• Michael from Croatia – 23 June 2024 (10/10)

  The stay in this apartment by far exceeded my expectations. The apartment is comfortable and looks better and more spacious in real life than on the photos. The host Goga was perfect, very communicative and kind, and she helped us a lot with great tips about parking, shopping and events. The apartment is in the old town, in a perfect location and next to the apartment there are a lot of restaurants, shops, bars, so we did almost everything on foot.
  Unfortunately we stayed too short . We will definitely be back.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was great.

• Krężlewicz from Poland – 6 August 2023 (10/10)

  Bardzo miła i pomocna właścicielka :), rezerwowaliśmy pokój 30 min przed zameldowamiem i wszystko sprawnie i szybko zostało załatwione. Lokalizacja na samej starówce, bardzo czysto, wyposarzenie w kuchni i łazience spełniało masze wymagania. Na plażę i tańszy niż przy starówce parking mieliśmy 15 minut spacerem.
  
  What could be improved: Klimatyzacja była w jednej sypialni przez co w pozostałych sypialniach było troszkę duszno ( w nocy temperatura na zewnątrz wynosiła 27 stopni Celsjusza) Brak bezpłatnego parkingu.

• Miklos from Hungary – 22 July 2023 (8/10)

  Goga was very helpful! She provided all information we needed and helped with the parking.
  
  What could be improved: Parking is quite complicated. One cannot stop in front of the apartment even for taking the luggage out of the car.
