• Ros from Australia – 14 June 2024 (9/10)

  Great location in the old city . Walkable to everything. Very helpful host Vedran who was super responsive and gave us great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Comfortable, clean compact room. Good value for centre of Dubrovnik.
  
  What could be improved: A bit noisy at night with laundry next door and neighbours talking outside. Some soap and shampoo would be nice and a few plates or bowls to make breakfast ! No where to hang wet swimming gear as no balcony or courtyard.

• Ronald from Australia – 13 June 2024 (9/10)

  Entrance was beautiful with a lovely garden patio . Manager was great. . Great communication before arrival with photos & detailed instructions on how to get into property.
  Views from both rooms we stayed in were fabulous . Fantastic restaurant with great food & fabulous staff just down the stairs “ Soul”. Great location in old town close to all sites , waterfront restaurants & bars .
  
  What could be improved: There was a mix up the evening we arrived , with another couple accidently taking our room in error . We were given a room but had to move into our assigned room the next day . That room was an attic room so had to bend over to reach kettle & mugs . There are no numbers on doors to rooms & keys are left under mats so it can be confusing .

• Rod from Australia – 14 May 2024 (9/10)

  Great apartment in Old Town. Lovely view over he city to the mountains.
  
  What could be improved: If stairs are a challenge for you then most of Dubrovnik will be a challenge.

• Puja from United States – 17 September 2023 (9/10)

• Penny from Australia – 13 October 2022 (9/10)

  fabulous location in the old town, near to everything. The host was super-helpful providing a video to make finding the place very easy. nice room with fridge and electric jug and good hot water.

• Ksenia from Italy – 19 August 2022 (8/10)

  The location of the apartment is just perfect, very central in the old town, both gates, restaurants, shops and anything you might need is within 5 max 10 minutes walk, also the very good thing is that you don’t need to climb many steps to reach the property.
  The host was incredibly helpful and kind with us, gave us great suggestions and was available all the time for any kind of request. Thank you very much, Vedran!
  Wi-Fi was also good:)
  
  What could be improved: The bed was a little bit uncomfortable, since it’s double bed made of two single beds, there’s a hole in the middle. But it didn’t disturb our stay much, more a suggestion to make the experience even better.

• Kieran from Australia – 30 July 2022 (9/10)

  great communication with Vex for check in and info on the old town

• Lauren from United States – 18 April 2025 (8/10)

  Perfect location in Old Town Dubrovnik, off a courtyard, therefore more private and quiet. The restaurant right outside the courtyard, Soul, was fantastic! Host was very easy to communicate with and check-in was seamless.
