The path leads to the "Shakadia" unit, the only one that was available of the three (so I can only recommend it). We passed a natural spring that flows here from one of the rocks into a tiny wading pool during some months of the year. We entered the house. It is a 150-year-old Arab building with a lot of character, right in the middle of nature, with complete privacy and blessed simplicity.
The entrance to the "Almond" cabin is completely separate and private, and at the entrance there is a simple seating area facing a panoramic view.
It's not a large unit (30 square meters) but it has a lot of "old-fashioned" character. It has that Israeli feeling that only exists here.... a combination of homey and not alienated, natural but wild, authentic but a little cracked.

It's true that there's no jacuzzi or coffee machine here, but overall there's everything you really need: a double bed 1.40X1.90, a TV with YES, a kitchenette with cooking options, etc.
The idea here is to experience the wonderful Ein Kerem neighborhood, which offers endless attractions, galleries and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. There are also a pair of bicycles available for the pedaling guests among us at no extra charge. You can of course book spa treatments and an organic breakfast (by prior arrangement).
Host: A docu-director who grows vegetables Haim is a documentary director who has lived here for 35 years. He has been operating the units since 2013, growing vegetables and infusing a lot of character and authenticity into the place.
Haim is very friendly and open and tries to adapt his hospitality to guests as much as possible.
In conclusion: This good simplicity offers an amazing location, everything you need to spend quality time together, and a very pleasant price. The spring is already a bonus (:
