Wonderful apartment for a solo traveler or couple!

Wow, what an excellent place to stay near old town Split! As this being my first time traveling solo, Frane made me feel comfortable immediately upon arriving! He was gracious enough to pick me up at the airport and give me a lot of useful information related to my stay! The neighborhood that the apartment is located is very old and amazing! I felt very welcome and safe by everyone I came across while exploring. I recommend Frane’s apartment to anyone traveling solo or a couple traveling to Split!

5 star treatment with personalized check-in

This lodging might be small; but it's mighty! The host Frane was absolutely the best! The streets are very skinny around the residence & parking is hard to obtain. He had a parking spot waiting for us and even helped us get our car into the spot!! He personally ran us through his to use everything in the residence and even has treats waiting for us in the refrigerator. We loved staying here and being able to walk to most highly rated restaurants and the castle in minutes. Didn't need to use our car once we were there. Thank you for a very memorable stay Frane.

Great location!

We loved this place! It was close enough for a daily walk to the city center but far enough to not be within the hustle and bustle. Our host, Frane, met us upon check-in and answered all of our questions. Our stay was for 6 nights. As we went about our normal routines, we have found that Frane has equipped this apartment with most things that we might need or find useful. We had coffee, water, fruit, even some cookies. The kitchen has the regular plates, silverware, glasses, cups, but even a juicer so we can make use of the oranges he left for us. There is laundry detergent, a clothes drying rack, plastic bags, and other items that you don't think you will need, but comes up in the course of the day. Definitely recommend this listing!

A quick visit

A quick city break in Split, one of my favourite places to visit, with a mate who'd never been there. The location of the apartment was superb, just outside of the port and main tourist parts of the city. Great pre arrival communication from the owner and despite it being an evening of celebration in the city he kept true to his word and met us at the apartment, talked us through how the boiler, shower etc all worked, pointed out places on the map that were "must see" parts of the city and gave us some top tips on how to get around.......there was even water, milk and beer in the fridge for us. Both beds were made up for us and were very comfortable. The whole apartment was fantastic!Would I stay there again and would I recommend it to others....YES and absolutely 100%. I just hope that on my next visit to Split, and there will be a next visit, that this apartment is available. Many thanks to the owner for making our stay a good one.

Amazing host!

The hardest part of Split is the parking. The host, Frane, was amazing! He provided us copies of where to park before we arrived and met us at check in. He took the time to explain where everything was and was incredibly helpful. The location was perfect, everything was within walking distance. It is a perfect size for 1-2 people. Thank you Frane!

Aufenthalt Altstadt Split

Die Wohnung war optisch wesentlich kleiner als auf den Fotos dargestellt. Das Erdgeschoss war gänzlich ohne Tageslicht und nur mit künstlichem Licht nutzbar. Es gab keine Kaffeemaschine obwohl sie aufgelistet war. Die Gummidichtung der Kühlschranktür war schwarz von Schimmel. Der Duschabfluss war verstopft, dass Wasser lief schlecht ab. Der Außenbereich, nutzbar als kleiner Sitzbereich, war lediglich ein Durchgang zu einem weiteren Appartement. Die Nachbarwohnung war deutlich größer und preiswerter. Der Preis war mit 90 Euro völlig überzogen, während unser Anwesenheit wurde die Wohnung für 60 € angeboten. Die Lage war super und der Vermieter war sehr nett.

Perfection.

The Cute Apartment, is exactly that! It is as pictured, and described, but more. The neighbourhood is so quaint and dreamy, with a very interesting history we learned while visiting. The apartment is so clean, well stocked and located within walking distance to everything you will want to visit or need. Frane went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. He was informative in providing us with a map and answering all of our questions regarding local happenings that we were most interested in while also sharing his favourite day to day locations within the city. He was very quick to respond when we reached out to him for guidance throughout our stay, and we truly felt taken care of whlie we called Split home. Frane felt like an old friend, which helped making our stay in a new place all the more memorable. I plan to return one day in the near future, and I hope this little gem of a place will be available when I do. Thank you, Sabrina.

Great place!

Stayed 3 nights in Split and this place was ideal for me and another family member. It’s far enough from the hustle and bustle of city center but walking distance to it, the Riva, and Bacvice beach. It’s on a pedestrian only zone. The host, Frane, was quick to respond to our inquiries. He met us at check in and showed us the place, gave us a map and showed where points of interests are from the apartment. The apartment was well stocked with kitchen, laundry, and bathroom amenities for our stay for 2 people. He even had a welcome gift for us — fruits, Croatian biscuits, bottled waters (1 still, 1 sparkling), and a couple of Croatian beer! I highly recommend this place! Great for 2 people!

About the host

Hosted by Frane

Host profile image
Hi! I’m from Split and love living in this beautiful city. I’m a friendly and easygoing person who enjoys staying active — you’ll often find me playing tennis, cycling, or at the gym. I also have a soft spot for winter and, oddly enough, for organizing things in Excel! I’m always happy to help guests discover the best of Split and make their stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it’s one of the oldest and most authentic parts of Split. The narrow stone streets, traditional houses, and peaceful pedestrian atmosphere give it a special charm. Everything is within walking distance — the Diocletian’s Palace, the Riva promenade, local cafés, and markets. It’s the perfect mix of history, local life, and convenience.

What makes this property unique

This charming apartment is located in a building over 100 years old, inherited from my grandfather, also named Frane, giving it a personal and historic touch. Situated in a calm pedestrian zone and just a short walk from the old town, it offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Across two levels, the apartment includes all essentials for a relaxing stay.
