We were on the second floor, which seems newly renovated, was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. However, the promised Wifi was not available in this apartment and therefore the TV did not work (not a huge problem for us as we don't go on holiday to watch TV but it shouldn't be advertised as having that facility). There is no outside seating with this apartment and when we tried to have lunch one day at a bench in the garden, we were told in no uncertain terms that that furniture belonged to another apartment and we were not to sit there! We could sit at the owners table but as they had long lunches and dinners there with their friends, it was never an appropriate time for us. There was no welcome pack - a bottle of water at least would have been appreciated - and therefore no hints and tips as to bus numbers and times for example. I read a visitors book which waxed lyrical about bowls of fresh figs and grapes and homemade wine offered and even a welcome night - don't expect any of that. All the owner had to say was that she wanted it to rain! You are allocated one 'towel' each - it's a small hand towel and it, and the bedding, is not refreshed while you are there. There is a washing machine in the owners bit if you can summon up the courage to ask to use it. There is no BBQ outside - if there was, it was hiding and we weren't shown one. The outside kitchen is a normal kitchen in a shed, which is kept locked. I am 5' 3" and it took 5 breast stroke arms to cross the pool, so not as big as in the picture and the sun beds are hellishly uncomfortable so purchase of a mat is a good idea. There is one restaurant in this residential area (not bad), 2 supermarkets and 3 bakeries. The only one small and very popular bar is down by the river and the beach is a shingle affair on the side of the river approximately 4m x 3m. We were told we didn't need a car. The bus to Dubrovnik is very frequent but very popular so packed to the gills and is fine if you are on a short stay. If you want to see anything different and are in the area for longer than 5-6 days, a car is advisable. Croatia is a beautiful country and I would recommend a visit - but not to these apartments - we actually checked into a hotel for a couple of nights, a welcome relief from the atmosphere and gritted teeth of the owner!
