Judea

It was great being able to park the car directly outside the unit and well off the road. The host was very nice and communications with him were easy. The only disappointment (and not a major) was the bathroom - it is very very small and the hand basin is so low and tiny it made washing hands and brushing teeth etc somewhat difficult. That aside, it was a nice place to stay, in a good/quiet location, with a very nice host. Thanks for having us Shane :-)

Superb pool & cabana. Last of the larger properties not cut up. Help yourself to the fruit from the fruit trees. Largest tree in Judea. Chickens will love any leftovers .
