Yafo Creative Residence is a boutique guest house and creative community center located within a historic, 100-year-old Ottoman architecture-style building in the heart of urban Jaffa. The newly renovated space offers four elegant rooms featuring 50-foot-high ceilings suitable for one or two guests, each with a Queen-sized bed handmade of eucalyptus, locally sourced vintage furniture, changing exhibitions and artful interior design.The house has a professional-quality kitchen, two shared bathrooms, two shared terraces, a communal "creative salon" and free WiFi.

Best-suited for short to medium-term visitors to Tel Aviv-Jaffa looking for an authentic hospitality option accessible to, but not within the tourist zones throughout the city. We are 30 minutes from the airport, 20 minutes to the center of TLV, 10 minutes from the beach, and 5 minutes from the famous flea market where you can find great bars and restaurants. Our brand of hospitality offers travelers a unique opportunity to connect and collaborate with creative locals in an authentic, dynamic and inspirational location in Israel.

Yafo Creative is also a creative hub. We collaborate with international and Israeli creatives, tastemakers, and producers. We bring local culture to a wider audience around the world, as well as international culture to Israel. Yafo Creative hosts impromptu and conceptual gatherings that foster artistic collaboration between our community of local artists and creative minds from abroad. All of our productions contain elements of spontaneity and surprise. On select Fridays of the month we host creative dinner parties where guests of the home can meet creatives from our community where there is dinner and live music performances.

Everything everyone else has said about the place is true so I won't bore you by repeating that here. It's generally good. My only gripes are - given the historic nature of the building, there is zero sound insulation on the windows. I don't think this would be much of a problem if you have a bedroom with a window not overlooking the street, but if you do it's noisy. The road isn't busy but is a local cut through. Expect scooters and cars (and their horns - they love them) through the night and the rubbish truck at stupid early o'clock in the morning. Not ideal for the light sleeper. - read their website about their events and exhibitions. Lovely if you want to be part of it but note that these are held in your (limited) common space which your room will face on to. Again not great for the light sleeper nor those seeking rest and solitude after a day being a tourist. Not held every day though. Check before you travel But otherwise very nice. It's clearly quite a historic, bohemian place and if you like it rustic and the above doesn't bother you, I recommend it.

Booked a 5 day stay just to be in the heart of Jaffa. Loved the location : a short walk to the Illana Goor Museum, a block from a complete grocery store, and my go to place for am cappuccino at Alma and wifi. The furnishings, high ceilings, tiled floors all appealed to my artistic nature. Should in return to Israel I would stay here again

This house is in the old part of town, in a stone building with super high ceilings and beautiful encaustic tile floors. The place was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately as our flight into Tel Aviv was delayed by many hours our stay was shorter than we wanted, but I hope to return - especially on a night where the house is hosting a musical or art presentation. Tzlil was welcoming and flexible.

A really lovely place in Yafo - a very tasteful mix of local traditions with modern overtones- the host Amnon, made me feel at home and his knowledge of the area was easy to tap into from where to get the best coffee to where to get a simply awesome vegan meal. I only stayed for two nights but I will definitely be back. They also have special nights when all sorts of artists bring a plate and perform across a range of performances.

I came here with great anticipation due to some excellent reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Nice big comfortable rooms, good facilities, lovely guests and Tzlil who is a great hostess. Yafo is a lively place in which to be based. Highly recommended!

"Yafo Creative" is the BEST place to stay and definitely 5 star accommodation by any means. When only I saw this listing at airbnb I immediately knew this is the pace I want us to stay and won't even check for any other options. Space looks even better than you can see in the photos at TripAdviser (better check their profile at airbnb). And being a designer myself I highly appreciated such creative and inspiring space where everything made with such TASTE and STYLE. Hosts are just ideal: kind, genuine and beautiful young persons; we felt comfortable with them from the first moment. I actually could go on and on, but I just recommend you to come and experience this fantastic stay yourself. We wish and hope to get back to Yafo Creative soon!

Yafo Creative House is beautiful, a Maroccan style house carefully renovated into modern apartment with several rooms and bathrooms, as well as a generous kitchen. The cleanliness is impeccable, so are the hosts. We were warmly welcomed and given careful and considerate advice where to go, where to eat, what to do in this beautiful city that was new to us. There were no language barriers. We felt relaxed and home at once. The neighborhood is interesting, just small enough to easily find your way around, at the same time close enough to Tel Aviv to walk back from dining out. We will be back as soon as we can.
