The Weizmann Housing service has several buildings with apartments for employees. For the 2-persons apartments, they prefer couples of which both persons work at the institute. So we had good chances and indeed they reserved a "studio apartment" for us where we can stay for up to one year. We were expecting 1 room for everything, but it turned out to be 1 living room with a kitchen, 1 bedroom with a desk, a bathroom and even a balcony.
A secretary of the physics department had put some food and drinks into our fridge! Lucky us who are welcomed in Israel so nicely.
The apartment is located in a high-rise building for postdocs at a busy street. From the 4th floor we a nice overview. Typical for the country, the apartment is equipped with air-conditioning. So far, we have not switched it on. On the other hand, there is no heating and the windows are only single-glazed, so let's see how cold it will be in winter. At least, there is also a heating mode of the air-conditioning.
We are very happy that we can stay in this apartment and do not need to spend the first days or weeks looking for accommodation! During the next year, we have time to see if other postdocs or PhD students move out somewhere. It might be nice to move from the small Rehovot to the lively city of Tel Aviv.
