Apartment: Extremely clean and directly overlooking the Adriatic. You can rely on the pictures from the website. We rented apartment #2 Lavender. Microwave, coffee machine, fridge, stovetop and all good quality ustensiles/pots to prepare a vacation quality meal. We did not use the Air Conditioning due to confortable weather and breeze from patio doors, during this period. TV is also provided. We did not explore, we were at location to enjoy the patio and Adriatic. Table is available inside and on the patio with umbrella provided. Beautiful sun all day and sunset. Good size bathroom We already knew that apartment provided 1 bedroom with 2 single beds plus a couch to be opened in the living room. Not an issue for us. On vacation, we are very relaxed customers. Free parking space provided by the apartment. Location: Residential or an oasis of quietness in the turbulent (very?) Dubrovnik. Walking to old town could be between 15 - 25 minutes, depending on individual. Very agreeable walk with interesting Adriatic views along the way, charming old houses with beautiful cascading flowers. We walked slowly and took some pictures of sceneries...what is the rush? Once you leave the apartment street and turn for the Old Town, there are 3 large hotels (with all amenities and taxi stand) 2 corner store groceries and 1 local bakery with long opening hours. Near Pile Gate (Old Town Entrance), there is a very good bakery with all types of fresh sandwiches available. Restaurants nearby: We went to Pizzeria El Toro twice. Good menu choice, indoor or outdoor seatings. Very good service, wine, beer and food. We eat fresh SeaBass grilled perfectly with fries. We did not try the restaurant facilities of nearby hotels. Magellan Restaurant and Caffee Bar was recommended. But we did not try. With the exception of Old Town or major hotels, Dubrovnik does not offer many sea view local restaurants. Madonna restaurant is also very good in Lapad area. Not walking distance from Kate’s place and no sea view. However, next to a Mega Kozum, where you can pick-up variety of groceries for a longer stay. Lapad area has more hotels and apartments. Otherwise, nothing special and very far from Old Town. Transportation is required. Mrs Kate: Great host. Always available but never intrusive. Very dedicated to making your stay enjoyable. Welcoming with beverage of your choice, Dubrovnik map review and a constant source of local information. We enjoyed a bottle of wine on our terrace the last night together at her invitation and truly enjoyed her company. GRUZ Bay: Port of arrival for cruise ships. Lots of coffee bars, banks, restaurants, Mega Pemo Grocery store. Very lively and more local then tourist. We walked from apartment. 30-45 minutes each way. Not recommended, if you do not wish to explore or enjoy walking, like we do. Surprisingly, nothing special in this area. We were glad that we had elected not to rent an apartment in this area. Very noisy and hi
