Reviews
Jonathan from United Kingdom – 15 May 2025 (9/10)
Stunning views from the terrace. The apartment was perfect. The communication from the hosts was exceptional, they gave me lots of helpful hints and tips for my stay. Would highly recommend 😃
Kaea from New Zealand – 2 November 2024 (9/10)
The host was really lovely. The bathroom had some products we could use and the kitchen also was really well set up with equipment and different kitchen staples – definitely the most we've had in all the places we've stayed which, long term travellers, was appreciated. Everything was comfortable, clean, and great. The view was also beautiful and we appreciated being able to use the clothes line too.
What could be improved: The kitchen is a bit small to be able to cook in but otherwise all good. The walk up the stairs probably isn't for everyone but we didn't mind itSarah from United Kingdom – 22 July 2024 (9/10)
Great views from the apt, quiet, good air conditioning (vital). Comfortable.
Kathryn from United Kingdom – 6 July 2024 (8/10)
Christina was great at communicating and managed to have the place ready for me for an early check in. She was helpful with local advice.
What could be improved: The sea view was fabulous although you need to be reasonably fit to scale the steps from the old town to the apartment. It was lovely to come back to the peace and quiet from the old town of Dubrovnik.Amy from United Kingdom – 20 June 2024 (9/10)
host was super friendly and so easy to communicate with. Views from the apartment were amazing, especially at sunset. Keep in mind it’s situated on a hill and you have to climb many stairs to get to it otherwise get a taxi (very cheap).
What could be improved: perfect place for a couple for 2/3 nights, kitchen space to cook was limited but well equipped.Pierreta from Czech Republic – 6 June 2024 (9/10)
So very kind and helpfull owner.
Parking near the appartment on the main street.
Clean rooms and kitchen with all you need 👍
2km to the historic center or 2km to Lapad.Vadim from Sweden – 2 June 2024 (9/10)
The apartment is very comfortable, fresh, and clean, offering a fantastic view. The host is extremely friendly and communicates perfectly. The kitchen is very well-equipped. It's easy to reach by bus without needing to climb any stairs. Currently, you can take bus #3 (20 minutes from the Old Town to "Magistrala 2" to reach the apartment) and bus #8 (5 minutes from "Hebranga 5" to the Cable Car station to reach the Old Town).
Tia from United Kingdom – 13 May 2024 (9/10)
The view was worth the money alone! Attentive host and compact but well laid out apartment. 25 minute walk into the old town / Lapad area.
What could be improved: Slightly dated, stove was quite small – but this wouldn’t have been an issue if you weren’t eating in.Jane from New Zealand – 9 May 2024 (9/10)
A lovely apartment on the hill, about 25min walk to Old Town and close to supermarket and bakery. Host met us on arrival and gave us lots of tips re sightseeing, restaurants etc. The apartment was clean, bed comfortable and we had everything we needed.
Mikko from Finland – 22 October 2023 (9/10)
