Candy Ballerina I-IV Zagreb Center Lux"Great location, but that comes with it being a noisy neighbourhood, you can’t sleep with the windows open due to the loud bar noise nearby. Also, basic things like a working TV and a shower head should be standard. Also, shower gel etc not provided as well as bottled water."

Boutique Downtown Studio with Balcony 1"We had a pleasant stay at the apartment overall. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and well located and we enjoyed our holiday. The only issue we experienced was on our arrival as we arrived on a Saturday evening and there wasn’t even a bottle of drinking water provided in the apartment. As the local shops were already closed on a Saturday evening and remained closed on Sunday. It was quite inconvenient for us, especially after travelling."
