The hosts communication was great- she was incredibly helpful in guiding us in Croatia and sharing the bus schedules. We booked this as a budget stay and definitely wish we stayed closer to the water / closer to more dining / beach options. Re-using towels/beach towels for 4 days started to get bothersome. The property was clean and the host was wonderful

It was a genuine feeling that they wanted us to have a really comfortable vacation. The use of WhatsApp to have a personal and swift communicationchannel was great. Appreciated the possibility to use the poolarea after checkout. Definitely recommend California Apartments especially for families with kids

Maria is so helpful and wanted to ensure we had a great holiday. She gave us lots of tips to make the most of our time in Dubrovnik.
The apartment was very clean as was the pool area. Little things like providing pool towels made a real difference.

Emäntä todella ystävällinen
Kaikinpuolin mukava majoituskokemus. Emäntä antoi paljon vinkkejä ja suosituksia rannoista ja ravintoloista. Bussi pysäkki noin 50 päässä, josta helppo yhteys vanhaan kaupunkiin.

Jeg gir stedet 5 stjerner!
Veldig renslig, komfortable senger, leiligheten er utstyr med alt man trenger og masse håndkler til både dusj og bad.
Veldig hyggelig vert med mye nyttig info og lett tilgjengelig om nødvendig.
Beliggenheten er sentralt til det meste, bra buss forbindelser og mulighet for parkeing til MC 2 min unna.
Anbefales!!

Utroligt dejligt sted
Et rigtig lækkert sted med en moderne lejlighed inkl. aircondition og terrasse, et skønt poolområde med lunt vand og rigtig god beliggenhed, hvor det er nemt at komme både ned i Dubrovniks gamle bydel, på restaurant og på stranden. Rent og rart at være i. Og ikke mindst en utrolig rar og hjælpsom ejer, der har styr på tingene, altid svarer på henvendelser undervejs, og som ikke tøver med at dele ud af tips og tricks til opholdet. Vi vil helt klart anbefale dette sted, og håber også selv at komme tilbage.

Exceptional apartments connected to a lovely farmhouse with amazing views of Dubrovnik and a lovely pool. Marija is the most warm and welcoming host I have ever met. We felt like we were visiting family. She is so knowledgeable about Dubrovnik and gave us great tips on how to make the most of our 2 day stay there. She lent us snorkelling equipment as well. Her son provided airport transfer to us at a great price. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we return to Dubrovnik. Marija is a gem of a person and is completely invested in ensuring all her guests have a wonderful time. We will always have lovely memories of this visit. Thank you so much from our whole family :).

Would highly recommend! Marija was the most welcoming host we could of ever asked for. From organising boat trips to telling us the best restaurants and spots to go to she had it all covered. Would certainly go back without doubt. Beautiful place.
Marina was a terrific hostess. She did everything possible to ensure we had a great stay in Dubrovnik. Her apartment was comfortable and very clean. She replied to all of our queries quickly and made our stay memorable.
Have to say a big thank you to Marija and Eli, they are both the nicest people you could ever meet! They are always available if needed and they really made us feel at home. We booked our day trips through Marija and they were very well priced and reliable, so definitely recommend booking any excursions when you arrive with Marija. Really can’t thank both of them enough they really made our stay, there is no intrusion they are only there when needed. Beautiful apartments and pool area, very comfortable and relaxing stay here. Bed was very comfortable and everything you need is available, washing machine located on the premises which is handy when you come back from the beach and there is also ironing facilities if needed. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, a 24 hr bakery is only a 2 minute walk away, and a large tommy supermarket is only a 10 min walk. Sunset beach and the promenade which is full of nice and affordable restaurants is around a 10-15 minute walk(casually walking) the old town is bit of a walk it took us about 40 mins casually walking and around 30 mins brisk so probably worthwhile getting the bus if needed, we always walked as the scenery is spectacular along the route.
Fabulous host, marija went out of her way to make sure we had maps, information about the area, transport to dubrovnik town and restauranrs.
Very kind and friendly lady.
The apartments are extremly clean, good lcation for all of dubrovnik area, fabulous and rekaxing private pool area
