Convenient location, basic accommodations
The communication was responsive however it's not clear what benefit there is to having to request the check-in information vs automatically emailing it to me. The doorway is incredibly hard to find even with the photo in check in instructions as the alley is dark. It should be noted the apt is up 3 flights of stairs, a struggle with luggage. Although agent replied quickly, action was not taken. Upon arrival, I noticed the hand soap was empty and the shower drain was clogged. Water accumulates in less than 1 minute and is slow to drain. Bathroom missing bathmat/towel. I mentioned all of this at check in and they said they would send someone but nothing was done. The shower shelf is loose and lopsided, toiletries fall down. on checkout, I came into the apt at 10:55am to see that the apt door was open, sheets had already been changed, and some flowers I meant to take with me were thrown away. Check out is 11am so someone had clearly been in there for some time. I would expect any cleaning access to occur AFTER I had left and to NOT leave the door open when my things were still in the apt. This last part is not ok.

The listing showed an air conditioner unit in the bedroom, but it had been removed from the wall. The unit in the living room was broken and would not stay on. The hosts were very ineffective at managing this problem during our stay. Multiple times they would not respond to Whatsapp messages regarding this reoccurring issue.

Great location.
Finding the property was easy to find and the location was excellent. The room was large and clean, the eating area was more than adequate (you won't be coming any 5 course meals but it was ideal for breakfast. Checking in was easy and having a code to come in instead of a key (also available) was great for beach days.

This place was OK to stay. I stayed in DS1. It had washer and dryer in the unit. Few things that I didn’t like was following: 1. The old town main entrance was at north west corner, but this place located at south East corner. It was long way to walk. If anyone has problems with walking long way, don’t choose DS1. 2. I don’t know about crime rate in the city, but you are on your own at all time and no know will receive your call at nighttime. I had to check all the doors and windows to secure the place. 3. I felt that It will be better if bed sheets could be little more cleaner. I also had Difficulty on finding hotel late night without cellphone signal and Instructions on opening doorlock was confusing, but I already told the hotel about this. So I hope they fixed it by now. The following is nothing to do with hotel but My personal disappointment about the old town city. Dubrovnik was my dream place but after I visited once, I was very disappointed. It is because of dining cost. US dollar to Kuna is about 1:7, but I only got 550 kuna with $100 bill at the airport. The Old town Main Street dining place charge about 200-300 kuna per meal. It is about $40-60. I didn’t expect to spend $40-60 per meal even while I am on vacation. I think they really need to lower dining cost if they want me to revisit the place.

The property is in a great location. Was not pleased that we were given torn towels and there was no matress cover on the bed. The bathroom.smells very strongly of damp.and the extractor unit fir the restaurant at the front is right by the apartment window so the flat smells of cooking smells all the time. If yiu have any mobility issues do not book as there is a soiiral stair case.

Location in the Old City was EXCELLENT! Just outside the Cathedral; central to all that the Old City has to offer. Unit DB3 was billed as an efficiency apartment on the 3rd level. First-time visitors to the Old City should be aware that stairs are a fact of life there; come prepared to lug baggage up 72 narrow steps from entrance to apartment; 88 steps from street level. Apartment comfortable enough; clean.

The property is in great location right in old Town minutes walk to everything, however is located above a seafood restaurant and had a funky odor not sure if from the restaurant or the cleaning solutions they used. Also since right in old Town if you're light sleeper may be too noisy for you.

Apartment is outdated, AC was broken and they did not fix it during our stay. Customer service was not helpful they don’t check in with you throughout your stay. They aren’t even willing to hold your luggage in their office if you arrive before check in time. Not worth the price I paid. Very disappointing.

Amazing views
The views from the DD4 terrace were breathtaking. It overlooks the main entrance road, and the music was loud into the night. But it is part of the atmosphere. Very clean. Great shower. Be prepared - there are 4 flights of steep winding stairs to get to this unit. Easy to find. Good WiFi. Emailed directions were clear. However, there is zero customer service from the emails. I sent several and never received any responses.

Poor service, noisy location.
There are things I knew, the old town is noisy at night, the place is pricey. I didn't know that in all 4 days we were in the apartment they won't clean the bathrooms even once (no room of the apartment to tell the truth, but the bathrooms you notice). The locating is great, close to everything, but the apartment in on top of a lively pizzeria, they start working early and close late, if you are a light sleeper, refrain from renting this property.

This apartment is spacious and beautiful, and ideally located in Old Town. The roof deck is a particular bonus and has amazing views of the town and port. Check in was a little difficult as we weren't given the code to the apartment (just the building) so I had to call while on international roaming.

Best location in old town Dubrovnik
Best location in old town Dubrovnik! The apartment is situated in the main Centre so everything is close by. We stayed in the apartment with rooftop terrace. The apartment itself is beautiful and the patio amazing with wonderful views. The one thing to note is that there is no oven, no power kettle (only one for stove plates); and the there is only 2 old type stove plates which takes forever to get really warm and also to cool down. Extremely difficult to make food with if you used to gas or similar quick types. That makes the kitchen less self catering and we were so hoping to make something for Christmas. Also make sure you spend extra time ensuring the agree to your arrival time and exact location - We thought we did and still waited 25 minutes for the host after the agreed time. Otherwise good and recommended.

The apartment we had (by Mea Culpa pizzeria) is in the middle of everything. Positive in terms of location, negative in terms of outside noise. Great balcony. 1.5 baths which was great. Big room was comfortable, but lots if outside noise. Smaller room window did not really keep outside air out. Luckily there was another blanket. Staff was great- fantastic even until the very last moment. We had made arrangements to leave our bags at the office until the airport transfer they had arranged for us picked us up. No one was at the office to let us in to get our bags. Luckily we ran into who might have been the cleaning lady (spoke no English, very friendly) and she allowed us to get into the office to get our bags to leave for the airport.

Comfortable luxury in Dubrovnik old town
The location is great and only a couple of stairs...although as with I suspect all accommodation within the old town, there is no lift within and you have to carry your luggage upstairs. The room was spacious ..probably too big for only two of us who spent nearly all the time outside. The reception is helpful and accommodating. Just a general advice about staying within old towns in general. The rubbish pick up and deliverys are carried out in the early mornings before the horde of tourists. Also, there are many restaurants and smell of fish is unavoidable. These are minor irritation to staying within Dubrovnik old town. As with all things in Dubrovnik it is more pricey than equivalent standard accommodation in the rest of Croatia but you're paying for location, location, location. Against this background, if you want to stay within Dubrovnik old town I would recommend this hotel.

Noisy but central
The Apartments were very difficult to find, you cannot get there by Taxi so you will need to push your bags through town and could travel a reasonable distance. The ladies in the office were very helpful. The apartment was nice, but the TV had no english speaking channels, and the apartment above had a wooden floor so we were kept awake for most of the night you could hear everything. The apartment is centrally located so close to shops and restaurants.
