In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Inside the old town — Set within Diocletian's Palace, a 5-minute walk to the Riva waterfront and just steps from the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and the Peristyle.
  • Supportive local host — Owner Mirko is frequently mentioned for meeting guests at the bus station and offering spot-on recommendations for restaurants and sights.
  • Well-equipped studios — Each studio comes with a king-size bed, air conditioning, heating, and a kitchenette with electric kettle and cookware, saving you from eating out for every meal.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Mixed value for money — With a Value score of 7.3 against a city-average rating of 9.1, some guests find the pricing higher than the facilities justify, especially for a self-catering setup.
  • Dining scores lower — Dining earns the weakest category rating at 6.9, suggesting there's no on-site restaurant and nearby options vary – you'll rely on the kitchenette or external eateries.
  • No pets and no parking — Pets are not allowed (confirmed in policies), and no parking is listed – expect to park off-site or use public transport if arriving by car.

“We stayed in a fantastic apartment in the heart of the old town. Mirko was incredibly helpful with recommendations for places to see and eat. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, including air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The shower was the best we had in Croatia.
