Luxury rooms Green and Gold Split

The location of this apartment is everything! It is a 10 minute walk into the main city centre, so close enough to walk there and far away to escape the hoards of tourists that swarm the city. It is also a 10 minute walk to a fantastic local swimming area, where it was not very crowded, and you could be with local families instead of large tourist crowds. The apartment is on the top of a small hill, but it is an easy climb with stairs, feels safe, and has its own parking which is amazing. Ana and her mother were very helpful, and kind, in directing us, and inviting us into the space. The room is clean, everything is new and renovated, and the bathroom is large and well furnished. There are options for tea and coffee in the common area, and easy checkin and checkout processes. The airconditioner is great, and much needed in the heat.

The room is described as luxury but we didn't really think that. It is nice, clean, and hospitable, but the luxury tag threw us off. The room is on the ground floor. The window overlooks a parked car, and a common walking area so if you have your curtains drawn. If windows are open, you hear every conversation on the drive outside. Also, luxury for us, is a state of mind - it has a sense of oppulence. There are no extras with this reservation - pillows, blankets, furnishings, amenities, food, drink etc. So if you tailor your expectations, and go into this thinking that it is a perfectly fine room and a good location, you will be fine. Having just come from an actual luxury stay in Zagreb, and then experiencing another one in Dubrovnik after this, we were sure that the 'luxury' tag is questionable. A little extra might help. We had a wonderful stay in Split, and were largely in the room only to sleep, so we didn't mind it that much. But yes, at this price point, we were expecting better, and have experienced better apartments and accommodations. Also, the host asked for feedback, and when we politely mentioned about the outside noise, noise from the next door room, and some small things, the response was very defensive, with long explanations. But I understand that the hosts are proud of their property, and so perhaps it just shows the love and pride they have in the place.
