Reviews

• Neil from United Kingdom – 6 July 2024 (9/10)

  Superbly located in the heart of the old town, the property, like its surroundings, is full of charm and character. It is well equipped and tastefully decorated. We love how the the kitchen door opens up into the windy streets of Sibenik.
  Nothing is far away – restuarants, coffee shops, supermarket, historic buildings and the sea area are all within a few minutes walk.
  The owner was helpful and responsive when we reported a couple of minor issues.
  We liked everything and recommend the property to families particularly because you need to go through one of the bedrooms to get to the kitchen.
  
  We would definitely stay again if we came back.

• Kristina from United Kingdom – 4 July 2024 (8/10)

  Location was great. Apartment was clean, good size and all facilities as stated. Comfortable bed even though I’m not used to sleeping in a single bed . We mostly ate out so didn’t use the kitchen which seemed well stocked with the usual kitchen equipment, grocery and cutlery.
  
  What could be improved: We mainly used the door from the kitchen for access to the apartment which was actually 2 doors and the so the keys were a bit fiddly for coming and going, but not a problem once we got used to it. There was only one roll of toilet paper so we had to get more of our own. Usually there is plenty supplied. The WiFi code/password was not supplied on arrival so we had to wait until the host ensured us back but this didn’t take long and it all worked well.

• Jolanta from Lithuania – 17 October 2022 (9/10)

  it’s very nice and spacious appartment. I liked the kitchen window – doors … you open it – and you are part of the street life.
  
  What could be improved: google maps give wrong location… so I made few circles, but after contacting host everything went ok.

• Sandra from Romania – 4 August 2022 (7/10)

  I loved the location and it was very clean
  
  What could be improved: the fact that it didn’t AC in all rooms and it was almost impossible to sleep due to the heat

• Andrea from United Kingdom – 18 July 2022 (9/10)

  great location, lovingly decorated space and well equipped

• Mikel from United States – 29 June 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location in the heart of the old city. Cool downstairs kitchen, comfortable beds. It’s a very enjoyable space but with some quirks.
  The host was very responsive. Note: do not use Google Maps to find this address, it provides the incorrect location. Apple Maps works correctly.
  
  What could be improved: The layout of the bedroom above the kitchen is not ideal. This is a living room space turned into a bedroom. If the parents sleep in the bedroom and the children sleep in this space with the two beds it is not possible to go to the kitchen without walking through their space and waking them up. Also, the air conditioning is only in the room above the kitchen and the control for it is broken (it cools only slowly). On a 34º day it gets very hot in the bedroom that does not have air conditioning (there is a fan). The floor in the room with the two beds was not clean. The kitchen sink drains through a pump and if the electricity goes out (as it did for us for several hours) the kitchen sink leaks as it cannot drain.
  All of these are fairly minor issues and we still enjoyed our stay.

• Carly from Australia – 21 September 2023 (8/10)

  Great location in the heart of the old city, close to restaurants, cafes and many attractions. Very responsive hosts. Good space from which to see Šibenik and rest and go again.
  
  What could be improved: There was a bit of a sewer smell in the bathroom

• Ingrid from Netherlands – 11 September 2022 (9/10)

  spacious apartment in the heart of the old town! very friendly staff to welcome you! She gave us nice tips for visiting the town! also nice furniture and very charming paintings in the appartement; very cosy!
  
  What could be improved: smell in the main entrance hall. cleaning could be a little better; there is some dust here and there. cleaning products on the floor; watch out with small children; we put them in the laundry basket so my 3 year old couldn’t reach it.

• Elvis from United Kingdom – 10 September 2023 (7/10)

  Located at the centre of Šibenik. The host was very nice.
  AC was strong.
  
  What could be improved: The washing machine wasn't working.
  There's room for improvement in terms of cleanliness.

• Mario from United Arab Emirates – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

  The property location is perfect. Just in the old town center. A communication with the host was easy. A collection of keys super easy. The cleaness of the property was perfect. Bedrooms are of a good size, the kitchen and dining area well equipped. Even though the property is located in the center of the old town, it was very quite during the evening/night. Highly recommended for stay of family with kids or two couples.
  
  What could be improved: It would be good if the second bedroom is equipped with the A/C (there is a fan only), however, the one in the first bedroom can cool down both rooms.
