Reviews

• Lesly from Netherlands – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

  Great apartment! Well equipped, super clean and very spacious. Parking next to the building. Very friendly owners. I loved sitting on the balcony with my coffee in the morning with the view of the sea.
  
  What could be improved: The location is great, only 15 mins walking from the center or supermarket. but keep in mind it’s on a hill.

• Tiric from Austria – 31 August 2022 (9/10)

  Sve top, priporucujem

• Abigél from Hungary – 14 July 2022 (9/10)

  Beautiful view to the bay, the apartman has nice balcony, well-equipped apartman, modern furniture, friendly owner.
  
  What could be improved: I missed microwave , but that’s only little negative thing.

• Nick1402 from United Kingdom – 4 January 2024 (8/10)

  Useful location with easy access both to the city of Sibenik itself and the resort of Vodice along the scenic coast.
  Compact yet well equipped.
  Private and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The bed was essentially a large sofa bed. Whilst reasonably comfortable it was a bit awkward to switch between bed or sofa, so I kept it down as a bed during my whole stay.
  The place initially was a bit difficult to find, but that wasn't a problem since I know the area.

• Lynne from United Kingdom – 28 September 2023 (9/10)

  Very well appointed studio, lovely shower and use of the garden if you wanted.

• Laura from United Kingdom – 8 August 2022 (7/10)

  The apartment was beautifully clean and each room was well presented. The kitchen was well equipped although could have been better with some wine glasses. The views were spectacular. Lots of space to relax and the sofa was comfortable to sleep on.
  
  What could be improved: The AC unit is only in the dining/living room area so the bedrooms were uncomfortably hot at night. We struggled to sleep in the heat (although being from Scotland, it's just not something we're used to so others may be okay). I slept on the sofa most evenings as it was cool enough.

• Adnan from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 7 May 2023 (6/10)

  The place is new, so all of the appliances, equipment and furniture were fresh. Location is ok, although a little bit further from the center.
  
  What could be improved: The room was smaller than it seemed to be in the pictures, as the pull-out bed takes almost all of the space and it makes it a little bit hard for two people to move around. Also, wi-fi is hardly working.

• Dragana from Croatia – 24 February 2024 (5/10)

  Location was great, quiet street close to center (15 min walk). Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Apartment was very clean, most of furniture is new.
  
  What could be improved: Bed could be better, this one is not comfortable
