We booked one apartament and when silva, herself picked up us from the airport took us to another different one, very good one in the center of the ld town, but other one. I think they did with good intencion but imagin arriving with two childs and they change your apartament. In the other hand the apartament was clean, fully furnitured and impssible to be more centrica and cheap. The day we leaved Croatia we had an appointment with silva to pick up us and take to the airport and we still waiting for her...

We found Silva Apartments through Lonely Planet - and Silva herself came and picked us up from the airport. We were charmed by her hospitality and that of her family. The mansion is located in the Lapad district of Dubrovnik and has a stunning view over Lapad Bay. The beaches are close, and so are the restaurants as well as the primary attraction - the Dubrovnik Old City. We can warmly recommend staying at Silva's, and if we return to Dubrovnik we would go there again.

I stayed at Silva's with a group of four girlfriends, and we can highly recommend it as excellent budget accommodation. Silva herself is delightful: she met us at the bus station so we could follow in our car, drove us to the supermarket so we didn't get lost, and even baked us Croatian pastries! She has a range of accommodation on offer, and while I'm sure the rooms on the upper floor are preferable (better light and views) we had the benefit of an outdoor courtyard on the lower level. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though of the backpacker standard rather than a pricier b&b. The beds were nothing special, and while good value for the price, the rooms were on the dingy side. The courtyard was fabulous, though - and given the Croatian climate, we spent most of our time eating and relaxing outside. The kitchen has everything you need to self-cater.
