Fantastic apartment!

The host was brilliant and could not have been more welcoming. The apartment was way beyond what we expected and really was lovely with great bedrooms and lovely comfortable beds. The bathrooms were lovely and clean and the whole place just felt like a home from home. With a walk into the centre which took around 10 minutes we couldn't have asked for more.

Superb stay

First of all, the owner, Enis, was very helpful and friendly - above and beyond what we expected. He immediately made us feel welcome. The property isn't the easiest to find but our excellent driver found it though there was a short walk down the road. This property is at the top of one of Sarajevo's hills, affording you incredible views throughout the day. The one caveat is that there IS a tiring hill to conquer each evening though getting a taxi is an option. We walked the hill every evening and even though it was difficult, the view that greeted us was remarkable. Also, as it is away from the centre, the property is a haven. There is a bakery and supermarket around the corner and the apartment itself is excellent - comfortable bed, good kitchen and plenty of extras throughout. I loved Sarajevo and Bosnia in general, and I loved staying at this property. Unbelievable price too.

Handy for the old town

The apartment is not huge but three of us were comfortable. Nice situation away from the hustle and bustle but only five minutes from the old town. Wife and I shared the bedroom while my cousin had the sofa bed in the lounge but there was also a fold up bed if preferred. The kitchen was functional but could have had a washing up bowl or plug for the sink. There was a small dishwasher but it wasn’t worth putting it on for a few cups so a bowl and a tea towel would have been good. Also we had to borrow a corkscrew from a neighbour but I have pointed these things out to the owner and he has taken them on board. Overall though it was a good choice for us and we enjoyed our stay.
