    It is site that offers short term rentals in Tel Aviv. At home4trip.com we were able to search a huge database of great rentals in Tel Aviv. Everything was amazing and we were able to drive anywhere in Israel. Jerusalem is about 45 minutes by car. We even went to ancient Tiberias. When you get great service on one part of your vacation, it makes the whole thing amazing.

    It is great to be in Israel on Purim, or Independence Day, but avoid Yom kippur. For full run down of when to go and when not to go, see:

    Make Tel Aviv your base

    Posted by NoBullshit 8 April 2008

    The country is small so you can reach any place in Israel (well almost) in a few hours drive from Tel Aviv.

    Tel Aviv by far has the best services, entertainment, hotels, and restaurants compared to any other Israeli city. Even if you don't like the hustle and bustle of a large city (the Tel Aviv metropolitan area has more than two million people) you should still consider the convenience.

    And if you are into cities that never sleep (like Madrid and New York) then there are few that can compete with Tel Aviv.

    The people are friendly and helpful, most speak English, crime is low (so you don't have to worry about walking at night), and the weather is warm and sunny most of the year.

    Another tip: Don't miss historic Jaffa (located in southern Tel Aviv). Great shops, clubs, food, and the biggest outdoor flea market I've ever seen.

    My daughter loves Tel Aviv (and I do too).

    Tel Aviv is on the Mediterranean coast, more-or-less in the centre of the country.

    Cafe Mersand has apparently been an institution in Tel Aviv for decades (the Walllpaper* chic interior is original and absolutely authentic), but new youthful owners have recently taken over to make this one of the hippest, most relaxed places in central Tel Aviv to have a coffee break while watching the locals come and go.

    The friendly young baristas turn out top quality espresso, cappucino and cafe latte, and the small kitchen does tasty sandwiches and cakes. They have laid back music (the Beatles featured when I was there last), artists doing film installations and a good selection of newspapers (Haaretz English language version of course). This place is a must for anyone who appreciates a non-chain, slightly left, cafe.
