This is a review of our VRBO stay with Tonko and Tanja Brailo while in Dubrovnik, Croatia. First, this charming apartment with its wood-planked ceiling and its amenities were perfect for our stay. Our apartment had a full kitchen, including a freezer we never used, a main bedroom, an extra bedroom we used to store luggage and read in, a dining area, a living room, and a bathroom with a shower and a washing machine. For a week’s stay we never wanted for anything. The water in the shower was always immediately hot and plentiful, and Tanja showed us how to run the washing machine, and gave us a box of soap powder to run our laundry. The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, sugar and all the appliances, plates, pots and pans, etc. that we would need. However, the main feature of this apartment is its close proximity to Dubrovnik and its excellent view! We had a lovely view of the island of Lokrum and the Old Town of Dubrovnik from our balcony and bedroom, where we could see both the sunrise and sunset, and feel the wonderful sea breezes and while the apartment was across the street on the bus line, we chose to walk 6-10 minutes into town or to the beach.
All that said, our main interest in writing this review is to comment on just how lovely Tonko and Tanja made our stay in Dubrovnik. Just off the plane, Tonko greeted us with Croatian wine and sparkling water, and on the last night Tonko and Tanja treated us to a Croatian fish dinner. Throughout our week’s stay, it was a common occurrence for Tonko to bring us a small plate of cherry strudel, chocolate pancakes, grapes from their garden and wine and sparkling water. Tonko is a person who loves people and wants to make his guest’s stay in Croatia special. He is informative and genuinely gracious, but also respectful of your time and space. You can knock on his door at any time of the day and he will help you out with your question or concern, probably over wine or a cappuccino at the picnic table under the grape trellis. We used Tonko to set up our airport transfers, a private tour to Mostar, and a walking tour of Old Town. Everything was done timely and more than met our needs. We can’t recommend them highly enough. They made us feel like more than just visitors — they made us feel like good friends. Our stay with them made the difference in a good vacation and one that exceeded all our expectations. If possible, we would be giving them more than the five stars allowed in the review.
