View of the sea was great, and location was perfect: short walk to the beach, bakery, restaurant or just getting some ice cream. Parking conveniently located on the lower level.

Lägenheten var toppen och fint skick men vi fick ingen städning på hela veckan då vi hade bokat själva och inte genom resebyrå. Minus också för att AC:n i sovrummet inte fungerade och det var plus 30 grader hela veckan. AC i allrummet fungerade bra. "

"We were on a family vacation in Croatia and stay in this apartment in Makarska. It has two bed-rroms and the main room with a sofa. The apartment is well-equipped and clean. It worked very well for us except that it is on top of a steep hill, so going up was quite a challenge. The main Makarska beach is about 25-30 min away and overcrowded. We ended up driving to other smaller, beaches that were much nicer, and it worked very well for us because exit to the main road was very easy. Another thing...
