If you don't mind walking, it's in a great location in between Lapad Beach and the Old City and handy to the bus depot. Detailed directions to find the property were e-mailed ahead of time and very helpful. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The property has a beautiful sitting area in the courtyard.
There is a long list of very strict rules and dire consequences posted on the wall. These should be communicated on the Booking.com posting so people know what to expect. We found them very off-putting. Also, WiFi was very weak and unreliable.

Dubrovnik is a beautiful and amazing place. So, of course, EVERYONE comes here. Unfortunately for crowdophobic me, it is an anthill of tourists. Brent and I spent some time exploring the Stari Grad, but I had to get away from the crowds. Maybe it's a mistake to be in Dubrovnik - UNESCO World Heritage site, Pearl of the Adriatic and pride of Croatia - on Croatian Independence Day. Maybe tomorrow will be less ant-hill-y. We'll see. I'm still feeling barfy and waxy, so instead of walking up Srđ, we took the cable car up, had a great look around, and then walked down. Then, I ate some yogurt and passed out.
