    The apartment is cozy, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is wonderful and peaceful, the owner is friendly and helpful. Don't hesitate to ask her about some tips on local sightseeing or cuisine, she gave us a lot of useful information about the place. Would recommend!

    Theres leaky pipes in the bathroom and a dripping faucet. Kitchen was very barebones.

    It's in a beautiful place up in the mountains. It's easy enough to find, and generally perfectly functional, and cheaper than alternatives. Melissa is very nice and was helpful on multiple occasions.

    No heating, but the bedding provided was warm. Lights are a bit dim, but the large windows let in enough light (until it got dark).

    Great location out in the countryside - totally quiet. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Loads of space. Fantastic value for the price.

    There is a lot of red in the apartment (bedspreads, pillows, curtains), everything is red. It is very difficult to relax in such an atmosphere. The apartment is located quite remotely, and without a car it would be difficult to get there. It was also not very easy to communicate in the messenger, the host does not speak English, but even after switching to Croatian with a translator, it was not easy to understand each other.

    We needed somewhere to spend the night after visiting Plitvice Lakes, and the choice fell on these apartments. Good price for a 3-room apartment, and plenty of space for a large group. Very friendly host, they greeted us upon arrival and helped us with parking.

    It was very hot in the apt, not possible to make a draft....we requested a ventillator, so we could sleep. The WIFI was not working inside, just outside. There were not enough equipment in the kitchen, no soup bowl, only 2 small cooking pot, one mobile stove... We were supposed to stay for 2 nights, but we left after the 1st.

    It was quite and clean.

    What seemed promising turned into a nightmare of a stay. We would have been better off camping. We only stayed for two nights. The first night we lost all hot water. The water was absolutely ice cold no matter what we did, and we resorted to warming up water on the stove to at least rinse off with. The second night we lost all power shortly after falling asleep, which means we also lost all water entirely because the tank couldn't refill. We called and messaged the hosts immediately when we realized the issue around 4am, but when flipping the circuit breaker didn't work, they basically just shrugged, said sorry, and left. Our food in the fridge that was supposed to last us the rest of our road trip went bad (and it was Easter weekend so no grocery stores were open to replace these items). The room became freezing cold. We couldn't flush the toilet, fill up our water bottles, make breakfast, charge our phones and medical device, and we had to get ready to leave in the pitch darkness. In addition, a lot of small things were missed. There was WiFi, but it only worked outside of the apartment. There was a frying pan and pot, but no cooking utensils. There were many towels, but no bath towels (all were super thin and the size of a hand towel) and no towel rack.

    The first impressions of this place were great. It was very clean, decorated nicely, spacious, had the promised kitchen appliances, located close to Plitvice Lakes, and the hosts were friendly. But the positives stopped there and were misleading.

    We signal 5pm arriving, wich is confirmed from the owner. When we arrive nobody was at the apartman. When I call him, he told me he Will be there 2 hours later, the apartman is opened, occupy it. The owners english is pretty bad. When we go inside, there is colder at the rooms, then outside, and its full with bugs. But really full. After 1 hour work we drop out most of the bugs. The electric heating cannot reach the socket, extension cord is nowhere. I call him again, I think he not really understand what is the problem, be told me again, he arriving 2 hours later. Because i dont want wait for him, we looking around for extension cord, and we find 2 of it at the other side of the Road, but they are in really bad shape. We start heating with those. The owner arrive after 2.5-3hours later... Just a question. If we wait for he, when Will be warm az the apartman? At 11pm? His reaction to the problem: there is no heating season. Dude... Before morning 2 C degrees, az that night is 10... Other thing. There is 3 or 4 apartman. The Walls are paper thins. If someone moving, or closing a door, its like happens in your own room.

    The apartman is at lovely place. Far from everything, sorrunded by Forest. Cheap price. If there is no problem, for this price its okay to 1-2 night stand.
