MoreIf you want to create your dream, decorate your home walk to the old building at 12 Hebron Road, Jerusalem. The artists there lead the charge, on the search for space that can be rented cheap. But they wanted atmosphere too—old building, a place to walk in, with a special Inner courtyard and waterfront, that can't be too far from downtown. Very near to the Jerusalem Cinematheque, Menahem Begin Museum and Mishkenot Sha'ananim .Coffee shops near, which draw writers and musicians. Old and young people attracted to the creative energy also seeking a connection to the artists. nMore people keep coming because Hatahana opens. Restaurants, 25 Shekel beers are on sale at the corner. If you want you can get a special tour in the place in English and other languages. Great parking place near it and the view of old Jerusalem.
