  : Location
  : First of all, this is no guesthouse. These are just two bad rooms in the very poor apartment of the hostess. And you will have to share this apartment with them, including her elderly mother, whose door is almost opposite. So you will not want to spend time here. Just sleep. But you will not succeed. The fact is that on the ground floor of the building, almost directly under the room there is an industrial laundry room. And an open window from it opens onto a staircase that leads directly to your window. Powerful centrifuges there begin to howl and vibrate from 5.00 AM and end late in the evening. Well, from 6.00 AM there still include music at full volume. Apparently, to work was not boring. I could describe many more terrible shortcomings of this accommodation, but I believe that these facts are enough to recognize this option as completely unsuitable for recreation and for housing in general. Do not even think to consider this guesthouse. I'm afraid even a hostel will be much more comfortable.

  : There was a nice patio outside, and the place was very clean, and nice enough.
  : There was no air conditioning and it was VERY hot. We kept the windows open but got bitten all over by mosquitos. Our host was very stern and strict with us, always yelling at the guests for this and that. She was also very sweet at times and gave us coffee and cold water and homemade orange liquor. But overall it was not the most relaxing place to stay.

  : Ruza and her mother are both very friendly. Ruza likes to share her knowledge about the area. Her mother doesnt speak English but is sweet. We got access to a fridge, so we could keep some food and drinks cool. Its easy to take the bus line 4 to the old town for 12-15 kuna. The bus stop is down the road. If you dont mind giving up privacy and are on a very low budget then this is the choice for you.
  : Unfortunately we booked this accommodation too quickly and realised that it wasnt under conditions we could cope with and chose to find something else after one night. If youre on a very low budget then its a good choice, especially if you want a true local experience. However, it is very hot to sleep in July without air conditioning and not fun with mosquitoes biting you. The whole family came by so it got rather lively in the night and the neighbours dog barks a lot. Our room was right on the other side of the terrace so we could very easily hear people talk there. During the night, the host would keep putting stuff in the freezer and turn the lights on and off. The parking is free, but its just on the road by the accommodation and vulnerable to the lint from the laundry place across from it. The bathroom has an open wooden window to an alleyway where people could walk by, and theres no shower curtain so its not too private. The shower head is quite low and cant be moved up. The bathroom is shared with the host and another guest. Its a misleading title of the accommodation, and should be Guestroom Ruza.
