Our apartment is very well located, a 5-10 minute walk to Emek Refa'im Street, full of cafes, restaurants and other shops and about a 40 minute walk to the Old City. It also has excellent shwarma right around the corner.
It is spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, so for Jerusalem it is larger than average. The building and neighborhood, however, are old and showing some wear and tear. I am finding Jerusalem to be a "second worldish", relatively dirty city, with lots of cigarette butts, plastic debris and other garbage littering the streets. (Plastic bags are ubiquitous in virtually every store.) But I guess the city has been around awhile :)
We put garbage and plastic bottle/cardboard recycling in a dumpster and repositories in the parking lot where we park the car. No two car garages here!!Photo of the parking lot below. Notice the big, concrete dividers in the middle. Makes backing into spaces an interesting project. One time we had to help a woman who got her car stuck on the divider.
