  • Ellenor from United States – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

    Location to old town and easy walk down and only 4-7 euros Uber up . Beds were comfy , view amazing .

    What could be improved: A shade over panel over doors to bedroom. Anytime lights turned on in hallway bathroom it lights up room .

  • Gary from United Kingdom – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

    Facilities having 2 toilets for a family wad good, microwave, washing machine and kitchen. Nice view of Dubrovnik old town and sea

    What could be improved: Steps up and down tp the property but this is compensated for excellent views and we were aware of the local terrain

  • Rosalie from United Kingdom – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

    The location although still a walk but near to the famous old town. The view is amazing from the balcony, facing the island and old town. The bus stop for nearby town and airport shuttle is down the street. Ivo is easy to reach with your queries and generous to give us a welcome wine!

    What could be improved: The stairs, as the property is on top of the hill and we don't have car. We are fit so not too bad.

  • Ellen from Ireland – 29 August 2023 (8/10)

    The apartment was clean, spacious and the view was amazing

  • Rebecca from United Kingdom – 22 August 2023 (9/10)

    Clean, beautiful view, spacious for an apartment

    What could be improved: Bit of a hike from the Old Town

  • Kathy from Australia – 29 July 2023 (9/10)

    beautiful view nice and clean

    What could be improved: terrible toilet smell from the bathroom. it was disappointing

  • Luca from Australia – 15 July 2023 (9/10)

    Great facilities

  • Darrell from Canada – 12 July 2023 (8/10)

    The host – Ivo – was great. He picked us up at the airport for a reasonable price, and on the drive to the property showed us some sights as well as told us about the area. He then dropped us off and showed us how to get to stores and restaurants as well as old town. The view from the apartment of the sea and old town was absolutely amazing. The walk was reasonable for us as relatively fit 50 somethings. He also had a bottle of wine for us to welcome us which was lovely after a really long day of travel.

    What could be improved: The main bathroom – while lovely and renovated, smelled unpleasant a lot of the time. Not sure what that was about. The apartment was older, but suited us fine.

    The apartment is situated up on the edge of the cliff. The walk to old town was about 20 minutes, all downhill or down stairs. The walk back up was tough. There are 203 stairs (we counted), just from the lower street, and that is after a steep 15 minute walk up other stairs or hill. There is a bus to the lower street, but anyone with mobility issues would need to be prepared to take a cab. (The result of the climb though is an amazing view, so worth it if you are able to do the climb)

  • Jas from United States – 28 June 2023 (9/10)

    View from the balcony is amazing!!!
