Wonderful Accommodations, Ideal Location
Review Submitted: February 23, 2012

My wife and I arrived in Dubrovnik in September and spent 5 wonderful months there. We lived in the Apartment Rina. For us, the selection was perfect! We were met by the owner, Srecko, at the airport. On our way to the apartment, he stopped several times to show us the beauty of Dubrovnik. We arrived at the apartment and were very pleased with the accommodations and its IDEAL location. The apartment had 2 bedrooms, one bath and an additional WC, a spacious living room, a comfortable eating nook and a well-stocked kitchen. We had many visitors during our stay and often used the 2nd bedroom for them. The apartment was very clean and had many towels and sheets. We had both Air Conditioning and Heat, as needed. Both bedrooms were quite nice with plenty of storage. The living room/dining room was spacious and had a wonderful southern exposure! We had both satellite and digital TV reception. But who needed that… with everything else that was within walking distance or a short bus ride! We were within 1 block of a supermarket, 3 blocks from the bus stop, a 4 minute walk from the fantastic promenade (walking street) and 5 minute walk from the beautiful Lapad beach and the scenic Babin Kuk walk. For us, almost everything was within a 20 minute walking distance, including the Gruz (main harbor), the fish & vegetable market, and a host of eating places. Although Old Town was a 45 minute walk for us (and what beautiful sites along the way), one can also get there by bus in about 10 minutes. What a location! If you enjoy hiking along scenic paths, there are many in Dubrovnik. Petka mountain is right behind the Apartment. But the one I spent many hours on was the walk on the Babin Kuk side of Lapad Bay... what a sight a sunset... again, only 5 minutes for the apartment. We certainly enjoyed our stay, met many wonderful people, including Srecko, his wife Neda, and their wonderful daughter Marina. If we had any problem with the accommodations, Srecko was there to rectify it. He, his family, and the other tenants, made our stay most pleasurable! All of Dubrovnik is a very safe place for walking anytime day or night. I only regret that we could not have stayed longer. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit!
