We simply loved our stay at Barone Apartments! We spent our summer vacation there in the middle of July. Zvjezdana was incredibly kind and assisted us with giving us the keys, showing us around the apartment, and mentioned she is a call away if we needed anything. We are incredibly grateful to her for letting us stay at her place. The apartment - it was a gorgeous, homey, two-level apartment. On the first level there was a kitchen, toilet and bathroom, dining and relaxing area. Leading you to the second level, you'll see some creative and interesting stairs that serve as a centrepiece to the apartment. On the second floor you will find the bedroom, toilet and washing machine area, and the balcony. Oh, the balcony! Straight out of a romantic movie - a small cozy sitting area, with a view that is made for a postcard - you can see the sea and beach, as well as the beautiful authentic rooftops of the near houses. Beautiful! The apartment is situated perfectly - near the city alley, you can go for a long walk and admire the view, or you can sit at a nearby restaurant, have a drink and grab a bite. The apartment is 7-8 minutes away from the beach, 5-6 minutes away from a convenient parking, 5 minutes away from various landmarks. We really loved the cathedral and the sound of the bells in the morning - we got amazing sleep here and we didn't mind getting up a bit earlier in the morning. We recommend this place 100%, and we look forward to coming back soon.

...That we had to leave eventually.

great location and host was very accessible and accommodating

This very confortable appartment was great for 4 adults for a short vacation. It has an excellent location in the old part of town, the public beach is an easy 5 minutes walk away and shops are nearby. The place had privacy - there is a living area and there are two separate bedrooms so we had 4 normal beds (no need for anyone to sleep on a sofabed in the living room). There was also a nice terrace to use for an "al-fresco" breakfast or an evening drink. We did not cook but the place seemed well equipped with all necessary dishes and cooking utensils etc.

Nothing negative to report - just keep in mind that this is located in the old part of town which means you access the apartment by walking up a small set of stairs and church-bells wake you up in the morning but all those aspects are precisely all part of the charm.

Great appartment, totaly renovated, spacious

Centrally in amazing town.

Parking is a challenge.

One apartment was really big and grand / loved it really. Fully equipped kitchen was amazing.

4 person appartment had tricky stairs / not for the faint hearted…

Wow this is so hard to review. Let’s start with the positives. The host we had was very good. Friendly and sorted everything for us. The location is also right in the old town and 1 minute to bars and then 5 minutes to the restaurants. The apartment is a rather good design with a comfortable loft style for the bed, getting to the loft is via an almost dangerous steep ladder style step Ensemble.... downstairs is a full function kitchen and couch which can double as a bed for 1 person (or a small couple). But that is unfortunately all overshadow by the biggest problem - the smell!

OMG, the smell!!! It’s atrocious... you cannot have these apartments listed without addressing that our apartment has a horrendous smell coming from the sewer system from the town. We were told it’s a known issue in the town (and you do smell it around the town) but it all seems to stem from our apartment bathroom. It fills the entire apartment, you cannot live upstairs and downstairs is only bearable with all windows open 24/7. I understand the issue is probably not that of the host but rather the city, however you cannot rent these apartments at close to 100 euros a night knowing that this smell is there (or likely to be there). Our host did give us a new apartment after 2 nights for one of us to stay in which was a relief but one of us was left to stay in the awful smell downstairs. I understand that the host did everything she could but the owner of this apartment must address the smell actively to people booking. In general, the apartments look nice but are cheaply renovated. You here the neighbours in the other apartments rather distinctly, so I believe the smell is a result also of a cheap renovation.
