I wonīt be renting a car, so thatīs no problem.

Currently Iīm planning to stay in TLV for 4-5 days to relax and then travel to Jerusalem (probably staying at the CP) for a few days and do a few daytrips to some other places.
When you get to Jerusalem, if you are not observant, and it is close to the weekend, you should have no problem getting an upper floor room with a great view. The observant Jews who come in for the weekend all want the lower floors for the Sabbath.
