    Wonderful location. Nestled in the heart of the city centre, near the river front and at the doorstep of the tourist hotspots. The apartment was spotless, well maintained and the host was superb - responsive, helpful and friendly.

    - The apartment is on the third floor with no elevator, which is common in heritage buildings in Split — be prepared for a bit of a climb. - Noise from the neighboring apartment could get a bit disturbing at times.

    - The apartment was very clean and well-maintained. - Reliable internet connection - Smooth and beautifully organized self check-in process. - Excellent location — right in the heart of Split’s Old Town, very close to everything. - Perfect for couples looking to stay centrally in Split

    The lack of an elevator. Such is life. Parking can be a challenge. Look for the blue stripes on the pavement to select legitimate parking, and then pay for parking at the ticket booth, remembering to put the ticket inside your driver windshield area.

    The apartment was spotless, modern, and nicely appointed. Air con was excellent. The location could not be better, at the western end of the Riva. (Waterfront). I had no noise problems. Slept very well! There is a small grocery store next door, and a good laundromat around the corner. It took a 1-2 minute walk to enter the historic areas of Split.

    If I had to pick anything, the water pressure of the shower was a little soft. But everything was really perfect.

    I will definitely come back here again. The location is perfect, close to everything but still somehow quiet. I came by car and left by bus; it was easy to find and there was easy access transport. The apartment is well styled, clean, and the utensils, tea and coffee provided are appreciated. Check in was easy, and even though there are stairs and my bag was heavy, the stairs are shallow and wide so it was very easy. Highly recommend!!

    We could hear the noise from the other unit through the walls. Too many stairs to climb if you are travelling with heavy luggage like us.

    Great location. Near bars, restaurants, pharmacy, convenience store, and everything else.

    Not much to be honest. Maybe the only thing that wasn’t ideal was the water heating system, but I didn’t run out of warm water so it’s fine.

    Location 10/10, close to everything you need. Apartment spacious for one person, super clean and comfy. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in my entire life. The apartment is also surprisingly quiet, you don’t hear much noise from the streets even though is right there in old town, for me being a light sleeper it was great. Obviously you can still hear neighbors, but not much street noise. Everything was perfect and I have no complaints. For a short stay it was amazing. Check in super easy and staff very helpful and friendly through WhatsApp.

    This is the perfect place to stay in Split. Just steps to dining, hiking, site seeing, the palace and old town. I had a beautiful sunrise view. The apartment has everything you need. Mine had a washing machine, excellent kitchen set up, comfortable bed and nice sitting area. I loved it. Easy check in and check out. Everything is a keypad.

    Room slightly smaller than expected, TV box didn’t work and shower did not drain quickly so ended up having to shower quickly in order to avoid water spilling out of the shower base.

    The host was very communicative, and the location was perfect. You couldn’t ask for better. It was very clean and comfortable.

    There are very few power sockets. We found only one free in the main room and had to disconnect one of the bed lamps. The property is located in the third floor with no elevator so it is not suitable for some people. Not recommend for people coming with cars. We couldn't find any street parking at 11pm. The car lot costs 2 Euro per hour up to 24 Euro per day and probably more in high season.

    The property is located right in the middle of Split tourist center. It was clean and comfortable.

    I kind of expected a proper kitchen to cook, rather found out that its a kitchen that you can do very easy cooking. Toilet also smells a lot, ventilation is bad.

    Very close to old town.
