I had an excellent stay here and highly recommend. The host sent e-mails a few days in advance that explained everything. And again when I checked in, the host (Eyal) carefully explained the lodging, the area, etc. This place was everything I wanted -- a very short (~1 km) drive or walk to a public beach on the Dead Sea, yet quiet and peaceful in the evenings (unlike the big resort hotels down the road). The accommodations were great -- minimal, but that's all I needed. And the host was very, very gracious and kind. Ten out of ten stars -- I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit the Dead Sea :).
