Laurie helped to make our recent stay in Tsfat a memorable weekend. Her accommodations were just as she advertised, two rooms with a very small bathroom. We liked having the extra small room for our luggage, storage etc. Think location, location, location. The rooms are small but comfortable and clean. As a couple, we worked with the space and thoroughly... More

Basically a room with a bed. An actual water closet - calling it a bathroom is a joke. My hand is larger than the sink. Basically, bring your own milk for coffee, bring your own entertainment and bring a very very warm set of PJs. Oh and it's expensive, for nothing! More

I'm sorry that my guests were unhappy with the guestroom. I have a small guestroom which I do my best to represent accurately on the website which notes, very clearly, that it's a small guestroom (with a second attached room with a couch) with a small bathroom/shower. The site also shows photos which depict the rooms exactly as they are... More

Laurie's place is homely, comfortable and ideally situated. She made me feel welcome, even when I managed to lock myself out of my room! She is indeed a wealth of information about the area. I walked with her one evening when she walked her dogs. I find the location of her guest house ideal. I was travelling alone and felt... More

We stayed at Laurie Rappeport's guest house on recent trip to Safed, Israel. Laurie is a wealth of information about Safed (in fact she works at the tourist information bureau), so it's like having a living, breathing Fodor's book or iPhone app at your disposal. She was very welcoming of us into her home. We even met her friends and... More

Our stay at the Rappeport Guest House was lovely. Laurie is the consummate host, and made our visit as comfortable as possible. Although the two bedrooms and bathroom were tiny, my husband, two grown children and myself slept well. The location was right in the Artist's Colony and a stone's throw from everything. Besides her role as guest house proprietor,... More

What a gem. Nothing fancy, just a clean room with one incredible amenity, Lauri. She arranged for shabbat dinner, hosted a shabbat luncheon, invited us to a community Purumspiel, arranged for a private guide and much more, she became our friend. She knows everyone in Tzfat, and everyone seems to know her. We spent four nights at the Rappeport House.... More

We stayed at this delightful zimmer for over shavuos and wished we could have stayed longer. Our room was cozy, clean and attractive with a small bathroom and a second, smaller bedroom that we used to store our bags. We ate most meals at a table in the quiet garden of this residential neighborhood. The price fit our budget and... More

A great space just outside of the hustle-and-bustle of the artist's colony in Tzfat (but only a 4 or 5 minute walk to the heart of it). Near restaurants and shops, beautiful views, and interesting historic sites. (Laurie can certainly provide recommendations for some places to wander on your own, and possibly even recommend a guide, if that's your thing.)... More

There are many places to stay in Tzfat, but none are as convenient and cozy as this charming guest house. Located steps away from the main downtown street in the middle of the artists' colony, Lauri Rappeport's comfy inn is the best deal you can find in the Holy City, a clean, comfortable and quiet accommodation that is just perfect....
