We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here, one night before and one night after a cruise. The helpfulness and friendliness of Ivan and Kate was wonderful and it was so nice to be met straight off the flight. Their house has the most amazing views over Dubrovnik and it gave us a feel for real life in Dubrovnik as opposed... More

I would just like to echo the words of professionalwanderer about the hostile email the owner would send you if you did not provide a review that he feels is reasonable. His email was unprofessional an stated wrong facts trying to defend his hidden charges of 5 euros for air-conditioning and 5 euros for transport to main bus station stating... More

Me and my partner stayed at Ivan and Kate's apartments in July 2011 for five nights. Ivan collected us from the airport, enroute showing us where to go, local bus routes etc. He gave us a glass of freshly made lemonade on arrival...delicious! The rooms are basic but with everything you need and clean, and with ours having a balcony... More

4 of us fellas stayed here as part of our trip around Croatia and Bosnia. We took two of the double rooms with ensuite. The rooms themselves are quite basic but they have air con and one of them had its own terrace with amazing views of the sea and harbour. Ivan the owner is a fabulous host and he... More

Great little place. Ivan, the owner, is the perfect host.

Lifts to/from ports/airports/stations can be arranged with him, which made it... More

A very friendly family run business. Clean, with private balcony or patio, private washroom,use of communal kitchen, and breakfast included. Internet available. Ivan, the host, speaks english well. The view is amazing. We walked into the old city (20 minutes), but bus service is available. Ivan will give you all the details you need about local transportation. We would definitely... More

I went for a weekend with 'er indoors to get away from the kids and accidentally stumbled on this amazing place while looking for a reasonable hotel. If you like something different, cheap, fantastic balcony views, included local style breakfast (bread, cheese, boiled egg, complete with odd local tomato jam and strange apple tea), Ivan is truly the nicest place...
