We (a friend and my wife and I) stayed here 3 nights in the apartment. Location is near town but does require some climbing of steps. The rooms are very spacious - two large double bedrooms, a common area / kitchen combo (including a gas stove, oven, fridge, and freezer), and a large bathroom. The place also has a small TV with satellite, wi-fi, and air conditioning.

Outside there is a terrace with a table and chairs for eating or drinking. Upstairs are the double rooms (no kitchens in individual rooms) that share a common kitchen. There is also another two balcony / sitting areas with a great view of the sea.

The place is clean and was cleaned daily when we went out and about. We tended to cook most of our meals because of the ridiculous prices at restaurants in Hvar town and were able to find fresh vegetables out in the markets.

One problem we had was that our place was lacking basic cooking amenities like salt, pepper and oil (there is, however, just about any kitchen tool you could ever use - nice addition). When we asked Jagoda, the owner, if there was any oil somewhere, she said no but came upstairs and brought us a small bottle of olive oil - her homemade oil olive - that we were free to use (we used it all). She also brought us two zucchinis from her garden, which we also made use of.

She's a fun owner who really makes you feel like you're living in a guesthouse and not in a hotel. After months of traveling, this place is probably one of our most memorable for that reason alone.

We read a few negative reviews and can probably address them. Yes, the shower stand is low and does require you to crouch down a bit. The bedbug post had us worried, but we didn't see any (we always check) and were also told there's an insect (forget the name) that is native to the area that someone might confuse for a bedbug. Either way, we didn't experience it.

Jagoda and Ante answered us very quickly by email when we tried to book in advance.... Jagoda was waiting for us at the port and brought us home very nicely. We were really in low seasan, and she gave us her best appartment for juste 220 hrk / 30 euros per night for 2 people). jagoda does her best to speak some words of english and let us quiet during the stay. The bed room was really big, the kitchen fully furnished but the bathroom a bit old and tiny (althought it works perfectly). We were feeling so good that we loved cooking home and having lunch on the nice balcony with the great view.

Prior to arriving here, my husband and I thought we had bagged a great deal. A double ensuite room, with a balcony and sea view, 10 minutes away from Hvar Town centre, for 270 kuna per night. Plus, Jagoda picked us up from the bus station (very close to the ferry port) on our arrival, gave us a helpful introductory talk and even gave my husband a cold beer to drink, which was very nice of her.

But, when we saw the bathroom, we were very dismayed. To be fair, when I pay so little, my expectations are not much higher than a clean room with a working freestanding modern shower. However, it seemed that this much too much to ask, as the bathroom was filthy and the shower not fixed, above a three quarters tub. We had to shower crouched down, holding the shower head. Also, I have thick curly hair, so had to wash my body in the aforementioned uncomfortable position, then my hair over the tub, which just added to our prep time in the morning, when all I want to do on holiday, is shower and be out of the door. So this is the first bug bear.

Secondly, my husband bed must have had bed bugs in it as every morning, he slept with the covers tucked in around him (the bed was two singles pushed together, which is no big deal) and found more bites every morning.

So, overall, although the sea view was very nice, we valued a modern bathroom and clean room above this.

In the end, when we decided to increase our stay in Hvar by 2 nights, we found an amazing 1 bedroom apartment at Villa Sandra Hvar (see seperate review) just down the road for 250 Kuna per night and wished we'd stayed there the whole time.

Loved Hvar though, the sunsets at Hula Hula were unforgettable.

We stayed here for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The recent bad review given by one reviewer is unjust. Yes, the furniture in the apartment may be a little outdated, but what do you expect from paying 18 Euros per person per night? The location couldn't be any better. It's only a 5 minute walk to the beach (which was crystal clear!) and 10 minutes to centre of town. The owner is a lovely lady who made us feel right at home.
