Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With its jungle of leafy houseplants, terrazzo-style flooring, and earthy colour palette, we could immediately tell owner Shay has a soft spot for the seventies. Shelves are chock-full of vintage curiosities and there’s a well-stocked collection of books and magazines to keep you occupied during quiet moments. Natural light ripples through huge windows which slide open to reveal your own private balcony. Settle in with a coffee among the flourishing greenery before stepping out into your Florentin locale. Creative types will feel especially at home here, in just five minutes by foot you’ll be among bohemian bars, eclectic galleries and eye-catching street art. Wander for twenty minutes to Old Jaffa and weave through the alleys filled with craft shops. Pick up a bargain at the flea market or head to Jaffa Port for fresh seafood and a bottle of wine in a laidback waterside restaurant.
