Reviews

  • Petya from Bulgaria – 6 May 2025 (10/10)

    Our stay was amazing! The apartment had everything we needed – even more, complimentary as fresh drinks, snacks, etc. Clean, cozy and comfortable!The beds are comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen! Big and beautiful terrace with really nice view, even better than the photos. Best place to take your caffe, glass of wine, breakfast or dinner. The location was really good in a great neighbourhood – 5-10 minutes walking distance to a beautiful beach. 20 minutes walking distance to the old town (walking along the sea most of the time). Beautiful walk and unforgettable views. We haven’t use a public transport but I saw a bus station really close to the building where you can catch a bus to the old town directly.
    Parking – the building has a private parking and the lots are big enough.
    The hosts! Best of the best! So kind and helpful! They made us feel as we are part of their family!
    One of the best places we’ve ever been! Thank you and really hope to see you soon!

  • Linda from Australia – 28 September 2024 (10/10)

    The owner met us at the apartment and showed us where to park our car.
    The apartment was on the third floor with lift access.
    It was very spacious with everything you need.
    The bed and pillows were comfortable.
    The bathroom is large with a washing machine.
    A rack on the patio dried the clothes very well.
    The bus is up the hill for access to old town.

    What could be improved: We could not find a toaster which was annoying.

  • Nadia from Canada – 10 September 2024 (10/10)

    The host was extremely punctual, kind and generous. He kindly provided coffee, milk, drinks and snacks. The apartment was exceptional and so well equipped to make our stay nice and comfortable. The terrace is so big and well decorated. The building is quiet and clean. The location was perfect at a walking distance from all centers of interest around Dubrovnik. I highly recommend this place.

    What could be improved: Nothing, everything was great

  • Kevin from Iceland – 26 August 2024 (10/10)

    Lovely apartment, comfortable and perfect for a stay in Dubrovnik. The apartment had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Washing machine etc. Located right next to the police station, so it felt really safe to stay.

    What could be improved: Quite a long walk from the old town, but a 10-minute Uber ride or nearvy local bus solves this.

  • Aino from Finland – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

    So many complimentary amenities!

  • Vahed from South Africa – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment is located only a few minutes away from the city gates, which makes it super convenient.

    The hosts are absolutely incredible. From fresh towels, linen and toiletries to snacks and tea, they go above and beyond in making the stay wonderful.

    The apartment is beautifully decorated with special touches everywhere and does not lack a single amenity. The terrace is beautiful to unwind on at night and the air-conditioning works perfectly ( a must for summer). Little touches like candles and welcome chocolates made us feel instantly at home.

    One little glitch is that the balcony door is not working properly, so a solo traveller or kids could get locked out on the terrace, but I'm sure that the hosts will attend to this soon.

    All in all, an excellent stay that we would recommend to anyone visiting the city. Thank you to the hosts for giving us girls a little home away from home.

    What could be improved: We loved everything!

  • Sorina from Romania – 19 June 2024 (10/10)

    Everything was new, the apartment had everything you need. Everything is clean. The hosts are very kind people. The terrace was amazing.

    What could be improved: I don’t have anything negative to say. It can be an inconvenience the fact that you have to meat the property owner in order to take the keys, if you arrive late.

  • Helen from United Kingdom – 6 June 2024 (10/10)

    Spacious property with a fantastic balcony. Everything was clean and tidy. Our host was excellent.

    What could be improved: The bed was a little hard

  • Hannah from United Kingdom – 26 May 2024 (10/10)

    This is one of the best apartments we’ve stayed in. It was a home away from home. We were very thankful that our host met us late at night to hand over the keys and introduction. The apartment has everything you could need and more! Very thoughtful touches such as delicious coffee pods and travel plug adapters.
    The bed is super comfy and the balcony was extremely spacious and nice to have breakfast on, we even had dinner in one evening to make use of the space.

    What could be improved: Location is a 25 minute up hill walk from old town, or you can get a 5 min bus. But is also a good middle point for Old Town and Lapad. But if you’re happy to walk or get the bus then there is nothing wrong with this apartment (trust the reviews!)

  • Alex from United Kingdom – 21 May 2024 (10/10)

    The host was incredibly kind and helpful. He was flexible with the checkin and checkout time. There was additional drinks in the fridge including a bottle of wine. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The place had a lovely balcony. Overall the stay was incredible and the price reasonable
