Kiryat Chaim is not anybody's idea of a tourist attraction, but since we wanted to stay in this suburb, the apartment was ideal. The view is magnificent and you can hear the surf from the sea. It is conveniently located next to two bus lines that run conveniently into central Kiryat Chaim and from there to the Metronit to Haifa. The place is well maintained and relatively clean. Be sure to turn on the hot water boiler before showering. Host was communicative and friendly. Apartment is on the third floor, great for the view but a bit of stair climbing. Not a lot of businesses close by, but a nice coffee shop next door. If we ever return to Kiryat Chaim West, I would stay here again.

It was exactly as the pictures! Beautiful on the beach with lots of public activities (eating areas, dancing). Easy access to everything - bus, train, groceries etc.
