This flat has everything you need! Even though it is compact, it suited our needs. The location was on the piazza close to restaurants and the Palace. We walked to all the attractions without a problem. Make sure to walk the wall! The views were great and we were able to take great photos.

The apartment was just as advertised. The manager was easy to communicate with and helpful at check in. The apartment was very clean. It was a great location as far as being in the old town and walkable to everything. The one drawback is the noise from bar goers at night. I believe this is something that may be common throughout the old city though, no matter where you stay.

We had a comfortable stay at the flat, thank you Zana. The flat is well located (albeit amidst the night noises!) great to be able to enjoy the Diocletian Palace early in the morning before crowds show up.

Excellent location and amenities
Absolutely loved the apartment, really close to everything in the old town. The apartment had everything we needed for our short stay...particularly a small washer and dishwasher. Jana, the manager was particularly agreeable and helpful with both check in and check out. If we were to come again I would absolutely consider this apartment again.

Cozy Apt with a GREAT Location
This apt is just as pictured and described. Spotlessly clean with everything you need. We did not cook but it has a very well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for two people. A bakery is steps away for morning pastries, coffee, and late night snacks. Easy to find and has a nice location. If you want to experience the Old City you will find it here.

Iva’s property in Split is a dream. It’s impossibly clean, well stocked, and in a perfect location near all of Split’s attractions. The water is a stone’s throw from the apartment as are numerous shopping and dining venues. Iva herself was very responsive and very helpful with all our questions. I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a lovely stay in Split.

The apartment was beautiful and is right in the city center. It was fairly easy to find. We had to check out very early, as we were only passing through and they were very accommodating to do so. I would highly recommend this apartment.

Amazing!
We had a fantastic stay in Split. We were met by Zana outside of the apartment and she showed us where everything was. The apartment was lovely and in a very convenient location. There was a Spar nearby so we could get groceries to put in the fridge. I was most thankful the air conditioning worked well, as it was very hot outside!
I couldn't recommend this property more - everything was perfect. Thank you!

Home Away From Home
This flat was amazingly centrally located. It was everything that we were looking for in a rental. All the major sights, Riva, Marjan Hill were within short walking distances.
There was a feel of living like a local - could shop for groceries at the Konsum, get fresh baked goods and eat amazing homemade ice cream at ‘Ela’s Icecream and more’ right below the building. The flat was very well equipped but having a drying rack for clothes and towels would have been the icing on the cake!
The smell of freshly baked goodies early in the morning woke us everyday!
As expected, there was a lot of noise from late night revellers but most of it was diminished by shutting the windows.
However the noise did not bother us ......we knew what we were getting into by choosing this flat & after all it was a small price to pay for living in such an amazing flat!

Lovely 1 bedroom apartment, bright, spotless, great location.
Excellent correspondence with Iva from the first email. Arrived early and was greeted by Zana who was very helpful. Apartment was bright, spotless and very comfortable - loved the old exposed walls - and right on the corner of the square, excellent location - seconds away from all the attractions, restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, pubs, grocery stores, and minutes away from the ferry and bus terminals - great to wake up to bread baking from the bakery next door. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

This small but well equipped property is right in the heart of the old centre, 2 minutes walk from Diocletian Palace and overlooking Nadodni Trg. Shops and restaurants are plentiful and easily accessible. We enjoyed our stay here and the atmosphere of being in the city centre.
We found the owner responded to our questions quickly prior to our visit. We would recommend this property, especially for people who like the hustle and bustle of city life.
Our stay in the apartment was marred slightly by a disagreement about a security deposit. We paid for this property upfront when booking but were still asked for a cash deposit upon arrival (900KN). Unfortunately, there was a 'misunderstanding' about how much we had paid and had only 500KN returned to us. Our advice would be for guests to ask for a receipt upon payment of this security deposit.

Extremely noisy unfortunately
This small apartment has been nicely renovated and is presented well. The owner was good to deal with pre arrival and the local manager was helpful and the apartment had lots of small useful touches. The kitchen was small but well equipped. The apartment has 2 main issues. Firstly, the noise. A restaurant / bar almost underneath the bedroom window was recently renovated and expanded. It was quite popular and there was considerable noise from it nearly every night until very late. Also considerable noise from late night revellers in general in the small laneways and in the mornings from the mechanised carts delivering produce to shops. Other main issue is the tiny bathroom, which was incredibly small and quite awkward to use, particularly accessing the shower and I am an average sized person. No shelves or anywhere to put toiletries.
No way this apartment could comfortably accommodate 4 adults. I would market it as 2 people Max and replace the large, uncomfortable sofa with something smaller and get a smaller dining table over to the side of the room. This would at least create more space in the small dining /lounge area. It would be a shame to remove the washing machine from the bathroom as it was useful, although as the dryer component wasn’t working we had to hang the washing around the furniture. Needs to be some sort of shelving added if possible. Really nothing you can do about the noise except use ear plugs.

Outstanding Location, Great Hosts, Nice Apartment
My wife and I stayed here with out 8 year old daughter. Were very comfortable and loved the location. The host helpfully met us outside of the palace and helped us to navigate our way through the Palace. We would definitely stay here again.

Cosy apartment in the heart of the old town
We had a lovely few nights here before departing on a week-long sailing trip.
The apartment is small but very well equipped and is right in the heart of the town.
It is noisy at night but we enjoyed the hustle and bustle of it all, and it was great being just a few minutes walk from the main sights.
The manager was easy to contact and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend

Where the action is!
This apartment is in the heart of Split’s Old City. We easily walked from the bus station, as well as to all the sites we wished to visit. I took one bus to swim in the excellent public pool. The apartment is very suitable for a couple. Clean, comfortable and very reasonably priced.

Mislead by Owner
This VRBO boasts that it accommodates 4 adults. This is false. It accommodates 2 at most. It has one bedroom and a pullout sofa, but the pullout sofa was damaged and could not be used. I tried to get my money back from the property manager to no avail. We were booked for 3 nights but ended up moving to a hotel the morning (Christmas Day) after the first night ( Christmas Eve. This was a huge disappointment.

Great apartment & Perfectly located
We really enjoyed this lovely apartment perfectly located in Old Split. Few steps from the main attractions. Immaculately clean, comfortable and fully equipped. We appreciated the washing /dryer unit.
We had a fantastic checkin and checkout from the Jelavić family. Their lovely son Frane came to pick us up at the marina after our Croatian sailing trip which was such a great help. It was surprisingly quiet at night. We highly recommend this place. We loved Split!

Lovely little place in the middle of Diocletian Palace
Excellent location right in the middle of Diocletian Palace. Every tiny space is used efficiently. All the amenities like European coffee maker, dishwasher, stove, oven, washer, excellent internet access. It is on the edge of the square so there is a bit of noise from the street below. Ms. Nela and her husband gave us tips on restaurants and was very accommodating when our connection was quite late.

Lovely space and well equipped! If you are noise sensitive it may not be the best choice, but it was steps to everything that Split has to offer… Very tidy and well-equipped with room to spread out!
