Gabriel Apartments - Superior Studios City Center

הסביבה הזו מאוד חביב בעיני

הכל היה מסודר בחדר מה שצריכים לשהייה

I got what I paid for. A budget accommodation in an overpriced city. It was centrally located in an ultra Orthodox neighborhood. I got a closer look at the positives and negatives of living the ultra Orthodox lifestyle.

It's in an ultra Orthodox neighborhood, you may be subjected to suspicious and judgmental stares. I learned that they hate non Jews and look down upon less religious Jews. A warm and welcoming neighborhood it is not despite the commandment to love the stranger for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt. The apartment is bare bones with a street level opaque glass front door. It's a noisy apartment. You can hear all the conversations people are having as they walk past. The refrigerator makes a noise that sounds like pigeons. The toilet flush valve was dripping all the time. The bathroom faucet would shake the pipes when turning on the hot side. The shower basin was clean but the caulk and tiles were grimey. The bathroom outlet was loose out of the wall, so was the bathroom door handle. The paint under the bathroom and over the bed is marked by water stains and it could use some freshening up. The bedside lamp was missing a light bulb and the bathroom was missing hand soap but the manager took care of those issues. All this speaks to the carelessness and lack of attention to detail when one's life is centered only on religion. The wifi internet stopped working right before Shabbat and didn't go back on until I complained about it on Sunday afternoon when I found a working public wifi. Define a safety issue if your phone doesn't work in Israel and you have a medical emergency on Shabbat. Some people in the neighborhood speak English but most people speak only Yiddish or Hebrew. I got by speaking bad German.

Np habia desayuno

Era chica la pieza

It was private on a smaller street

היה wifi, מזגן ושולחן עבודה שהיה חשוב לי

אין חלון כלל, הדלת נפתח החוצה ישר למדרכה, אי אפשר להשאיר פתוח. המדרגות למרפסת השרותים לא מתאימות למי שיש מגבלות תנועה. גם מרווח הכניסה למקלחת מצומצם ביותר.

Die Lage ist sehr gut und bequem. Das Appartement ist sehr klein und minimal, aber recht gut ausgestattet.

Für den Preis passt eigentlich alles.
