We booked a double room en-suite through hotels.com, but the pictures accompanying the booking turned out to be pictures of an apartment en-suite. It meant our room was much too small for us and not what we had expected at all. Hotels.com contacted the owner who said he would help us find another room, but when we spoke to him, he told us there was nothing he could do as it was fully booked out and the only alternative would be to stay with him in his house! It was a very uncomfortable experience and, although I think we were just unlucky, I would not recommend this accommodation. The owner did kindly offer to change our sheets and to let us leave luggage in the property on our departure day. The property itself was a double bed tightly squeezed between a painted rock wall and a regular wall. The paint on the rock wall would rub off on our belongings that touched it. The furnishing were cheap and old, but it was clean at least. The bathroom was very small with a flimsy shower curtain and it was very difficult to keep water off the floor. There were no space in the bathroom for toiletries and no lid on the toilet. The access to the room is tricky as it it is accessed by a very narrow and steep stair case. The location of the property was very good, situated between two beaches and right next to a nice cafe and restaurant outside the old town. It meant the surrounding area was peaceful and relaxing with easy access to the busy parts of the old town.

The location of the flat is brilliant, everywhere in the old town is walkable. The flat is also clean and comfortable with working AC, which was a lifesaver. Parking was not on site, you would have to walk a little bit. Kitchen was moderately well equipped but did not have Coffee maker as stated. Overall because of the location everything else was not a big issue.

The guy that welcomed us wasn’t ok

The hosts, Dino and his mother, were wonderful.

Although the people running this apartment are incredibly nice; I have to give everyone a heads up of our experience. The pictures looked great and we booked because there were three of us and we thought it would be easy to stay in one apartment with 2 rooms... well when we arrived, there was not a front desk (as stated), I called the man I was speaking regarding our arrival and he told me to knock on his mom's apartment and she will let us into our place. The woman was very nice but spoke no english and was very fragile. She showed us into the apartment and it was nothing like pictured. There were not two rooms, there were 2 beds in one room. Everything was pretty dirty; the towels were crunchy and had stains. There was a back door that led to a washer machine and other apartments that did not lock, so nothing was secure during our stay. We ended up locking most of belongings in the car. Although the location of this place is amazing and is right in the heart of the city, there is not parking nearby. The closest parking is pretty far and it costs $10 eur per hour. Overall, we didn't spend much time in the room so it was fine, but I definitely felt like there is room for improvement.

Loved the location! Very close to beautiful views and old town. Staff was also very accommodating and quick to respond to needs. Water in shower had good pressure and was hot but they need to unclog the shower drain. It pooled up after just a few minutes. They also list a soaker tub which we did not have. Maybe one of the other apartments has one? Overall cleanliness was not up to our standards. Slept in a sleep sack because sheets seemed unwashed. Towels were rough and mismatched. Also didn't seem very clean. No bathroom products provided like shampoo or soap. The dish sponge had been there a while. We were told to open windows if we got hot so dealt with bugs and mosquitos biting us. This situation would have been fine had it only been my husband and I back in our young days of broke backpacking but with our 2 kids, it just wasn't worth it.

This property is a perfect location to walk to Old Town Dubrovnik in 5 minutes. The view is superlative, and Dino and his Daughter Mia were wonderful hosts and responded to all our needs, even when we had to leave at 4:30 AM to catch a plane. The unit was clean and neat. I would highly recommend staying at Apartments Mia if you want easy access to Old Town.

Great location very central.
