"Owners very friendly and helpful"

We originally booked for the Apartment Prince but there was a problem with the water boiler which meant we couldn't stay there the first night. However Ivana and Snjezana were very helpful and arranged for an alternative apartment in a modern building in the same area at no extra cost. We had the option to move to the Apartment Prince for our second night but opted to stay put. So unfortunately we cannot comment on the Apartment Prince but we wanted to let everyone know we really appreciated the hospitality and friendliness of Ivana (who picked us up from the airport and also drove us to Lake Jarun) and her mother Snjezana.

Neighbourhood felt safe (very residential with a mix of low and high rises) as we had no problems. There are some food options in the area but we ended up eating in the city centre (too lazy to cook). Getting there was fairly simple using the trams. But you have to buy tickets at Tisak stands, not on the tram. So first time we ended up walking to the bus station (about 15 minutes) to find one. After that, no issues getting around the city as the tram system is fairly simple to figure out. All in all, we enjoyed our time in Zagreb and it's worth a couple of days to stay.
