Why stay here

Inside the apartment

Many apartments in Zagreb are near the centre. This one IS the centre.

The apartment is situated on the mezzanine floor of a historic building on the edge of Dolac, the covered market that has fed the city since 1930. 52 m2: a bedroom with a queen size double bed, a living room with two comfortable sofa beds, a full kitchen, and windows that look out over the market stalls and the rooftops behind them. You get the whole flat — no shared hallway, no host in the next room.

It suits the kind of trip where you want to walk everywhere: two couples, a family of four, three friends or just one or two guests who want room to spread out

Below the living room windows the market packs up by two in the afternoon, everything gets cleaned and the square goes quiet. You get both; the city bustiling with life during the day, and silence during the night when you need a good sleep.

  • 01

    Dolac market is right in front of the building. Delicious fruit, veggies, cheese, fish and flowers, every day from 7 am-2 pm, except on holidays.

  • 02

    Ban Jelačić square is in front of the buidling Almost all tram lines in the city pass through it, so if you do decide to go further out, you start from the middle of the tram network.

  • 03

    The old town is uphill from the door. The cathedral, St Mark's church, the funicular, Lotrščak tower and the museums of the upper town are all within a ten minutes walk.

  • 04

    The Tkalčićeva street starts below the living room windows. The street of bars and pubs with open terraces is close enough to walk home from at 2 am, and far enough that you don't hear it from the bedroom.

“Maya was responsive and had her daughter greet us at the apartment and show us in. The location is absolutely perfect for touring around Zagreb. Can't find a better location. Right outside the morning farmers market. Our walking tour even started from 60 seconds away…”

“We had a lovely stay at Maya’s apartment. It is exactly as described. The location is perfect if you want to be in old town, near the square and market and restaurants. The elevator was a plus for us, as we cannot do the stairs…”

“Our stay here was a great 2 day final stop at the end of our Croatian tour. Our host was fantastic, and this apartment is right on the main square of upper Zagreb. The daily fresh food market is right outside the door, and so…”

      Check-in from 2:00 pm, check-out by 10:00am. If possible, we will meet you at the building, walk you up and hand over the keys in person. If you arrive late in the evening or prefer to be flexible about the arrival time, the self check in is easy, there is a keybox by the building entrance and you get detailed photo instructions.

      Early check in: if the apartment is available the night before you arrive and we don't have a check out that day, early check in is possible whenever you arrive.

      The building, stairs and lift

      The apartment is on the mezzanine floor of a historic building. It is actually the hight of the first floor, due to high ceeilings. You can take 3 short flocks of stairs or use the elevator starting from ground floor, heavy luggage is not a problem.
