If you are looking for a place to stay that is close to all attractions including the beach, has great staff, is clean and has THE BEST air conditioning in all of Europe- this is the place for you. Nicholas was the best host we have ever worked with- very welcoming, attentive and helpful. Everything that you want to see in Split is a short walk away and the air conditioning was top notch. We would stay here again and ten outta ten recommend.

The property was in a cute gated compound with easy walking distance to attractions. Nicholas was very helpful during check in process. The only thing that was a bit odd was the sliding bathroom door which had gaps.

Charming and practical

Charming accomodation near the city centre. I especially liked the possibility to enjoy the outside areas, the cooling air conditioning and the kind hosts. We stayed in a one-room flat and had everything we needed. If you want luxury you should find another place, but if you want to enjoy the city of Split and stay at a comfortable and central little flat, this is perfect!

Overall very nice, only a few minor issues

Overall very nice. The only issues were the chandelier near the window being always in the way, and that all lamps had cool blue light bulbs making it hard to fall asleep. We missed warm lights.

Die wirklich gute zentrale Lage , auch die Möglichkeit in der Nähe zu essen war ideal. Die Ausstattung des Studios war leider nicht so wie erwartet. Eine kleine billige Kaffeemaschine wäre sicher eine gute Investition. Einen Mokka zuzubereien ist nicht Jedermanns Sache . Der Manager war absolut unserer Meinung, sagte aber ,daß der Besitzer daran kein Interesse hat.Schade. Die Sauberkeit im Außenbereich läßt ebenfalls zu wünschen übrig.

I believe there was an administrative error so we did not get our room in the hotel but staff had found us an alternative which turned out to be an upgrade in our booking. We were grateful that they took care of this without us having to worry at all but can’t provide any comment on the hotel facilities. Check-in was easy and we were provided loads of helpful info for our stay.
