Apartment Star Danica***

Apartment Star Danica*** Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartment Star Danica***, I’ll be honest — it doesn’t scream high-end from the outside, but that’s actually part of its charm. This three-star property sits quietly on Ulica VIII Dalmatinske Udarne Brigade, and you know what? The free parking right on site immediately won me over. In a city like Šibenik where finding a decent parking spot can be a nightmare, this alone makes the place worth considering.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s the thing about the location — it’s one of those spots that locals would probably choose themselves. You’re close enough to walk into Šibenik’s old town without being stuck in the tourist chaos, and I mean, couples seem to get this because they consistently rate the location around 8.5. The neighborhood feels residential but not isolated, if that makes sense. You’ve got that authentic Croatian vibe where you might actually hear neighbors chatting on their balconies in the evening, which I found oddly comforting.

The Apartment Setup

The apartment itself is straightforward — clean, functional, and honestly better maintained than I expected for a three-star place. The room layout makes good use of the space, and there’s this practical approach to everything that I appreciated. It’s not trying to be something it’s not, you know? The furnishings are modern enough without being flashy, and everything actually works (which, let’s face it, isn’t always a given). The windows let in plenty of natural light, and on quiet evenings, you can actually hear the sounds of the neighborhood settling down.

What Sets It Apart

What really struck me was how well-maintained everything feels despite being a smaller operation. The recent guest ratings hovering around 8.4 for location aren’t just numbers — you can feel why people appreciate this place when you’re there. The staff seems to actually care about the details, and there’s this sense that they’re running a tight ship without being overly formal about it. I noticed little touches, like how clean the common areas stay and how quickly they respond to any questions.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the fanciest place you’ll ever stay, but it delivers on what matters most — a solid, comfortable base in Šibenik that doesn’t break the bank. The combination of that reliable parking, the genuinely good location, and the fact that it consistently gets high ratings tells you something about the experience. Couples especially seem to connect with the relaxed atmosphere and the easy access to both the historic center and the quieter residential side of the city. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in for a few days and actually feel like you’re experiencing Šibenik rather than just passing through it.

Reviews of Apartment Star Danica***

• Attila from Hungary – 20 July 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nem volt ilyen.

• Admir83x from Bosnia and Herzegovina – 3 January 2024 (10/10)

  The property was excellent. The check-in process was effortless. Our host, Danica, who lives in the same house, warmly welcomed us. A bottle of wine, juice, and water awaited us in the fridge. Danica provided a thorough explanation of everything related to the property. The apartment was spacious, the rooms tastefully decorated, and the beds exceptionally comfortable. The apartment was impeccably clean. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities you might need, including a dishwasher. Additionally, there is a washing machine in case you need to launder your clothes. The apartment is not located right in the center but is just a 15-minute walk away, which we didn't mind at all. It's situated in a quiet area, which we appreciated. In front of the apartment, there's a table and chairs where we enjoyed our breakfasts in the fresh air. There's a bakery and a store just a minute from the property, and a few bars and restaurants are nearby. Upon our departure, Danica gifted us a bottle of domestic olive oil, a true delicacy. We had a fantastic stay. Danica and her husband were exceptional hosts, and we wholeheartedly recommend this property to everyone. Everything was perfect!

• Quinn from Germany – 7 August 2023 (10/10)

  Proximity to the city centre. €6 with uber to sibenik old town. Host eas accommodating, fresh fruit and veg in the garden. The host gave us seranno ham and local olive oil. She also came with a huge bowl of fresh veggies from the garden.
  
  What could be improved: Loved everything about the apartment. The proximity was excellent. The apartment is located in an older area of the town.

• Natalia from Estonia – 2 August 2023 (9/10)

  Чисто, комфортно, удобно. Милые, приветливые хозяева, не говорят по английски, но все было вполне понятно. Угостили своими помидорами. Удобные кровати, подушки. Парковка прямо у двери. В соседнем доме круглосуточная пекарня.
  
  What could be improved: Отсутствие стирального порошка и моющего средства для посудомойки.
  Горячей воды на 4-х не всегда хватало.
  Пешком до центра города далековато.

• Sanja from Croatia – 29 July 2023 (10/10)

  Odlična lokacija i besplatan parking odmah uz apartman. Apartman je u prizemlju što je super za starije putnike ili sa puno prtljage.

• Daniel from Netherlands – 25 July 2023 (10/10)

  Mooi ruim, lekkere airco. Alle voorzieningen aanwezig. Eigenaren uiterst vriendelijk. Kunnen helaas wel alleen Kroatisch. Ze waren denk ik flink in hun moestuin bezig want we hebben nog tomaten, uien, aardappelen en olijfolie gekregen.
  Om de hoek ook een bakker die ik alleen maar open heb gezien.
  
  What could be improved: Eigenlijk alleen dat het wat verder van het centrum lag dan gedacht. Maar meer eigen fout denk ik. Is ongeveer 25min lopen.

• Adriana from Poland – 19 July 2023 (10/10)

  Apartament idealny dla rodziny z dziećmi. Bardzo czysto. Dostępna pralka, lodówka, mikrofala, piekarnik z kuchnią i zmywarka. Byliśmy z 2 dzieci. Gospodarze Kochani i przemili ludzie. Częstowali nas regionalnymi specjałami 🥰 były pyszne. Blisko do morza, starego miasta, obok apartamentu znajduje się sklep i piekarnia otwarta całą dobre można tam dostać burek, pizza chleb, bułki, i pyszne drożdżówki. Polecam z całego serca.

• Evelyne from France – 10 June 2023 (9/10)

  Accueil chaleureux bien que notre hôte ne parle pas notre langue, ni anglais avec en primes de gentilles attentions.

• Rose from France – 27 May 2023 (8/10)

  The kindness of the couple of elderly people who own this place and are really willing to help even though their English is not really good. They even gave us home made olive oil 🙂
  And the apartment is pretty big, was clean and the beds were comfortable. And we have everything needed to cook (even a dishwasher !).
  
  What could be improved: If you are more than 3 people, one of the bed is in the kitchen (which was not a problem for us though).
  And it is a bit far from the city center by foot (but there are parking places nearby).

• Ewelina from Poland – 27 June 2022 (9/10)

  The lady who was our host was very understanding. Even though she could not Speak english, she asked her neighbour for help when needed. She is very friendly.
  The apartment is well organized and very comfortable. Everything what we needed was in place. It was a big apartment, perfect for the group od 5.
  
  What could be improved: The beds were nor very comfy, but enough.
  Addtionally, I felt uncomfortable when the host took pictures of our IDs. But she kindly agreed to delete them from her phone and we wrote our basic personal data which was needed for check-in on paper.
