Nice location and nice apartment

Apartment was well maintained and in an excellent location. Check-in process was smooth and the staff were very helpful. The only issue I had was with the parking. It was very narrow and had a tough time managing to park my car and take it out

Lovely location with a great view of the sea. The lady who showed us to our room was fantastic and very helpfull. Bus stop right outside the property for split or in the other direction Omis. Far better than staying at a hotel in the area, restaurants shops and bars all within a few minutes walk. I highly recommend this property for your stay. Stayed for 3 nights and can not fault the place at all.

Nice place, clean and neat. Good location and parking option. Take into consideration that going up the stairs is not an issue. We had the apartment on the top floor. Very nice view but a lot of stairs. The lady who checked us in was very kind of helping us with the luggage.

Overall a great hotel and helpful staff. Pros: clean, modern, lots of amenities. Excellent beach across the street. Has parking. We really enjoyed our stay. Cons: it is about15-20 min drive to Split, but in the morning it took us over an hour to reach Split. This is due to only 1 road that crosses the river and its lights flash amber (no traffic control). This was consistent over the 3 days we passed by the area. Also, turning into the property is difficult depending on which way you arrive, but this is minor. Google maps will take you through a longer but better route. Laundry service is 15 euros

Johnny’s apartment was a great place to stay. It’s located just a short walk across the road to the beach, restaurants and bars. About a 5 minute walk south and you’ll find a bakery and grocery store. The balcony views of the sea are fantastic, the staff was helpful and very friendly. The only downside fur is was the apartment unit we had was quite small and the bed wasn’t overly comfortable. Aside from that it was a great stay and beautiful place.

Clean and comfortable room with sea view

Very clean and comfortable room, and near enough to Split and yet quiet neighbourhood. Very nice view of the Adriatic coast if you have a room with a balcony. Good place to stay to avoid paying for pricey hotels in Split. Highly recommended if you are not looking at an accommodation without the full hotel service but good value for money inclusive of a breakfast.
