Beautifully appointed, great location, superb communication with hosts. Parking a bit of a challenge but host provided good details on options. We forgot some items and Lada was very kind in helping to arrange a time and location to retrieve them. Very generous in her willingness to help solve a problem we had inadvertently created.

Everything was clean and comfortable. We were in the midst of a 2-week trip and needed laundry facilities. So helpful to have that in the apartment. Americans used to a big machine should temper their expectations!

If you’re happy with the photos you see for this listing you’ll be even more pleased in person. The location is ideal for exploring the harbor and all split has to offer in the Port area. The bathrooms are lovely with plenty of hot water. The towering ceilings and beautiful interior stone walls with lovely windows makes this listing stand out. It is clean and a perfect location for your adventure in Split, Croatia. I would definitely rent it again.

Beautiful apartment very clean and had everything we needed. The apartment was quiet despite being centrally located. We walked everywhere. My only suggestion is to make sure guests understand that parking is nearly impossible and very confusing. We did not need a car since we could walk everywhere. Everything else was excellent!

Excellent apartment of high quality and which had a great location to explore Old Town Split. It had all the amenities we required as a family of four - great lounge, kitchen area with all the items we needed and two good bedrooms and bathrooms. Very good WiFi, TV, audio, and useful to have a washing machine too. Communication with Lada who also met us on arrival was very prompt and professional. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend to anyone staying in Split.

Perfect!

The apt is absolutely beautiful and perfect for two couples or a small family. It isn’t easy to find a 2 bath. 2 bedroom place so close to Old Town but this place fit our needs exactly. The extra was the charming building and well designed decoration. Checking in and out was quite simple and easy. We highly recommend this location, and apt.

An Oasis Away from the Crowds

Lovely living space away from the fast pace of the City Center. Lada was very good at answering questions and at accommodating our requests. The accommodations were very modern which I like and was super clean which is important to us as well. It was nice to have a washing machine. We used the provided drying rack to dry our clothes. The AC was nice to come back to since the temps were into the 90's. I would definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a place to stay in Split. You will not be disappointed.

Highly recommended

“This was the perfect location for a Split stay. It’s steps away from Diocletian’s Palace, so you can wake up, walk out, and stroll through the shops and sights along the way. It’s also a close walking distance to tour pick up spots if you’re venturing out to the islands and/or the national parks. Check-in and check out was a breeze. Lada was flexible and let us in early when there was a change in travel plans and she offered to store our luggage for part of the day. The apartment itself is lovely. It has high ceilings, two full bathrooms, and every amenity you would need. It had a kitchen full of equipment and a washer, which was helpful for a long trip. I’d highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking for a stay in Split!”

The perfect apartment

We couldn’t have been happier, we absolutely loved our stay. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. The host is extremely helpful and responsive. I would recommend this apartment to anyone coming to Split. It’s in the perfect location and with two little ones made exploring easy as we were so close to everything. We absolutely loved it and will be back. Thank you!

Beautiful home in perfect location

We had a wonderful three days in Split. We found street parking easily, our hostess helped us check in right on time, and the place was perfectly appointed with everything we needed. She quickly answered the few questions we had and recommended great restaurants for us. Our kids loved the small park next door and it was such an easy walk to pretty much every location we wanted to see. We'd absolutely come back to this cozy flat!
