My Favorite Airbnb in Split, Croatia: An Apartment Near Old Town With Two Balconies
02.08.2023 - 20:45 / cntraveler.com
The first time I went to Croatia was in 2017. I was on a week-long winter break trip before I would return to London to start my final semester of university. My friend and I stayed in the capital, Zagreb. We hiked through snow-capped trees, went to markets in the city center, and even took a day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s largest national park and a UNESCO site. After that trip, I knew I had to visit the country again.
This time around I wanted to visit in the summer. I knew the energy would be different, but if it was anything like my trip in 2017, then I was going to have a good time. Between Split and Dubrovnik, two of the most popular tourist destinations, my first choice was Split. Although both are crowded in the summer, I assumed Split would be slightly more manageable given its Old Town is small and easy to walk, especially as I only had 48 hours in the city—just enough time to get a little taste.

When deciding where to stay, proximity to Old Town was a top priority. I didn’t want to be too far from the city and have to pay for taxis or figure out the bus system. That’s when I came across Mezzanin&Pol. Located at the foot of Marjan Hill, the apartment complex was on the second floor. After using the provided code to open the front door and carrying my suitcase up the flight of stairs, I was greeted by my host, Natasa, in a beautifully decorated one-bedroom apartment.
From the start, I had a good feeling about this place. Natasa was completely responsive to me days before the trip. From clarifying information to letting me know when she would be at the apartment to greet me and sending directions to reach the building, she was always available when I needed her. But it was the space that really captivated me: I had so much room to move around, from the inviting entryway to the bedroom with a wardrobe, side table, lounge chair, and even a luggage rack (I don’t put my suitcase on the bed because…germs), to the two separate balconies to the dining room where Natasa provided domestic peaches for me to try.
The primary bedroom features a balcony overlooking the street.
The room felt classy and a touch nautical. Black and white photos of Croatia lined the walls of the bedroom and in the kitchen, there were images of cameras and a clapperboard that film directors use to mark the end of a scene. The tones of the rooms were soothing, mostly a light gray and blue with a touch of rust. In the living room, there was a table filled with maps of Split, a Lonely Planet guidebook, and a reference for luggage storage, should guests need it. She even provided beach towels, a bath

Without warning, Chef Patrick flicked his wrist and chocolate sauce flew across the table. As I and the other restaurant patrons jumped to cover the tops of our wine glasses, the chef smiled and began to throw together (literally) the night’s dessert on a white canvas, like an Italian Jackson Pollock. He sprinkled coffee cake and sunflower seed crumbs, then gently added lemon curd and cheesecake. For the finale, he slammed fist-sized tiramisu balls down on the table, sending chocolate debris flying across the canvas.

7 Beach Towns in Croatia To Visit This Summer
You don’t need to jet off to Croatian islands like Hvar and Brač to see the country’s best beaches. Coastal towns run the length of Croatia, and while they may not look like the coastal destinations in Mexico or surf havens in California that you typically equate with a beach town, they bring European charm and elegance to the concept of a town that’s centered on a stretch of coast, and whose identity is in some ways shaped by that fact. For scenic beaches accompanied by stunning architecture and non-sunbathing activities ranging from hiking to bar-hopping, these are the Croatia beaches and beach towns to visit on your next trip to Croatia.
