unbeatable location. Yemin Moshe is probably the most... More

We were disappointed in our accommodation. The location and neighbourhood are great. 10 minutes walk to the Jaffa gate. But for the price we paid we expected more. Two of the beds had plastic covers over the mattresses (bedwetters?) - most uncomfortable. The furniture all looked old and secondhand. The standard of cleanliness wasn't appalling, but wasn't top quality either.... More

So, I decided to "copy" the review of Melbourne from February 18, 2012, because is what we really feel: "Definitely no complains on location or service.
