      Razočarenje,čovjek je barem mogao usisat i obrisat prašinu ako ništa drugo.
      Kupaonica je jako loša,zastarjela,pod hitno treba ulaganje da bi idući gosti bili zadovoljniji.

      We are pleased with our accommodation.
      The location of accommodation was great as all main amenities were so close: a beach, shops, supermarket, yacht ACI, bus station. The owner was so kind and helpful, he was ready to solve any problem we had, and also he provided our transfer to Zadar airport by his own car as our flight was early in the morning. The room was comfortable and clean, it had nice WiFi. The balcony had a nice view.

      Odličan smještaj, vlasnik ljubazan
      Smještaj ima sve potrebno - krevet, veliki ormar, kupaonicu, balkon na kojem možete pojesti i popiti kavu. Naš si je "susjed" kuhao svaki dan u zajedničkoj čajnoj kuhinji, tako da postoji i ta mogućnost ukoliko imate želju. Također, sobe dijele i veliki frižider. Lokacija je izvrsna (odmah iza Hotela Olympia, pet minuta do plaže). Vlasnik je bio iznimno ljubazan i u susretljiv. Sve preporuke! :)

      Ugodan boravak
      Borova šuma oko kuće pruža ugodnu hladovinu, kuća uređena kao obiteljsko boravište, uvijek čista i sređena. Vlasnik ljubazan i predusretljiv, spreman izaći u susret svakom zahtjevu. Već sam preporučio smještaj prijateljima i namjeravamo opet doći. Bliziu plaže i hotela, u blizini ima mala trgovina, a 10 minuta od smještaja je nekoliko velikih trgovina. Centar grada je na 5 minuta hoda. Sve u svemu, ugodan odmor.
