  : The apartment was centrally located to Old Town and easy access to everything. It was very roomy and had the most wonderful outside deck/patio.
  : I wish I had known ahead we needed to exchange cash for a key (I booked online with my credit card) as we were tired from a long trip and had to sit outside with luggage while finding atm to get cash and exchange it with nearby shop owner for the key. Then we went directly inside for showers which were cold as there were no instructions that we had to warm up the water heater first (we just thought the hot water was broken). we got these and a few other mishaps fixed quickly though as the host and her daughter were very responsive and kind. we would stay again.

  : The location is very central and there is plenty of bars , restaurants and supermarkets . The apartment is ideal for 3 people as the bedroom is very specious and theres a sofa bed in the living room, if you are a bigger group the apartment might be too small. Arlene is also very friendly and the checkin and checkout was very easy and flexible.
  : Because of how central the apartment is , it can get extremely loud at night from the noise in the bars. Moreover the bathroom slightly smells like sewage so some pipe work needs to be done .

  : Arlene, the host, was awesome and incredibly hospitable. Despite the late time we arrived, she arranged to meet us and walk us to the apartment and showed us around the place. Dropping off the keys was easy, as the host has an arrangement with the shop downstairs and you can just leave the keys when you go. The location of the apartment was incredible. It was near to the harbor (where a lot of the boat tours and other tours meet). It was very near to the old town and very accessible from different routes. If you needed a late-night snack there were a number of eateries available. In any case, the apartment comes with a kitchenette so you could put together a meal as well. The apartment is fitted with a small refrigerator. I also rented a car, from Lutar Car Rent, which is just around the corner and easy to get to with your luggage. The apartment itself was spacious. There is a double bed in the master bedroom, 2 sofas, as well as a sofa bed in the living room so this apartment is great for sharing with a few more people. For the 2 of us, the space was ample. There is a rooftop patio which unfortunately we were not able to make full use of as we were always out, but it was great for quick drying of overnight clothes. We were there in mid-June and the temperatures were hitting 38 degrees centigrade even in the evenings, so you would need to make full use of the air conditioning and fans - which was great and ample for the 2 of us.
  : As the apartment is near the old town, there is no parking nearby. The host was incredibly gracious to help us locate free and safe parking for us about a 20-minute walk away which turned out to be convenient in the end. Like all other cities in Croatia, if you have a car, it's best to move around with an overnight bag/or easy-to-carry bag and leave your bigger bag in the car. The apartment is also a level up so you would need to carry your luggage up the stairs. There is only one bathroom and toilet, so if you have more than 2 people, a little logistical timing will be required to use the bathroom. The shower area is a little small and sometimes the water power is not so strong.
