Karolina's House

The apartment has 51 steep steps, from street level up to the rooms. Which is ok if you are relatively fit, not if you need lift access, as there isn't one. The owners live underneath, and are there to welcome you; we had a warm welcome, and given local information by their daughter. There are 2 bedrooms, both with comfortable, clean beds, bedding provided. The lounge has air conditioning, which works well to cool down the apartment after a hot day sightseeing/beach. If you keep bedroom doors open, the A/C keeps you comfortably cool. The bathroom has a washing machine in it, but dials are in Croatian, so a translation note on top of machine might be useful. Towels provided. A simple but useful kitchen, which is equipped with basics, and there were a few extra provisions in the cupboards, thank you. It was my husband's birthday during our stay; and we got a knock on the door from the owner with a basket of wine and muffins. A very thoughtful gesture, thank you. The apartment is situated at the top of the promenade, which leads down to the beach, with restaurants on the way. And just off of the promenade, next to tennis courts, is a Hypermarket. Close by to apartment, is bus stop, where you can get number 6 bus, which will take you in to the Old Town, which takes about 15 minutes. You buy the tickets, NOT on the bus, but from a kiosk at bus stop or there is a kiosk opposite bus stop. Buses do get very busy... they cram you in! Opposite the apartment there is a nice bakers shop, friendly lady owner, which is open all day, serving breads and pastries etc. There are plenty sunbeds on the pebble beach; it looks newly renovated and very nice & clean. However the cost is high: 120 kuna (£14.50) per bed in standard place; 150 (£18) for the more exclusive area. This price includes an umbrella. We found it too expensive to use.

A place as comfortable as our own home! Great apartment, highly recommended. From the moment we have arrived friendly family met all of our special requests. The apartment was extremely clean, well-equipped and spacious. The peacefulness in such a central location is amazing and you are just few stops away from the old town center. For sure will return!

We visit Dubrovnik every year and July will be our second time staying here. You can’t beat the location as it’s just steps from the Uvala Lapad promonade and a quick bus to Old Town. The Antunović family are a pleasure to communicate with and are always helpful with new recommendations for the area. The apartment has all the amenties we need for a family of 3 and always very comfortable for our week stay. I look forward to returning next year!
