Liked: Ivan was a great host - he made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay in Dubrovnik, picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station, and was always available to answer questions and offer recommendations. The views from our balcony were incredible and the en suite room & full kitchen were a great base for our stay in Dubrovnik.
Disliked: The walk to and from the Old City is quite a trek! Be prepared for a workout or take the bus - Ivan will make sure you know where & when it runs (it stops very close to the property).

Liked: Ivan and Kate are friendly, kind hosts who genuinely care about their guests having a great time. The room was exactly as described, very clean with a great view over Lapad Bay. We enjoyed taking our breakfast on the balcony each morning.
Disliked: Nothing. Although we were caught by surprise at the extra charge of 5€ per day for air conditioning. At the time of booking this was not made clear.

Liked: Ivan and Kate are very helpful, give you the full lowdown on the local area, where's good to eat, what buses to catch etc. Breakfast included is good, coffee exceptional. We had a sea view room, which includes a balcony with amazing views over Lapad peninsula.
Disliked: The location is not ideal if you're looking to explore the old town area. Also, note that on leaving rides to the bus station are charged, but at 5 Euros, not 3 as stated on the website.

Liked: Good view from the balcony and breakfast is included. Free pick up service from bus station.
Disliked: it's really far away from the old town or bus station. It is high on the hill which makes it quite difficult to walk especially with big backpack! I would say if you just stay one night in Dubrovnik, better choose one near to old town or bus station if you are taking buses.

Liked: Ivan and Kate were very good hosts. Ivan came for us at the ferry when we arrived at Dubrovnik, and explained to us how to get around the city and what to see. A good breakfast was also included, the only apartment we found to provide breakfast at no extra cost.
Disliked: It is located half way between the ferry/bus station and the old city, so it means that you have a 20 minute walk either way you go, which I do not recommend to do late morning/early afternoon in the summer; however it is well connected by buses

Liked: Ivan and Kate are the perfect hosts (and definitely so much better than tourist information!), the view we had from our balcony was amazing, everything was clean, everything was working...we had such a brilliant time and the accommodation was really good value for money.
Disliked: The steps...but try finding a property without them in Dubrovnik. On the plus side, my thighs are feeling much more toned!

Liked: We loved everythinbg about this guesthouse: gorgeous view, great rooms, perfect location and the friendliest, most helpful hosts we have met so far this trip. Ivan and Kate went above and beyond to help us, not only in Dubrovnik, but also in planning our onwards journey, organising us busses and timetables etc. Many thanks especially to Ivan for racing down the hill to return a lost camera minutes before we left for Montenegro! This is a truly outstanding place to stay, and completely deserves a 100% rating.

View was fantastic and there is a clothesline so you can hang the wash(It's really useful) Hostel hosts are very warm and nice. They can speak English so you dont worry about communication. nice wifi, clean kitchen, breakfast was good(bread,coffee,cheese,milk) I recommend this lovely house!
Disliked: It's little bit far from old town(It takes 10 minutes by bus, 20 minutes on foot, no problem!!!) But you go to dubrovnik! You have to see great view at the balcony:D
