MAPLE

 Clean, freshly decorated, well maintained, and well organized

 We had a lovely time at Leeoras apartment. It was exactly as described and the communication was great.

We recently stayed in the Maple apartment for 2 weeks with our grandson. The apartment is well fitted out, and perfectly located for dining, touring and biking. Proximity to kosher food, synagogues and Shabbat take-away made like very easy. We loved being able to walk along the converted railway line from the German Colony all the way to Talpiot. My husband and grandson rented bikes at the First Station (Rakevet) and were able to ride quite a distance.

Several bus lines stop near the apartment, and there is a supermarket less than a block away. Linda, who manages the property, is very helpful and makes the entire process of renting a pleasure.

 
 It was terrific. We have now stayed in 10 rentals in Europe in recent years. The Colony is hands down the finest. From location! to comfort and convenience! We felt very much at home. Linda was brilliant at getting us settled in, and dispensing valuable advice.
Jerusalem is a memorable city for a lot of reasons. We walked many a mile, recorded a ton of incredible impressions, savoured such fine food and shed more than a few tears, especially at Yad Vashem. Some day we shall return!

 
The apartment was everything I needed: clean, a functional kitchen, and extremely well-located for the work I was doing. Communication with Linda and Leeora was excellent both before and during my stay. The neighborhood can't be beat for walking, people-watching, and eating out As a woman traveling on her own but often meeting friends and colleagues in the evenings, I also appreciated that the neighborhood is bustling til midnight and later, even on weeknights. This might be a downside if you are ultra-sensitive to noise; the apartment I was in received a bit of noise from the service entrance to the restaurant next door, but I found it more background noise than anything else an dnever had trouble working or sleeping in the apartment.

 
Lovely flat, perfect location and an incredibly helpful staff: The living room is small but I was able to conduct meetings and host a small dinner. Nice quiet street in the German Colony- close to everything. I will be returning.
 

 We spent a fabulous week at the Colony Suites in April 2012 and I am more than happy to recommend them highly. The apartment has all the amenities one needs , and the location is superb. Checking in and out was very easy as Linda was waiting for us on arrival with a key and with all the instructions needed to operate the appliances.
Stayed April 2012, traveled as a couple

 Very clean and well maintained apartment in a great location for exploring Jerusalem. There are tons of places to eat nearby (including a couple open on Shabbat) andits walkable to the old City and a short cab ride to city center. Has air conditioning and a washing machine too.
Stayed July 2012

 A home in the German Colony, perfectly located, well-equipped, clean, and comfortable, All our needs were met almost immediately. A great set up for spending Shabbat (hot water urn, hot plate, Shabbat clock) was made available for us. The wireless internet connection was so helpful. Even our ordered cell phone was waiting for us, thanks to special arrangements made by the owners on our behalf. Thank you, Leeora and David! We'll be back.

 The aparmtents we stayed in were well equipped and easy to feel at home. the location was vey convenient. The service was excellent.

 Good facilities, lovely neighborhood in walking distance of good shops, restaurants, grocery store, post office, bank machine (Bank Leumi across the street). The staff were all very accommodating. Our family of 4 enjoyed the Maple suite; it was small but comfortable (the kids shared the pullout double couch). The washing machine in the kitchenette was a huge help, as was the free parking in front. There's also a municipal pool very nearby, though we didn't have a chance to try it out (it may be on the expensive side). We would be happy to go back to the Colony Suites.

 We had a wonderful stay in a very clean, well-furnished one bedroom groundfloor apartment in the German Colony provided by Colony Suites. The owners were wonderful and easy to deal, with even accommodating us with an extra night when we needed it and fixing anything that went awry while we were there. The location is terrific (although a bit noisy at night when the nearby restaurants were fully occupied). That seemed a small price to pay for the convenience of being so near wonderful shops, restaurants and sights. We walked to the Old City many days and discovered wonderful things along the way. We would absolutely recommend this property (and company) to our friends and we already have.

Our stay at Colony Suites was excellent. The location is perfect- right in the middle of the German Colony, only a couple of steps from Emek Refaim. The apartment was well appointed and very clean. And there is a small parking lot, which was essential

 The location is wonderful - steps away to the best rogelach in town and great take-out pizza! We walked to Pardes, to the Old City, to Machane Yehudah and to the Israel Museum. The bus service is good, and local shopping is fine.The apartment is comfortable, well-appointed and the property manager is on top of things. We stayed for a little over three weeks and would do so again.

 We stayed in the small 1-Bedroom Apartment 3, Listing # 101519. From the pictures it was not clear which one it was. There should be a separation of listings between all the apartments with the according photos. Linda, who is the right hand of the owner, was charming and very helpful. She was there for as whenever we had a question or request. She organized even a parking for our rental car. The previous tenants broke two shades in the window and this still has to be replaced. But it did not bother us that much, as it could be closed. Our Sofa bed in the dining room was not the latest model and therefore not so comfortable to sleep on (our daughter slept there for a couple of nights). But everything else was perfect. You did not hear any noise from the busy Emek Refaim Street at all - and it was just around the corner.

Owner response: Thank you for your comments and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay in our apartment. We will certainly look into your recommendations.

 My family (wife plus 2 children) and I stayed at Colony Suites (the Maple Suite) during Christmas 2010. The rental process (contact with the Manager via email, payment of deposit, etc.) was very smooth and the Manager of the property was always very helpful and willing to provide us any information and assistance we required. 
Once in Jerusalem, the lease experience was as smooth and good as the rental process. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and in a great location: a small grocery store at a 2-3 minute walk, a very good restaurant next door, and many other restaurant options less than one block from the apartment; finding a cab anytime of the day or night was very easy. The only "con" is that the kitchen appliances could be renewed. Again, the Manager's service was superb and she would strive to accommodate all our requests/needs.

I would definitely recommend Colony Suites for your stay in Jerusalem. If it is your first time there (as was our case), staying in Colony Suites will make your stay very easy because of the convenience of the array of shops and restaurants within a few meters from the apartment and the availability of ground transportation. Also, you will be delighted with the high degree of service they offer.

 We've enjoyed this apartment for 4 nights.
Amazing location (only 20 minutes walk to old city)
Very quiet and convenient... and clean...
Supermarket around the corner... many restaurants and cafes around...
Unbeatable.

 We really loved the studio apartment was very convenient and comfortable as it provided more than we expected and was super clean, The welcome and check in/out process was so friendly and flawless.
