Our stay at Karmen Apartments in mid-April was fantastic. The location was terrific and as others have mentioned, Marc is a wonderful host. We appreciated that there was tea, coffee and fresh fruit in the apartment when we arrived. Our apartment had a balcony with a view and was decorated with beautiful artwork. I cannot think of a more perfect... More

The Karmen Apartments could not have been lovelier. The manager, Marc, is personable and very helpful. The apartments are clean and located in the inner city, right in the heart of things. Everything we read about the Karmen Apartments was, if anything, an understatement. The view from our apartment # 1 was the best we have ever had. The apartments... More

I stayed in an apartment ideally situated in the Grad, the old city, with a view of the harbor. Couldn't have been more pleasant -- spotless, books to read, and the city is a delight in the off-season. Marc is also an authority on everything local, having lived in Dubrovnik for decades.

When our ferry from Italy got cancelled, Marc was incredibly accommodating and flexible. He made it work so that we could extend our stay -- as long as we were OK moving in between rooms. So we stayed in 3 of the 4 apartments during our trip: Apartment 4: Small room on the ground floor with a double bed, tiny... More

We stayed 2 nights in Apt 3 and 2 nights in Apt 4; both apts were interestingly decorated and considering the smallness of Apt 4 it was extremely functional. We did have a noisy stay as the building behind was scaffolded and in the process of being renovated. We could not use the small balcony in Apt 3 due to... More
