One of our apartments was very dark and gloomy, but the second one was airy and nice. There was a large bedroom right off of a nice sized porch where we ate our meals. The kitchen area also had a table, sink, small counter and refrigerator/microwave. There were no cooking facilities other than the microwave. For Shabbat we had a plata and hot water urn. There was a loft above the kitchen area with 4 beds that was a lot of fun to sleep in, but somewhat hot in the summer. The air conditioning in both rooms worked very well, but didn't reach the loft as much. Also, the bathroom is in the bedroom, so we had to disturb the people sleeping there to use it.
The apartment was a great place to stay, and we enjoyed it a lot. It was right off of a main street with shops of all types and restaurants/take out. We were a 5 minute walk from the old city, and 15 minute walk to the old cemetery.
The manager was very helpful and available any time I called her. Orbitz messed up the details of our reservations, and she worked it out so that we all had someplace to sleep.
There are many apartments at Beit Yosef, so ask when you call to reserve if you have particular preferences and the manager will work with you.
