Studio apartment Arija

Amazing and very cleverly planned little apartment near the heart of Zagreb. Very stylish and elegant. It has everything you need for a short stay: cozy sofa to chill and fancy bar chairs to have some drinks in the evening, nicely equipped small kitchen, comfortable bedroom and very clean and modern bathroom. Also there is a washing machine which is super useful if you are in need to refresh your clothes). All towels and other stuff provided. Jasmina is very nice and helpful host, she was very kind and easygoing (sadly we didn't meet her in person, but had a phone chat). Location of the apartment is great, just a short walk away from famous sights. There is plenty of cafes and restaurants literary around the house if you want to have a meal or some drinks without going to the city. Amazing stay!

(not a dislike, just a hint for fellow travelers!) Use blinders in the bedroom! There is a house entrance in front of the windows, and the lights there switch on automatically every time somebody goes out to smoke in the night.

The hostess was very pleasant and kind. She gave us a tour of the apartment. The apartment was extremely clean and everything is brand-new. It's one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in. There is a complete set of cutlery you can cook anything you want if you stay for long. There are a lot of options for commuting if you don't want to walk, but the city center is only 15-20 mins to walk.

If you have a car, there is no designated parking space for your car. You have to park around the house in the public parking space and pay a daily/weekly/etc permit. We had a rental car, so this was a bit stressful because if something would happen to the car, then we would have to pay for it. Some advice: Keep in mind that the machines on site that give out the parking permits are busted, so to avoid any stress download the "ZgPark" app before you arrive at the house, load the app with some money (currently you can only pay with a card - no paypal) and select a prepaid parking permit for zone II. You can select a daily permit (7.96€/60kn), a weekly permit (11.95€/90kn), etc. For weekdays, you have to pay from 07:00 to 20:00, Saturdays from 07:00 to 15:00, and Sundays are free. If you pay for a daily permit on Saturday at 10:00, then it is going to be valid until Monday at 10:00 (since Sunday is free). You can also pay by the hour (0.66€/h | 5kn/h), but you can only pay for up to 3 hours per day, otherwise, you have to buy a daily permit.
