Reviews
Julie from Australia – 8 May 2025 (8/10)
Quiet, great location, comfortable & great bed
William from Canada – 27 October 2024 (8/10)
Location…location…location…literally across the street from the entrance to Old Town…bus stop is half a block from the door…restaurants, markets and bakeries are in the next block…cable car is about 3 blocks away.
The apartment was super clean, tidy and secure. Kitchen was well equipped. Basic cooking essentials…salt, pepper, spices, oil…were not provided. Tons of storage space in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom.
We loved the private garden seating area, which was just outside of our front door.
Andrea, the host, was super helpful with arranging transportation from and to the airport. She was quick to respond to requests and was always friendly and cheerful.
What could be improved: Nothing comes to mind.Susanne from Australia – 20 October 2024 (8/10)
Great location
Kevin from United States – 20 September 2024 (8/10)
The apartment was very clean, spacious, the host extremely responsive, and the location right outside the City Walls was perfect. It had a washing machine.
What could be improved: Nothing.Greg from United Kingdom – 19 September 2024 (8/10)
Excellent property, well appointed and in a wonderful position for access to the old town.
What could be improved: nothingWendy from Australia – 17 September 2024 (8/10)
Location of the property was close to the old town and there were not too many stairs to contend with. The owner assisted in arranging a taxi to the airport and assisted in changing the pickup point to minimize the number of stairs. It was great having a washing machine and small balcony which assisted with the drying of our clothes. Would certainly stay here again.
Jocelyn from New Zealand – 9 September 2024 (9/10)
Excellent location for walking to Old City, cafes, beach and cable car.
Apartment had a balcony overlooking the rooftops and there was a peep of the sea.
There was an air con unit that was essential as it was so hot!
What could be improved: you couldn’t open the shower door if the bath mat was on the floor due to no clearance at bottom of door. A bit of an inconvenience but I realise this isn’t a biggie.Julie from United Kingdom – 7 September 2024 (8/10)
Excellent location, very close to Dubrovnik Old Town and bus stop for airport shuttle bus. Lovely little terrace. Generous sized bathroom. Spotlessly clean.
What could be improved: Bathroom is off main bedroom but it was no real problem.Jodi from Canada – 19 August 2024 (8/10)
The property was steps away from the Ploce Gate. The apartment was spacious and had a cute balcony!! It was great to have a fridge and kettle. Either bring your favorite instant coffee or grab some at the convenient store. The washing machine was an added bonus with a clothesline on balcony to use.
What could be improved: A set of instructions in English would have been great for use of tv and washing machine although we did figure it out 🙃Adam from Australia – 19 August 2024 (9/10)
Location was excellent – really close to the Old Town entrance, apartment was great ! Clean and neat with a great feel about it. Andrea was amazing – we accidently left some clothes in the washing machine and she ended up posting them to us at our next destination – so kind !!
What could be improved: Description said there would be toiletries provided – however there was none available. (only a minor negative)
