Apartment Casa Alek

The apartment is right in the middle of the old town, the church is just a 4 minute walk. The air conditioning is one of the best I've had, it was so nice to arrive home to a cool apartment. Tatjana, out host was so kind, and helpful, she even helped my mother's baggage up the stairs, and gave us tips on how to spend our days in and around the city. She also helped us get cheaper parking. We had almost everything we needed (exept for a microwave oven) to prepare some snacks and easy meals in the morning, or evening. They even prepared coffee capsules for us, which is a great plus if you can't start your day without it. The view is really charming, especially if you like old town rooftops, like we did. You could almost imagine yourself jumping around like in spy movies. From one of the rooms you could also see some fregments of the famous gate of the city. Very nice furniture too.

I have to say in advance, that nothing was really negative, it's just a consequence of the location of the place, and not the fault of the owner, but worth mentioning so you come prepared with the informations. The apartment is in the heart of the old town, so you can't even come in with a car. You have to park further, and walk, 10-15 minutes, which can be a lot if you have to carry your baggage. The parking is expensive, but the host might be able to help you with that, as she did in our case, which was much appreciated. The apartment is on the top (4th) floor of a historic old building, right next to the famous gate of the city, but this means narrow, steep stairs you have to climb every time you want to go home. It's not terrible, but might be hard for an older person. There was no microwave. All in all, it's a really great place, we loved to stay here!

Charming flat, beautifully decorated! The location is perfect in the heart of Roving.

Need a wardrobe in one of the rooms.

such a great location and super friendly owner! she was so kind and helpful for recommendations and anything I needed :)

there are very steep stairs, you just need to take your time and be careful

the location was fantastic, and the apartment was quite comfortable!

I read the description about steep stairs but I was thinking “steep” by American standards, not European standards. These steps are not like anything I’ve ever seen before, but my 79- year old mother was able to go up and down them multiple times. I was also confused about the parking options but ultimately found places to park

The host is warm, friendly and responsive. She was so thoughtful and heat up the apartment prior our arrival and provided tidbits for kids and wine for adults. The location is great to explore Rovinj with eateries nearby. The carpark is just within 5 mins walk.

We loved the owner, the pace, the decor and most of all the location, could not be more perfect. We had everything we needed, it was very clean and the owner was super helpful sending us suggestions for restaurants and things to do.

One thing to mention is that the stairs are very very steep, more like a leader :))) The owner is very nice and she put a photo of stairs in the photo gallery so not trying to hide it, but just something to point out. Another thing to note is that there is no free parking nearby and payed parking is quite expensive. We parked far away on the free parking and then did not use the car during our stay because the location is very central to Rovinj, but if you want to take day trips around Istria during the day this is something to consider...
