My husband and I stayed at the apartment for 2 weeks in July. Everything about it was perfect. The location is in the middle of Dubrovnik, but completely private and quiet inside. I began my day and ended my evening (every day) on the balcony. It is a perfect little outside space. The apartment is attractive, clean, comfortable and the air conditioner works great! Along with the lovely apartment, you get the treasure of the manager Ivana. She has great suggestions and is super quick to respond to questions. If you go, here are some of our highlights -
1. Taj Mahal (Bosnian) Restaurant - make reservations and there are some dishes that you need to order 24 hours ahead of time. Chicken Leon was one of the best things I ate during our trip.
2. Day trips to Cavtat, Ston, Trogir and Korcula. We had a car and the drive is spectacular. But I'm pretty sure ferries also have service to those places.
3. If Lindo is performing, GO! It is traditional Croatian dancing and singing. And it is wonderful! We would have gone twice if we could have.
4. If you have a car, drive to Konoba and go to Vinica Monkovic restaurant. They have covered porches on an enchanting babbling river. It is a magical! I think you can also walk along the river. You might want to call there for reservations too if you want a table on the river. We got lucky that a reservation had just been cancelled when we stumbled upon it. There are plenty of tables near the river - but I wanted to be right on top of it.
Croatia is a beautiful country. I felt EXTREMELY safe everywhere we went. Most everyone speaks perfect English. Driving is SO easy - parking is a different story, but Ivana found affordable parking for us. It was a little hike to get to, but not terrible. If we didn't feel like walking up the hill, we just got a taxi.
