A five minute walk will get you to many bus lines direct to downtown, Old City, Israel Museum and the open market (Mahaneh Yehuda), and even Bethlehem. Some people in this neighborhood don't have a car or don't need to use one on a daily basis because public transit is so good. There is unrestricted street parking. There is a ISh.100.- (or $30.) deposit required when I give you the key and I take a photo of guest's picture ID or passport.
