Apartment Dubrovnik-Center

Our apartment was just in front of the Excelsior hotel in the area called Ploče. Fantastic location with free access to a garden/terrace with view over the old town and above the beach. And still at walking distance to the old town! Amazing! It was a very comfortable small apartment with a well furnished small kitchen. The family host was extremely friendly and gave us many good advices. We recommend this place and we would definitevely come back!

It has been a long time since I wrote a review, I think the last one was 2012 when I first stayed in one of the apartments of Stijepo and Ivana. Now I have returned every year to the same apartment, Lavanda. For me now, it is like a little home that I can be in my few days in Dubrovnik. It is small but so comfortable and functional, and so clean. The best part is the family, Stijepo and Ivana and their kind mama. There is nothing too much trouble for them. They have gone above and beyond for me, I am so lucky to have rented from them the first time and appreciate this lasting relationship. The view is so sweet from the terrace, Old Town is just 10 minutes walking, there are food markets close.. I have stayed also in their Old Town apartment but I much prefer staying in Lavanda (I guess this is obvious!) they get my highest recommendation and I travel a LOT. Thanks for everything, Ivana and Stijepo!

In reading other reviews: there appear to be two locations, IN old town and just outside gates. So make sure you pick right one for you. We stayed inside. We took Croatia main airport shuttle to Ploche gate then walked to apt. LOTS of Steps... But so cool. Stijepo met us at the apartment and spent 45 min acclimating us to map and recommendations for great food and cool spots. He was super friendly and passionate and we did EVERYTHING he said to. Haha. The 10% restaurant discount card was a treat too. We got lasagna at one of his recommendations which was delicious, Cevapi at Taj Mahal (omg), old pharmacy face lotion, little cove for beers north of wall, etc. The apartment is very cute and the location is amazing if old town is your base. Super cute street. Room is two twin beds pushed together (not like a king) if that matters to you. AC worked well. Shower is a little short (I have a tall friend who always asks me thinga like this) but worked fine for us. Very charming studio on adorable street. Would definitely stay here again and appreciate the hospitality!! Oh- he did give us an easier path for the exit with less steps! (Maybe send that out with confirmation for way in!) Ignore our messy bed ;)
