Porta Aurea

located right in the old town; large modern apartment with all the equipment you need. includes a washing machine. unlike all the other apartments I stayed in, it had coffee & decent cooking equipment. tv & lounge area is comfortable, 2 nice bedrooms & good sized shower. The hum of the bars didn’t bother us as it wasn’t too loud. twin bedroom had shutters so was blacked out. the main room was light in the morning. the stairs weren’t a problem as it’s just 3 flights. (we stayed over 100 steps high in Dubrovnik) Apple maps takes you to a street but there’s nothing with the apartment name. all the other apartments we stayed in, sent pictures so we knew which door to find. if you go, look for the door at the rear left of the bar. you’ll need to navigate through the tables to the back of a little square. then go up 3 flights & the apartment name is on the door.

difficult to find the doorway & no instructions provided. we arranged to meet at 11.40 as we got the early ferry - but we spent 50 mins waiting on the stairs in the heat. i have no phone in Europe so couldn’t call. eventually a kind stranger called the owner for me & he came within 10 mins. frustrating as we only had 1 day in split so wasted too much time checking in.

Great location

Noisy at night

Noise at night, but to be expected given the central location
