Fantastic apartment in brilliant location

Our recent stay at Poetry House was fantastic, it is located right in the heart of the old town and has so much on it's doorstep - restaurants, bars, shops, waterfront, etc. all just a short stroll away. Andrea and her team were so accommodating and welcoming, we would definitely stay in their lovely apartment again, especially as it has a lovely terrace to relax on after a day of sightseeing in beautiful Split.

We enjoyed our stay in Poetry House. The location is excellent - right in the heart of old town, with everything you need only a short walk away. The property is quiet, comfortable and convenient. The host allows self check-in which gave us extra flexibility as we were arriving late at night. Parking can be difficult to find in the area as many of the streets are pedestrianised - althought we did manage to find parking on all days, just requires a bit more patience!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This was a very unique and cool way for our group to spend our last night in Split. You are nustled away in the alleys which makes you feel like a local, but when you get inside you realize the Poetry House is actually a funky/hip spot with lots of space. You are also walking distance to the Riva and the main tourist attractions. The rooftop is great for a mellow evening and to be outside without being on top of all the other tourists. Highly recommend just make sure you give them a heads up on when you plan on checking in.
