Kate's Place, Dubrovnik — Hotel in Dubrovnik

Apartment:||Extremely clean and directly overlooking the Adriatic. You can rely on the pictures from the website. We rented apartment #2 Lavender.||Microwave, coffee machine, fridge, stovetop and all good quality ustensiles/pots to prepare a vacation quality meal.||We did not use the Air Conditioning due to confortable weather and breeze from patio doors, during this period.||TV is also provided. We did not explore, we were at location to enjoy the patio and Adriatic.||Table is available inside and on the patio with umbrella provided. Beautiful sun all day and sunset.||Good size bathroom||We already knew that apartment provided 1 bedroom with 2 single beds plus a couch to be opened in the living room. Not an issue for us. On vacation, we are very relaxed customers. Free parking space provided by the apartment.||Location:||Residential or an oasis of quietness in the turbulent (very?) Dubrovnik.||Walking to old town could be between 15 - 25 minutes, depending on individual.||Very agreeable walk with interesting Adriatic views along the way, charming old houses with beautiful cascading flowers. We walked slowly and took some pictures of sceneries...what is the rush?||Once you leave the apartment street and turn for the Old Town, there are 3 large hotels (with all amenities and taxi stand) 2 corner store groceries and 1 local bakery with long opening hours.||Near Pile Gate (Old Town Entrance), there is a very good bakery with all types of fresh sandwiches available.||Restaurants nearby: ||We went to Pizzeria El Toro twice. Good menu choice, indoor or outdoor seatings. Very good service, wine, beer and food. We eat fresh SeaBass grilled perfectly with fries. ||We did not try the restaurant facilities of nearby hotels.||Magellan Restaurant and Caffee Bar was recommended. But we did not try.||With the exception of Old Town or major hotels, Dubrovnik does not offer many sea view local restaurants.||Madonna restaurant is also very good in Lapad area. Not walking distance from Kate’s place and no sea view. However, next to a Mega Kozum, where you can pick-up variety of groceries for a longer stay.||Lapad area has more hotels and apartments. Otherwise, nothing special and very far from Old Town. Transportation is required.||||Mrs Kate:||Great host. Always available but never intrusive. Very dedicated to making your stay enjoyable. Welcoming with beverage of your choice, Dubrovnik map review and a constant source of local information. We enjoyed a bottle of wine on our terrace the last night together at her invitation and truly enjoyed her company.||||GRUZ Bay:||Port of arrival for cruise ships. Lots of coffee bars, banks, restaurants, Mega Pemo Grocery store. Very lively and more local then tourist. We walked from apartment. 30-45 minutes each way. Not recommended, if you do not wish to explore or enjoy walking, like we do.||Surprisingly, nothing special in this area. We were glad that we had elected not to rent an apartment in this area. Very noisy and high level of traffic.||Old Town:||Beautiful, very busy with tourists even this early in the season. ||Arsenal Restaurant in the old town offers beautiful water view, great food, excellent service.||To be expected, restaurants in Old Town are more expensive than other local areas.||Dubrovnik: This is the topography of the place.||Expect to encounter stairs everywhere; difficulties with finding public parking spaces; expensive taxi services (meters). Smaller than we anticipated and more busy or noisy.||Should we return to Dubrovnik:||||Our best decision was selecting Kate’s Place to suit our personalities and...

We stayed in Kate’s place in the beginning of july for 5 nights. At first we were only supposed to stay 2 nights but when qe changed our plans Kate was very helpful in helping us find a place next door for the first 3 nights. Kate is a great host, very accomodaring and helpful with anything you may need, she truly made us feel at home. The apartment was clean, cozy and had everything we needed to stay comfortable. The location is very good, about a 25 min walk to the old town and 10 min to the closest beach. A small supermarket is located a 5 min walk away. It was also easy to find a parking space on the street outside of the apartment. If you visit Dubrovnik I definetly recommend Kate’s place. Especially if you are...

Booking an apartment with a balcony with sea view seemed a bit optimistic towards the end of October, but actually we had both breakfast and dinner there! It was a lovely place with a nice bed room, small sitting room/kitchen and then the balcony. Everything was very clean. The hostess, Vesna, even picked us up at the bus station and showed us around in the area, pointed out how to walk to the city centre and what bus to take if you didn't want to walk. There were some food shops quite nearby. The area was very peaceful.|Our only complaint were that wifi didn't work perfectly,...
