A Jewish Grandmother : Pishers' Guide to Jerusalem #40: Don't Fear Those New Prefab WCs, Pleasantly Surprised

Unlike my previous Pishers' Guides, the list can be found at the end of the post, not the beginning.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Jerusalem and entered Machane Yehuda via Shiloh Street. I'm at that age when it's unwise to delay visits to the WC, but I was nervous about trying this prefabricated one. I also know that there aren't many "nice" public toilets in the open market.

So, I figured that worse comes to worse I could "hold my nose" or flee and search for another one.

This funny looking prefab structure is on the corner of Agrippas and Shiloh Streets. No nauseating odor greeted me, and I found it easy to open the door. The "lock" was pretty automatic after I shut it.

As you can see the instructions are in three languages plus icons on the outside.

Inside it didn't smell either. I was impressed.

As you can see in the photo, the toilet is stainless steel, meaning that it should be easy to clean and relatively unbreakable. It took me a few seconds to realize how the sink worked. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm water.

Now I don't fear entering these WCs. Of course, there can always be problems. Cleaning staff isn't there 24/7.

What's your experience with these public toilets? If you reply in the comments, then please indicated location and hour.
