by the time we got to zagreb, we had been on road traveling through croatia and montenegro for 6 long weeks. of all the 6 places we stayed at before zagreb, some were nice with very kind and thoughtful owners; some were darn right unacceptable in term of bare minimum of hospitality. but even the better ones had glaring issues that made us shake our heads. most common ones 1) shower heads have no holder, so you have to hold it in your one hand, leaving with only the other to clean. 2) tub has no curtains or enclosure - impossible to use it as a shower without flooding the whole floor 3)terrible worn out mattress 4) bleak lighting because there was no table lamp or floor lamp 5) no microwave 6) not enough hot water because there was only one small hot water tank 7) tiny uncomfortable sofa. the reason i listed all the issues we had to endure is to tell you why i consider davor's apartment the best from this 6 week long journey. not only does it have everything in the kitchen, but also the apartment is so well appointed i could tell right away that he put much thought and consideration into it as if this was a home in which he lives himself. none of the details should be taken for granted when traveling in croatia. from big cushy sofa both myself and my 196 cm tall husband could sink into to the biggest shower i have seen all this time (and it is NOT a quarter round!!), from furniture whose shape and color calm you to the mattress that makes you say "ah" the first moment you sat on it, this is a true home. as a matter of fact, this is the only property that has floor lamps! so that at night, we can enjoy watching TV in a nice ambience. i felt very lucky our last stop on this trip was at davor's place because for most of the time we were in zagreb, it rained. so we ended up spending a lot of time inside the apartment. if the place was not much of a home, i think i would have gone bonkers! so if you are going to zagreb, this place would be perfect.
