The position of the apartment was perfect as it was handy to everything we wanted to do. Restaurants, shops, sights and pubs. The only down side is the noise from people talking outside but this didnt effect us too much as we were pretty exhausted after very busy days exploring.
We had a lovely visit in Spllit staying at an elegant condo in the heart of the castle in Split! They were very accommodating for us meeting us and getting us set up!
Check in with super easy, facilities top notch. Beautiful apartment, completely walkable to everything. We loved being able to come back to the apartment freshen up relax a little bit and then get back out and explore. Super easy to communicate with and was flexible with check-in.
The property manager was first rate. She communicated with us beforehand, met us at the apartment, explained everything we needed to know, and responded quickly when I had a question. The apartment is well located in the old city. It is comfortable and clean. We stayed just two nights but could have enjoyed staying longer.
A few stairs, close to the action , quaint, lovely host. So cool to be in the palace, is a busy plac
Fun, lots of restaurants, shops and Gelato! Music and fetivities day and night

Such a great location! It's an easy walk in, next to the square, short walks to the palace and waterfront. The apartment is a good size with an equipped kitchen, small bathroom but plenty of hot water. Air conditioned in both bedroom and main room. Met by the host who is very helpful and friendly. One thing to mention is that it can be a bit noisy due to the proximity to the square.
It was a convenient location right next to the square and easy access to the key sites. Zana was very helpful and patient as we arrived latr than expected. Thank you!
Great location and property. Some noise at night but to be expected.

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.

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.
