Major-league holiday!
Keep in mind that you are booking through a travel agency here on Airbnb, not directly with the host.
The apartment was very clean and as shown in the pictures, no doubt about that. The experience was less likely to recommend for people seeking a piece of mind and privacy. Others might find it okay.
The host kept asking us to provide an additional deposit in cash which we explained is not how it works on Airbnb (the host didn't have a clue about how Airbnb works, nor that we have booked the place here). Once we settled that, the host kept messaging on a daily basis and in the end insisted on meeting us during the checkout to inspect the place.
The swimming pool looks like it's on the neighborhood property rather than on the one we rented from one side and from the other it's straight next to the street. There's not much privacy since elderly people live next door, so we haven't even taken a bath. Neighbors (or family members of the host?) kept asking us why we were not taking a bath, where we were going when leaving the place, that we surely don't mind they walking left and right through the garden, etc. One day we finally again decided to have a coffee in the garden while the neighbors came on the land to plant kale next to us, which is an amazing and noble activity for them, but not while the place is rented and guests seek some privacy.
In the end, while staying at this house we were more avoiding it than spending time in the garden, on the pool or within the house itself. Which is a shame since it's not something we were promised or charged for.
As a disclaimer, this is often the case on the Croatian coast and being from Croatia myself - it hurts to see that people don't understand what renting the property really means and that for some people quietness and privacy is truly appreciated while on vacation. We simply haven't got that here and we were spending more time managing the booking than enjoying what the property has to offer.
