Excellent apartment, and laundry available just down the hall! Quiet, clean, plenty of space, well-appointed, and a terrific location! It's car-free, with easy access to bike share and ride share is a 2min walk. It's also a great corner of the old-town neighborhood, not too busy, but fantastic restaurants and coffee and a bakery all very close. Wonderful, warm, highly responsive hosts! Highly recommended!

A very peaceful, clean , compact apartment in old town. It was very convenient for getting around on foot, as the town is pedestrian only. We did not have a car, but do feel it maybe a little more difficult to use one, as of the driving restrictions in the area. Enjoyed exploring the stores and cafes along the water, took a tour of the city….very beautiful city. Also, took a few tours to explore more of Slovenia…recommend checking out the caves and Lake Bled. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Marvelous base in Ljubljana's old town

We enjoyed the nice tiny appartement to explore Ljubljana's old town as well as the rest of the country. A quiet place in the heart of the town where the main pedestrian area starts with many restaurants, bars and shops. We enjoyed the vivid city life during our relaxed stay and started exploring the countryside with it's green nature and places of world heritage. A wonderful place for a holiday we strongly recommend.

Great Location!

We had a great stay at Barrio Alto! The location was amazing for accessing the old city of Ljubljana. We loved being in walking distance to everything, including the castle. The apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the charm of the building as well. Parking was not an issue for us as we’re happy to walk a ways, but if you need to be able to park really close, be sure to look into the options provided by the host.

Excellent quiet lication

Communicating with the owner through WhatsApp made everything smooth and seamless. Pia’s recommendations from dinner to ice-cream and transportation were spot on. She was kind enough to arrange for taxi pick up which was above and beyond. The space is roomy. Shower is excellent and beds were very comfortable. The location allowed us to easily walk the area and see the sights.

September at Barrio Alto

Lovely modern apartment in very old building. Everything we needed for a short stay( 5 days ). Pia & Dan most welcoming & helpful. The only thing wrong was the weather! After 2 days it absolutely poured down but we still managed to get about without a car. Especially enjoyed the City Museum, the puppetry museum at the Castle And the Botanical museum at the Castle

Perfect apartment in a fabulous location!

We are so thankful Púa approved our request to stay at Barrio Alto! The apartment itself is lovely. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, comfortable sofa, and nice kitchen! It looks over a courtyard and we enjoyed watching the neighbor’s kitties play. The access to a washer AND dryer was exceptionally welcome as this was an 8 night stop in a 2 1/2 month journey. The location also could not be more perfect. Restaurants, museums, shops, bakeries, grocers, etc are everywhere and such fun walking around Ljubljana. We had a rental car and were able to park about a 6-7 minute walk from the apartment. The car also allowed us to visit other areas of Slovenia as well as Croatia - all easy half day trips! Thank you, Pia for all of your help and kindness!

Good location and facilities. Comfortable.

Only room for one, or two very good friends, but TV sofa, cooker, hob, toaster, good selection of cooking pots and utensils and free WIFI. Shower, toilet and washbasin all work well. Storage cupboard. Didn't need the heating, so cannot comment. Very comfortable. Minor points: I couldn't get the fan in the hood over the hob to work. I just opened a window. One of the mains sockets didn't work, and another was working, but coming away from the wall. Overall very comfortable and convenient. Recommended.

Many thanks for your comments, the instructions for the heating are in the apartment and guests can set it to their own comfort and we would have also been more than happy to come and adjust the temperature for you if you had contacted us. As for natural light, there are three windows, two in the living room and one in the bedroom and other guests have not mentioned that it is dark, but appreciate that perhaps the weather was not the best during your stay.

Had three nights in Slovenia and enjoyed our stay at Pia’S and Dans place. Due to data issues, we were late but walked right into Pia and her delightful twins. She instantly got us in then returned to her kids who were on their way to a party. Great location near some wonderful restaurants.

Loved the place - very comfortable bed, kitchen has everything you need, filled with quality details and furnishings. In a great old neighborhood with several restaurants and cafes within a block. Walking up the hill takes you to a park, trails, and the old castle. Highly recommended.
