Disliked: Cleanliness
Non existent communication, heavily perfumed cat hotel
When we arrived in Dubrovnik we used maps to find Guest House Ivana but to no avail. We drove around and around looking for the apt. No luck. I tried to contact her through VRBO. I tried to contact DirectBooker. No response at all. When we finally found the staircase in the grocery store parking lot my husband went up to see if it was the place and she opened the gate for us. She made a comment about waiting and waiting which was irritating because she clearly never looked at the app to see the messages that I had sent. The main apartment doesn’t lock but the bedrooms do. There are a bunch of cats roaming around outside and they’ll come in if you leave the door open. My husband and son are allergic to cats- that should’ve been noted on the listing. There’s also an enclosed “cat hospital” out back with a lot of animal feces behind it. Gross. One of the most irritating things was that she heavily perfumed the place with some awful perfume. It was in several vases of fake flowers so we moved them outside the apartment door. She had also sprayed the curtains by the table and I couldn’t even eat in the kitchen. I get migraines from strong smells. Laundry costs 13 euros/load!! Parking will cost you around 20 euros/day. The kitchen towels were old dingy and greying. I don’t expect brand new but something that looks clean would be nice. I’d tell you how to get there but just save the trouble and go elsewhere. I’ve never been so excited to leave a place.
