Reviews

  • Sonja from United States – 1 October 2024 (9/10)

    Apartment had great terrace with a view. It was clean and quiet. We were able to walk to old town easily. We had a parking spot too.

  • Andrej from Slovenia – 14 October 2023 (9/10)

    You get everything you need in a small apartment, and the terrace is great. The view is nice and the location is good if you wish to explore the city. The possibility of parking in a garage is also a nice touch.

  • Neumann from Austria – 19 August 2023 (9/10)

    Beautiful rooftop view, cuddly cat, surprisingly private and very clean accommodations. Very centered, everything easily reached by foot and by car. Everyone was also very lovely! Would stay again.

    What could be improved: If you are looking for a place to cook, this isn't it. Not really enough room to do much except breakfast but the city provides more than enough great food. Nevertheless, you were still provided more than enough to cook and clean with 🙂

  • Tarik from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 8 August 2023 (9/10)

    The apartment was great. Everything was super clean and the host was extremely pleasant. I’d say that the highlight of the apartment was the terrace. It has a beautiful view.

    What could be improved: Internet connection wasn’t the best, especially on the terrace and there weren’t many sockets in the apartment.

  • Michał from Poland – 27 July 2023 (8/10)

    To be honest, almost everything. The family members running this business were really nice amd helpful, the apartment was great, the view from the terrace was outstanding. We loved it there.

  • Jose from Peru – 20 September 2022 (9/10)

    The apartment is very nice and modern. All is working perfect, the accommodations are very good, kitchen, beds, bathrooms, very nice, wifi is working very fast. The host are very kind and friendly. The view from the terrace is very nice, a great apartment to enjoy Sibenik. The location is very close to all the attractions in the city. Well recommended.

  • Ari from Finland – 3 October 2024 (8/10)

    Own breakfast, perfect equipment available!

  • Mark from New Zealand – 14 June 2023 (8/10)

    Location perfect with lovely private rooftop terrace with grand view. Host was extremely helpful and assisted us with transportation from airport.

    What could be improved: Kitchenette a little small for food preparation but fridge was large.

  • Rory from Ireland – 7 September 2022 (9/10)

    Great location, easy check-in, terrace view

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • David from Australia – 16 September 2024 (8/10)

    This is a reasonable apartment in a good location. The host is friendly and helpful. It was clean and fairly well equipped.

    What could be improved: The garage is 100m from the apartment, involves reversing out onto a busy road and is narrow – you don't want to have anything other than a small car or you will have trouble getting out of it. The apartment has some annoying features like you have to stand on a chair to plug in a kettle and there is a lip coming out of the bedroom that I kept stubbing my toe on, no bench space in the kitchen. Not terrible but a little frustrating.
