THE RUTH

 Great space, great price for the neighborhood. We enjoyed it and would stay there again!

This apartment is fantastic. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The apartment has fantastic heating which is important in winter in Jerusalem. Nice amenities were provided like shampoo. The location is perfect and the parking was a lifesaver. My teenage son even said that he could live here, which is saying a lot!

 Linda who manages the property is an amazing host. She is pro-active welcoming, great help with local information etc. The property is conveniently located allowing for reaching all the main tourist attractions within a few minutes besides the shopping within 5 minutes walking distance close by. The apartment is both well furnished and equipped catering to all our needs , it was neat and clean. Parking is amazing! We were seven tourists, three from India and four from New Zealand! Great place to stay and hoping to be back! Thanks once again Linda!

 Leeora's home is in a great location. and very well maintained. We were thrilled to have the third bedroom as extra space and we did make up the beds in the third bedroom. There is a second bathroom with sink, shower and toilet. It was great to have the extra space. The check-in and check-out experience was great and it was very convenient to have a parking spot on the premises. We would stay here again.

 Enjoy the experience at the apartment, very clean ,love the location, love the birds singing in the morning. Would very much recommend to our friends.Very convenient to have the Secure parking on the property.

 We stayed for a week in April. Had a lovely time. There was everything you could possibly want. Communication with Linda was fantastic A couple of minutes walk from Emek Refaim with a huge choice of restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

 Our family stayed in two C S rentals for 10 days in early December....the Levant and the Ruth....five minute easy walk between them.both apartments were exactly right for us...Kosher kitchen, right on the wonderful Emek Refaim st with all that has to offer....great shops, grocery within a block, great restaurants from fancy to deli casual, heritage architecture lending an attractive ambience, big mall within walking distance (15 minutes....we walked it), and plenty of taxis at the ready (except Shabbos). Bus available but we didn't try buses. Taxi into town 30 - 50 shekels, but possible to walk (leave 25 - 35 minutes. Best of all, the management was just fantastic (thanks, Linda!) ....we were given IMMEDIATE attention (literally minutes) to our several requests during the stay, including a new shower spout, extra towels and sheets, and personal tutorial on how to best operate the washing machine. The kitchens were kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The Levant especially had a "character" feel....electricity costly but only because we abused our use of the very effective heaters (winter)!

Thank you Linda,
it was amazing to hear your great testimony of your story. We enjoyed staying in the Ruth very much. It was exactly as described and very clean. Everything we needed was there and we were made to feel welcome. It was a quick taxi drive to the old city and a lovely neighbourhood with supermarket etc close by.
Thank you again Ruth, You made our stay lovely.

he apartment was exactly as described and suited us as well as I had hoped. We already knew the neighborhood and chose the location for its quiet residential atmosphere with restaurants, groceries, buses and taxis a 5 minute stroll away. The apartment was spotless and comfortable. We were able to prepare meals and relax after days of exploring one of my favorite cities. Our Host was attentive and easy to communicate with. It was an ideal experience. I would stay there again and recommend it to anyone.

Three of us stayed in the Ruth Apartment, great location with shops, restaurants all close by, roomy apt, great waking up to the birds, April is beautiful time of the year everything in walking distance including the Old City, its a great walk. All our needs were met with the apartment it was great, Aviva and Linda were very helpful. Easy recommend and hope fully get back again in the future.

 We stayed in the Ruth apartment for a week at the end of August.  The apartment was great.  After two weeks of close quarters in hotels and hostels, our family of 4 appreciated the extra space and individual bedrooms for the girls.  
 
There were lots of restaurants, shops and grocery stores near by and easy access to buses and taxis.
 
Linda was super helpful, providing us the extra information we needed about Jerusalem.  She responded to all our requests in a timely fashion and worked within our time constraints for check in and check out.  We also really enjoyed visiting with her and listening to her stories. 

We would definitely rent from colony suites again.

We had a wonderful stay at the Colony Suite's The Ruth apartment just off of Emek Refaim. The apartment was clean and very nicely furnished. We had more than enough room to relax after each day of touring. We loved the location - it was so easy to walk to a grocery store or to eat out and easy to get to the old city as well as Ben Yeduda street. Linda was so easy to work with from the our first contact with her and answered all of our questions promptly. She graciously accommodated our late arrival into Jerusalem and answered questions during our stay. We would definitely stay in a Colony Suite apartment again and have already recommended it to others.

We recently had a fantastic holiday staying in the Ruth apartment. The location, space and service was perfect for our family. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms we were really comfortable. Linda was incredibly flexible and friendly which made check in, check out and any requests we had an absolute pleasure. We highly recommend colony suites and will definitely be returning customers.

Our family of five (with three children ages 11, 8, and 6) spent almost three weeks at the Ruth. The apartment is perfect for families: there’s room for everyone whether at the table or on the couches. The two full bathrooms are one rare plus, and the patio is another. When the kids are awake and in the apartment, there’s plenty of space for them to sprawl out and read or play board games on the table or the floor.
When the kids are asleep, the parents can take in the breeze on the balcony. The location too is perfect for families: plenty of parks nearby, and a playground less than a block away. The Colony Suites staff are welcoming and responsive and did everything and more to make sure we felt at home. We hope to come back again in a year or two, and the only reason we would stay elsewhere is if someone reading this review reserves it before we do!
