Read moreDuring our time in Split we stayed in 3 different apartments. This was absolutely the worst. Despite costing $200 AUD for one night (which is not cheap), this apartment gives the impression of being a real cheap “get the job done” type of apartment designed to churn money from tourists without making any effort to create an enjoyable experience or gain return travellers. We are really quite unsure where all the 5 star reviews (on Expedia) have come from as they seem completely unrepresentative of the room.||||Although it is close to town, it is in an area that is much dirtier than the side of town towards Marjan (much more beautiful and apartments cost same or cheaper to stay). This area is full of tourist clubs and tourist kebab shops and missing all the beautiful authentic Croatian cafes and restaurants that are elsewhere in Split. ||||The room is tidy, but we were shocked that there is no bathroom. There is literally a toilet/shower inside the bedroom with a curtain around it (which didn’t appear this way in the photos or we certainly would not have booked). There was a swinging door that was meant to close the shower or swing to close the “bathroom” however it didn’t seal. There was no sound barrier from the toilet and the toilet is literally open to the bed. This is just so unacceptable and out of keeping with the standards of similar price apartments in Split (and the living standard in Croatia generally).||||In addition, the TV had a broken signal and the internet was a very poor connection. A note on the table says the “tea station is free” but there was just a single mint teabag in the tea box. Furthermore the “minibar” asked for an outrageous 3 euros for a bottle of water, but the fridge was completely empty. Additionally we were provided with one thin shower towel each, and no floor mat or face washer (basic things that seem to be the baseline standard here). ||||The most concerning thing was the bedroom lock. When you lock the bedroom door from the inside, it can actually be opened to around 5cm to a “lock” position. This was quite uncomfortable overnight as the door could be opened a portion by anyone. It did however lock completely from the outside with a key.||||The bed got the job done (again very cheap pillows and linen), the only good thing about this apartment was the blackout blinds. Host was friendly and made check in easy enough but this did not make up for the rest of this place. We would certainly not return or recommend - you can stay in many beautiful apartments with proper facilities near Marjan for the same or...
We stayed here for 3 nights whilst in Split. The location is fantastic, only a 2-3 minute walk to the main area. ||||Unfortunately the apartment is not 4 star as advertised. The bathroom was in need of a good scrub, the bed had stains on the frame, and overall the room just didn’t feel clean. ||||Parking is a bit tricky, in order to get free parking you have to park in a fortress which is a bit further up and gets full VERY quickly. ||||It’s a shame the room wasn’t up to scratch as the host, Antony, was lovely and incredibly helpful. If you’re expecting a 4 star accommodation, would...
Read moreWe have just returned from a 5 night stay in Split and would definitely recommend this apartment based on its location. 10 min walk to the beach, 2 mins to the centre and around 20 min walk to Marjan Hill. The room was fairly small but perfectly adequate and clean which a lovely shower and tea making facilities. Being almost 6 months pregnant I was worried the bed may not be very comfortable but it was perfect. ||Overall a great stay in Split and Pero was so helpful and gave us really useful information about the places to visit and some tips on how to avoid the...
