Reviews
Kate from United Kingdom – 10 May 2025 (10/10)
Unlike many places in Dubrovnik, this apartment is only a few steps up from the road!
From the moment you arrive, you feel like it’s home. Every thing is so clean and the host so welcoming.
Quick check in, everything explained and a recommendations WhatsApp sent immediately.
The kitchen is equipped with more than enough for a short stay.
The beds are very comfortable (even the sofa bed)
The shower has great pressure and the hairdryer (which is disappointing in most places I stay, was super here!)
WiFi was a good connection.
But the star of the show was the swimming pool!!!!
Our children had THE best time here and couldn’t get enough of it. It’s a good size and very clean.
Thank you for letting us stay here – we will be back!
What could be improved: Leaving! Hahaha!Premila from United Kingdom – 28 October 2024 (10/10)
The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. Maria met us at the apartment and provided information and tips on places to visit and eat etc. the apartment block was in a lovely scenic location centre of old town and the marina and you could walk to most places or get the bus from outside. The supermarket is a stone's throw as is a great gym Saiyam. Highly recommend this place to stay

Maria is a wonderful host and the apartment is in a great location.
Ashley from United Kingdom – 15 October 2024 (10/10)
So clean, most comfortable bed!! We had the best few nights sleep ever. Had little touches like tea and coffee in room already, little things we didn’t have to think about straight away. It was quiet and had a lovely terrace / pool area which we liked to sit and eat breakfast at. Location was perfect.

Fabulous place to stay. Great location, spotlessly clean and Maria was the best host. She was so welcoming and gave us great tips on where to visit and best places to eat.
What could be improved: Needs a light on the stairs at entrance.Joan from United Kingdom – 23 September 2024 (8/10)
Comfortable and clean
What could be improved: Noisy road outside, lighting of outdoor steps at night.Louise from United Kingdom – 12 September 2024 (10/10)
The property was lovely, it was very relaxing sitting by the pool. The location was great for walking to restaurants/bars and for catching the bus to the Old Town.
Joanne from United Kingdom – 11 September 2024 (10/10)
