Perfect location near Pile Gate. Cosy little apartment with comfortable bed. Comes with a washing machine! Anthony met us within 5 minutes of me informing we were arriving earlier than we informed.
What could be improved: Nothing.Brendan from Ireland – 9 March 2025 (10/10)
Great apartment close to Pile gate. Very quiet. Bed is comfortable. We liked everything.
Julie from Australia – 1 December 2024 (9/10)
The apartment is very spacious and lovely. Everything you would need is there. Lovely outdoor area as well. Shower & bathroom fantastic. Location perfect. Comfortable bed and good wifi. One of the best.
What could be improved: We arrived at night and it was difficult to find the right door in the laneway from instructions. Maybe a bigger sign on the door and some lighting would make it easier. Also, once you enter the door, it leads to a courtyard. The light switch is on your right, about 2 metres. Unit 1 is the second unit. Also, hard to identify in the dark because it is a black number on a dark green door. Almost impossible to see in the dark.
The apartment says it has parking but it doesn't. The host was kind to suggest either a free cark, in the winter, 30mins walk away or paid carparking nearer. The paid carparking is expensive at 40 Euro per night. We elected for the free carparking, which worked well but instructions are a little vague. It is where the buses park….you just need to be careful and park in the designated car parks.Micaela from Portugal – 2 November 2024 (9/10)

Yes, great location and with anything you need it
What could be improved: LocationVicki from Australia – 27 September 2024 (9/10)
The apartment is situated about 5 minutes walk from the Pile Gate, it was also very easy to access from the taxi rank, maybe 3 minutes and 15 steps, which for Dubrovnik is very special. The location was safe and quiet with restaurants very close by,
we could even walk to the water for a swim easily..
We loved the courtyard and the apartment was large and very comfortable. Lots of TV news stations available too.
What could be improved: nothing to noteKeith from United Kingdom – 13 August 2024 (8/10)
Excellent location, 2 minutes from pile gate. Modern apartment with excellent outdoor space.
What could be improved: To advertise the property as having parking is hilarious. If any property could be described as having no parking this would be it. The apartment is just outside the old town so approaching in a car is a nightmare. The apparts Is up a quaint but steep pedestrian lane, so cannot be accessed by car. We parked as close as we could as instructed by the host, however we were charged 10 euros for the 15 minutes it took us to carry our bags to the flat.Vasiliki from Greece – 7 August 2024 (9/10)
The apartment location is just perfect. Close to everything, but on a very quite alley. Extremely clean, spacious, modern decoration, very well equipped and with a very nice courtyard, which tend to become hot during summer, though. The owner quickly respond to our few queries.
What could be improved: Wifi was not awful but not working properly. We didn't spot the router, so i can imagine it was within the next apartment. The refrigerator was a small one. Since we spend 6 nights there, we would appreciate a normal one. Other remarks are very small to be mentioned and maybe they are just personal preferences.
