Apartament Ilica - zabytkowy urok z nowoczesnymi udogodnieniami w samym sercu miasta

Mum and I came to Zagreb to explore the Christmas markets, the best in Europe for the third year in a row, and we wanted somewhere convenient and comfortable to stay. The flower apartments went above and beyond our expectations.

From the time of booking to the time of departure, Alan, the host, was exceptionally helpful. He arranged a private pick-up from and to the airport (very reasonably priced) and was waiting for us at the apartment on arrival (he lives next door, which was a comfort to know should there have been any issues; there weren't!) He gave us a tour of the gorgeous apartment, explaining everything from the centralised lighting system to how the coffee machine works. I had seen in previous reviews that the apartment was missing a coffee machine, cooking utensils and fitted sheets, but Alan has clearly taken on board past feedback and they are all in place now. It is no exaggeration to say that Alan has truly thought of everything when it comes to the comfort and satisfaction of his guests. Not only were we greeted by a personalised welcome message on the lightbox on the wall, but there were also complimentary chocolates, slippers, a water cooler, fully stocked teas and coffees, milk and juice for our first morning as well as a selection of crackers and biscuits, a very reasonably priced mini bar (2 euros per item), chargers for every type of device, all the guides to Zagreb and even some Christmas decorations to truly make it feel like a home away from home.

The convenience of this apartment extends to its location; bang smack in the centre of everything! We walked everywhere (except once taking the funicular up the hill to the 'uptown') and never had to walk far to find something Christmassy going on. It's easy to see why Zagreb has won the best Christmas Market award 3 years in a row. The celebrations extend throughout the city, and I can't even begin to imagine how many fairy lights are used at this time of year. The only minor (and it was minor!) downside to the apartment being so central, was that the musical offerings which went on until around 1am on Saturday and Sunday mornings were definitely audible in the bedrooms. This didn't disturb us at all, but if you're sensitive to noise and are going around the same time, earplugs could be helpful.

Overall this was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be recommending Alan's apartment to everyone!

We spent 5 days at this lovely apartment in the heart of Zagreb and couldn't be more pleased. Having been a 5-star host in the past, I have a high standard not only for the accommodations but for the overall experience. Alan knocked it out of the park.

As we have family in Zagreb, we have stayed at hotels and other apartments, but will be returning here. The apartment was spotless and Alan has thought of every amenity, including the eye glass wipes under the remote controls! The location is excellent--steps from everything. Yet the view out the windows is like overlooking a quiet park.

On arrival, we were met at the train station and escorted to the apartment and Alan arranged for reasonable transit to the airport on departure. All communications were timely and professional, but also felt as though a friend were welcoming you to their home.

Highly recommend Alan and Flower Square apartments---we will be back!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in Alan's Appt. Die Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und sehr sauber und gepflegt. Alan ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber. Er hat auf Anfragen innerhalb von Minuten geantwortet und alles immer direkt erledigt. Er ist sehr aufmerksam und hat uns mit Goodies verwöhnt. Die Lage des Appt. ist perfekt, mitten in der Stadt und trotzdem ruhig.Wenn wir wieder nach Zagreb kommen, wissen wir, wo wir wohnen möchten,

Alan`s apartment is perfect. Spotlessly clean. Everything you need and more is provided. His attention to detail is amazing. He arranged for our pick up at the airport and was at the apartment to meet us when we arrived. The apartment is in the heart of Old Town, so you just walk out the door to explore. Many wonderful shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. My husband was ill and needed medical attention, so Alan made the appointment and arranged for a for a freind to meet us and go to the clinic. His friend waited for us and picked up the prescription. By the way, a 30 minute doctor`s office visit in Zagreb was $22 which speaks volumes about American health care. If you're visiting Zagreb, make sure you check to see if Alan`s apartment is available.

This was probably the best VRBO property I or my husband have ever stayed in. Everything was taken care of-there wasn’t one thing I could think of that we were missing and the apartment itself is beautiful. The location is amazing-we walked to everything. Alan was so nice and waited up to greet us even though our flight was in the evening and we got a little lost finding the place at first. He answered all of our questions and was always available if we needed him. I am so grateful that this apartment was our first stop-it really set a great tone for the rest of our time in Croatia.
