I am not sure what went wrong for person who said she'd never stay here again, but I would strongly urge prospective guests NOT to be put off by this. The apartment is great - impeccably located, spacious, clean and charming. It has all the amenities you could require, as well as a lovely shower and area to sit down.

Lidija is a lovely hostess and happy to give you as much or as little info and advice as you require. She's also very kind and attentive and takes great care of the apartment.

I cannot stress enough how good the location of this apartment is. It's in the centre of the Old Town, so no long walks or public transport is required - though there are a lot of steps leading up to the apartment (however, Dubrovnik in general has a lot of steps).

This apartment is ideal for any couple looking for lovely, good value accommodation - right in the centre of the action. I would definitely stay here again on any future visits to this great city.

This review is actually two years overdue (we were in Dubrovnik in Sep 2008), but we so enjoyed our stay with Lidija & her family that I feel obliged post about it. I could tell on the walk up the steps to her place that our experience would be a good one - such a nice neighborhood! Lidija showed us around her place and gave us good recommendations for places to eat - always helpful when traveling somewhere new. Our quarters were clean & comfortable, and the neatest part of staying with her & her family was getting a glimpse of their day-to-day life, like seeing her son take the family dog out. If you're looking for a quaint place to stay in Dubrovnik, I recommend this one.

Apartment Plaza is in a nice location, between the main street of the old town and the upper part of the land walls. It's a bit of a slog with a suitcase but the area is lovely.

The only issue that we had was the quality of the bed. The double bed was 2 single beds pushed together. One of the beds squeaked really badly on any movement. The bed frames each had a single piece of particle board as a base and on one of them this board rubbed against the frame. I mentioned this politely to Lidija who started on a whole diatribe about this and that, initially not even accepting that there was a problem and not offering to do anything about it. Both my girlfriend and I found her reaction quite bizarre and a bit upsetting.

While Lidija is definitely a friendly and outgoing person she needs to learn better how to deal with the sort of polite complaints that come up when dealing in the hospitality business.

My husband and I spent a week in Dubrovnik and loved staying at Lidija's studio apartment. The location was wonderful and although the stairs were steep there is an ice cream shop at the bottom of the steps that made it all worthwhile. La Dolce Vita had the very best ice cream hat I have ever had!! The apartment itself was perfect. There is a small but fully equipped kitchen, a large bathroom with a washing machine, and a combination sleeping/ living room. The apartment was spotless and, unlike most apartments where we have stayed, Lidija came in midway during the week to clean and change the bed linens and to give us clean towels. We found the apartment in Rick Steves guide to eastern Europe and were very satisfied with the way Lidija responded to our emails. It is so nice to have the owner near by in case you have any questions about day trips, restaurants, or whatever. Her sons even helped us with our luggage!!! Both of us loved Croatia and especially Dubrovnik and staying at Lidija's made our stay even better.
