This property is perfect for a Dubrovnik stay. It's less than 2 kilometers from the old city, near two beaches, and right on the bus route that goes both to the old city and to other places as well. The property is simply decorated and is very clean. The main areas are air conditioned and the bedrooms have fans. We were there during a heat wave and we were always comfortable. The kitchen has the basic necessities plus a few extras and, in the three weeks we lived there, we cooked several fairly complex meals at home. But the true joy of the property is the patio, which overlooks the Adriatic Sea and the island of Lokrum; to the right, one can see the walls of the old city. We never tired of sitting out there, early mornings for coffee, evenings for a last glass of wine, and we certainly never tired of the view. The property comes with a washer that, unusual for Europe, does not go for 90 minutes but allows one to get the laundry done in a reasonable amount of time. The only slight drawback to the property are the stairs required to get to it. Our legs got stronger while we were there and we'd go back in a heartbeat, but for anyone with issues with mobility, walking up the stairs is challenging. There is simply no access to it without going either up or down about 75 stairs. That is true for almost all of Dubrovnik, but our strategy was to walk down the 75 stairs to the bus, and when we came home, take a taxi to the upper road and then walk the other 75 stairs down to the property. I would most strongly suggest not renting a car, as the on-street parking is limited, the street is narrow, the buses go everywhere, and there is virtually no place to park near the old city. Ana, who manages the property, is such a jewel and so helpful (even with luggage!) and kind. Her English is very good and she has lists of good restaurants and sites to see, as well as many guidebooks. Her hospitality is incredible; she had a driver waiting for us at the airport.
