Our Seventh Trip to Israel, Our BEST Stay EVER!
Our family stayed in this wonderful apartment in Ashdod for ten days, and we could not have chosen a better place or more kindly and attentive owners. The owners live right in the building and give you all the privacy you need, but they are there if you have a problem or a question (we had neither). They are also incredibly prompt with e-mail and responding to questions.
The building is spotlessly clean, as was the apartment itself, and perfectly located for anyone who wants to walk or bicycle to the beach, Wednesday shuk, shopping, and restaurants. It is a 15-minute taxi drive from the railroad station or to the big mall (where there is excellent Asian food at Kanpai and shopping galore) and a 15-minute walk from Ashdod's Central Bus Station. Ashdod is perfectly safe and mostly residential, so you can walk anywhere at any time. Right next door to the building is a mini-market with fair prices and everything you can need (if you don’t want to take the longer walk to the local Supersol), along with a vegan falafel/shwarma restaurant run by lovely people who will fix you some nice takeout. There is plenty of room in the apartment, which features a large kitchen with both meat and dairy settings (although we are vegan, so we didn’t worry about that), three good-sized bedrooms with plenty of storage space for your clothes, and it can sleep a total of seven people, with two full bathrooms with showers, AND a balcony for dining with a seaside view of the Mediterranean, plus television, free wi-fi, a washing machine and drying rack, towels, plenty of blankets (we came in the winter), and linens. The kitchen is large as is the living room which has comfy, overstuffed furniture.
All in all, since we have family living in Ashdod and we visit Israel about once a year or so, we feel we have finally found our “home away from home” and hope we can stay here again in the future.
