We were pleasantly surprised this beautiful apartment is exactly as advertised with stunning views and inside the Palace walls! Toma met us there for check in, he helped with luggage and our questions. Just used what’s app for easy communication. Highly recommend this beautiful apartment!

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!

Loved this property - the room, the view and location. I would suggest setting a specific meeting point with the host as it is not easy to find. Especially impressed with the decor and the washroom.

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.

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 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!

The location was amazing in a newly renovated space. It was wonderful to be in the heart of the area and within the palace walls. The building is almost finished being completed updated and we were the first to stay in one of the renovated apartments.

This was a newly renovated suite which was lovely and clean inside the palace walls. Well equipped kitchenette and lounge area. We stayed 5 nights but there was no full length wardrobe space for dresses and mattress and pillows were very firm but my husband preferred this. The en-suite was a bit squashed. Clean towels/linen are available in cabinet outside room. It’s 50 euros from airport for taxi. You also have to pay 20 euros on arrival for Expedia to clean apartment for when you leave plus the city tax. Deni was very helpful arranging help with taxis and luggage as lots of old steps in palace. You need codes for the doors as the electronic card did not work outside the room. We went on buses and catamaran trips as based in port which was very convenient. There are hundreds of tourists in Split every day from cruise ships so eating out is sometimes a chore due to lack of space in the better restaurants. There is a good Spar shop nearby as you will need bin bags, water, food essentials etc and alcohol is very expensive in the restaurants. There was a good fridge but no freezer section to make ice cubes. We also endured lots of mosquito bites unfortunately despite taking precautions. The apartment was an excellent base and air conditioning great if you keep the windows shut. We enjoyed our holiday and the apartment and used WhatsApp to keep in touch with owners as no reception. Thank you for your help Deni.
