I have traveled to 52 countries and this is where I had one of the best experiences. Everything is perfect from A to Z for the price. The owners are so nice, they are 100% understanding. Easy to communicate in English, available. The rooms and bathroom are very clean. Easy to access the city center in 5 minutes. You can take the bus in front of the hotel. I was able to benefit from a room with 3 beds during my stay and I was the only one in the room. Thanks to Vanja and her mom.

    Great location near the river, a short walk to the castle and not far to walk to the centre. Nice balcony with view of the river. Apartment was bright, quite spacious and generally comfortable. We got helpful information from the host. Parking was fairly easy and felt safe. We could see the car from the balcony. Best of all, the cost is a terrific bargain.
