Stayed 2 nights in Split. Our host, Toma, was extremely communicative. If you book through Expedia, be sure to send a message when you expect to arrive because our host had to meet us to let us in and show us around. We were walked through the property, given a tour of the room, AND Toma provided a list of recommendations for nearby attractions within walking distance, restaurants, and gave us a little bit of history about the building and its surroundings. The rooms were newly renovated, comfortable bedding, came with a mini fridge and a nespresso machine with a variety of glassware (in case you feel like enjoying wine), a blow dryer and a steamer that worked like a charm. Oh and the bathroom had the BEST walk-in rain shower. Loved this place - would come again - highly recommend! Can’t thank Toma enough for being an amazing host :)

The location was in within the walls of the old town palace. The rooms were very clean and modern. We could walk easily to excellent restaurants within minutes. We did have a problem gaining access to the prpperty in the there was no on-sight staff. And we had to enlist the help of a shop owner to call the property manager to come get us to take us to the facility and give us keys, etc. It would help to have information provided a day prior to our stay - such as access codes and directions for how to find the facility.

Our stay at this apartment was fantastic. The building is currently being renovated in the stairway but the room was beautiful! The location is perfect inside the walls of the palace, close to everything including shops, restaurants and bars. The only downfall we found was the lift wasnt working but im sure this will be part of the renovations. The host was more than happy to assist with our bags and communication was clear and simple through Whatsapp. Highly recommend anyone going to Split to stay here! We definitely will if we ever get the opportunity!

The location of the property could not have been better. Even though it is a extremely busy area, the sound proofing in the windows makes for a quiet stay. My one and only complaint is that for this price they should have had separate shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. They had one bottle of soap in the shower to wash everything and no conditioner!
