The Wonderful apartment in old Split lives up to it's name - it was a wonderful place to stay! Four of us stayed for 3 nights in August and were very comfortable in the space with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living room and kitchen. It was immaculate and had everything we needed including wi-fi, a well equipped kitchen, and washing machine. The apartment is on the fourth floor which meant a lot of stair climbing but allowed us to eat pastry every morning without guilt! The views from the apartment were amazing - one overlooking the ocean, one of the city and one up the mountain behind. The screenless windows opened wide to let in the cooling breezes. Also had air conditioning.
We took up Ivica's offer to arrange a transfer from the airport and it was well worth the 50 euros - not only did our driver get us there quickly he gave us a extensive history and information on Split in his excellent English. The road to the apartment was too narrow for vehicles so we were met by the housekeeper who took us up to the apartment. We were within walking distance of everything - bakeries, grocery store, restaurants, old town, harbour. No need for a rental during our short stay in Split and we just walked to pick up a rental when it was time to continue on our journey down the coast.
This was my first experience in booking on Tripadvisor and Ivica took away any apprehension I may have had. He was very prompt in responding to my questions and ensured our arrival to the apartment went smoothly.
I would definitely recommend this apartment - it was clean, comfortable, great views, and really great location.

We found The Wonderful apartment in Old Split to be an absolutely lovely place to stay. It really is as nice as the pictures and is utterly immaculate. The views to the ocean are delightful. There is wi-fi throughout the apartment. Four of us stayed for a week and and a half in July and August. We cooked meals on a few occasions, but the apartment is so centrally located, we were able to eat at a variety of restaurants within minutes of the apartment as well. There are also a bakery and a grocery store within a very short distance for convenience. Diocletian's Palace and all it has to offer is literally a few blocks away.
The apartment itself has two air conditioning units to keep cool in the humid Croatian heat. Staying here is not for the faint of heart, however. There are seven steps up to the building and another 60 stairs once in the building to the actual apartment. This ensured that, even though we ate gelato every chance we got, we did not gain weight this holiday! Bonus!
The beds are comfortable and it is very easy to sleep well at night with all the walking around old town, to the fish market, the green market, up the hill to the scenic restaurant/bar and around the harbour to the different beaches and attractions.
Ivica arranged a transfer for us from the airport to the apartment. It was well worth the €50 as none of us were familiar with the area and there were road works on the way. While booking and throughout our stay, Ivica was always very responsive. When it turned out the washing machine wasn't working, he responded immediately and had a technician out the same day. Unfortunately, through no fault of Ivica's, the necessary part wasn't available until after we left. When a member of our group became unwell, Ivica gave us specific instructions to follow in case of an emergency.
While we missed the convenience of having the washing machine available, we still definitely recommend the Wonderful apartment in old Split for the owner's helpfulness, the apartment's pristine condition and comfort and it's extremely central location.

We stayed in Ivica's beautiful apartment for 6 nights, which comfortably fit five of us.
The apartment was pristine, Ivica was helpful throughout the entire process and was even kind enough to organise airport transfers. The apartment is in a wonderful part of the city, close enough so we could enjoy everything Split had to offer. Newly refurbished the apartment kept the cool air (from powerful air conditioning units) in, but also allowed us to enjoy its stunning views. It's also bigger than it looks on the photos!
My party and I have nothing but good things to say about this apartment, and we would recommend it to anyone.
