Reviews
Rene from United Kingdom – 13 July 2024 (10/10)
Great view and location
Wan from Malaysia – 16 June 2024 (10/10)
Jela was really nice and he came looking for us when we stopped at a wrong street (1 street in front of the actual address). We had to lug our luggages up the old city pedestrian walk but it was close enough to where we could stop the car for unloading. Jela then showed us where we could park for free (abt 15 min drive with traffic) but a 5 min walk – it was close to the nearby public Banj beach. Nice cosy place and the view to the bay was lovely! Location was great as everything is within walking distance to the old Sibenik places of attraction.
What could be improved: Nothing much other than having to climb 2 floors within the apartment to get to the kitchen/living room – a little diffifult for older people but then again, Jela is elderly and he managed very well!Bianca from United Kingdom – 9 August 2023 (9/10)
The host is lovely and kind and gave us a thoughtful tour of the home, explaining everything we needed to know.
The view from the top floor is absolutely amazing. There is a dish washer. The master bedroom (1st floor) and the top floor kitchen/lounge has Aircon and so these are nice and cold. Shower heats up quickly and everything was clean and tidy.
Walking distance to bus station and the town.
What could be improved: The ground floor bedroom (twin room) just has a fan so it gets quite warm in summer, but this seems to be fairly standard in Croatian properties from what I can tell.Chiara from Italy – 10 May 2023 (10/10)
The host was incredibly nice. The apartment is in a great location, it has all the amenities, a lot of space and a great view! Definitely recommend it.
Stefano from Italy – 12 September 2022 (9/10)
Very well positioned in front of the sea, with a nice view of the bay.
Town center and main attractions within walking distance
Very nice host landlord
What could be improved: You might have to invent where to park your car, since the house is on the pier, but we managed to do it twice without big problemsRok from Slovenia – 5 August 2022 (10/10)
Terrific location, wonderful host. Nice and clean.
What could be improved: Stairs can be a problem for some.Pip from Australia – 24 July 2022 (10/10)

Die Lage, der freundliche Empfang, die Größe der Unterkunft, der Blick auf das Meer, die sehr guten Restaurants in der Nähe und die perfekte Ausstattung,die Stadt und die Nähe zum Krka Park haben den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gestaltet.
What could be improved: Die Verteilung der Wohnung auf drei Etagen, naja, das ist nicht für jeden von Nachteil 😀.
