“Putujem često i boravio sam u mnogo apartmana, ali ovo iskustvo se zaista izdvaja. Smještaj je vrhunski – sobe, bazen i parking su na razini 10/10 i pružaju sve što gost može poželjeti. No, ono što ovo mjesto čini posebnim su domaćini – izuzetno srdačni, ljubazni i topli ljudi koji od prvog trenutka stvaraju osjećaj kao da ste došli kod prijatelja, a ne u iznajmljeni apartman. Doručak koji pripremaju svako jutro je izvrstan, svjež i raznolik – pravi užitak za početak dana. Iako volimo otkrivati nova mjesta, ovo je lokacija na koju se definitivno želimo vratiti već sljedeće godine. Pozdrav iz Zagreba. Marko&Klara”
