Leo, let's discuss accommodation options and quality in Canada and Israel. What are the typical housing situations?
In Canada, major cities like Toronto and Vancouver offer a mix of apartments, condos, and houses. Quality varies greatly depending on age and location.
So, "character" in an older house might mean extensive renovations are needed? And what about space? Are apartments generally large or small?
Space depends heavily on the city. Vancouver and Toronto are expensive, and apartments tend to be smaller. Outside those major hubs, you'll find more affordable and spacious options.
Makes sense. What about Israel? I imagine older stone houses with stunning views.
While some areas have those, most people live in apartments, particularly in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Space is at a premium.
Smaller spaces than Canada, then? And what's the overall style – modern or more rustic?
Generally, apartments are functional rather than luxurious. Think practicality over palatial.
Practical is good! What about unique living situations like kibbutzim? Are they still relevant?
Kibbutzim have evolved. Some offer temporary stays or volunteer programs, providing a communal living experience. It's not just agriculture anymore.
Interesting! Finally, rental prices – how do they compare?
Both countries can be expensive, but location is paramount. Thorough research is crucial before committing.
So, affordable housing generally means moving away from major cities in both countries. Any final tips for those seeking accommodation?
