Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Pros
- Located in the historic center of Split
- All tourists
attractions and seafront within walking distance - Nicely-finished
apartments with well-equipped kitchens - Living rooms with TVs and DVD
players - Travel agency on
hand for tours and transfers - Free, fast Wi-Fi
Cons
- Some apartments
are upstairs with no elevator - Town center
nightlife can be noisy
Bottom Line
The Apartments
Gajeta are nine simple, nicely finished apartments dotted around residential
buildings in the center of Split. All apartments include well-equipped
kitchens, lounges, and dining areas, without much in the way of fuss and frills
— perfectly functional and adequate for a couple self-catering days while you explore the area. A far
cheaper option than the hotels in town, these apartments offer a great deal for
families and groups on a budget — couples and solo travelers, however, should
check out the Golly&Bossy Design Hostel nearby.

Oyster Hotel Review
Scene
Self-catering
apartments serviced by independent travel agency
Down a
particularly narrow street (even for Split), guests check in and collect their
keys from the Gajeta Travel Agency — a simple, two-desk, box room usually
manned by the owner of the apartments, Mr Jerko. All nine of his apartments are
within couple minutes’ walk, and visitors are escorted to their respective
accommodation. The self-catering apartments are all set within residential
blocks, so guests — largely families and groups staying more than a couple
nights — can live among the locals.
Location
Dotted in
residential blocks around Split’s town center
View on a Larger Map
All of the apartments are located within the pedestrianized center of Split, within walking
distance of all its attractions. The most impressive of these is Diocletian’s Palace — a
UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s most impressive Roman
monuments — which is just minutes away on foot and packed full of cafes, bars, and
restaurants. The town’s seafront and marina are also easily walkable; tourists can jump on boats and ferries bound to Croatia’s picturesque and trendy
islands. Split Airport is about 16 miles to the west of the town, or
about a 40-minute drive — be aware much of Split is carless and parking is
very limited.
Rooms
Simple but cozy self-catering apartments with free Wi-Fi and DVD players
Most of the nine
apartments have been modernized with contemporary decor and furnishings to suit discerning travelers’ tastes and feel like a home away from home. One of the flats still contains the
owner’s grandparent’s antique furniture and has been renovated in a more
traditional fashion with a rustic edge and features lovely, old, dark-wood
rafters. All of the apartments have fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes for
self-catering purposes, as well as dining and living areas with free Wi-Fi, TVs (mostly
flat-screen), and DVD players. Some apartments are upstairs in buildings with no elevator,
so those with mobility issues should mention this when booking.
Features
Travel agency
can arrange transport and tours
Since these are
serviced apartments, there’s not much offered beyond accommodation. However the
Gajeta Travel Agency is obviously on hand to help with any transport or tour
arrangements, as well as airport transfers. All apartments do have free Wi-Fi.
