Maga’s House

What more can I say? The little place does exactly what it says on the tin. Magas house, sits on a lovely quaint quiet street (Heleni HaMalka street) in Musrara, Jerusalem. Having visited Jerusalem in the past I've always known it to be a busy loud place, however the location of Magas house is ideal, in the centre of the city but with the beautiful quietness. Upon arrival your greeted by a beautiful stone house with a courtyard and a nice garden area where the olive gardens offer shade, which is nice in the hot summer months. The accommodation it's self is comfortable and basic but it offers you everything you need. However the cleanliness when you arrive is second to none and I could quite literally see my face from the polished stone floors. The one thing I would say is that there is no air conditioning in the house however due to the old stone walls it remains at a comfortable temperature anyway. It is self catering however for basic food needs there is a small shop opposite the bus stop near the junction of Heleni HaMalka street and Ha-Nevi'im Street. Alternatively you can take a five minute stroll down Ha-Nevi'im street where you will find butchers, green grocers and plenty of other shops en-route to the Damascus Gate of the Old City... YES THATS RIGHT, ITS ONLY 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE OLD CITY. I sincerely hope everyone gets the chance to visit Jerusalem once in their life time, and I have to admit it takes a lot to beat Magas house for the price, location and comfort that it offers!
