Nice location and nice apartment

Apartment was well maintained and in an excellent location. Check-in process was smooth and the staff were very helpful. The only issue I had was with the parking. It was very narrow and had a tough time managing to park my car and take it out

Lovely location with a great view of the sea. The lady who showed us to our room was fantastic and very helpfull. Bus stop right outside the property for split or in the other direction Omis. Far better than staying at a hotel in the area, restaurants shops and bars all within a few minutes walk. I highly recommend this property for your stay. Stayed for 3 nights and can not fault the place at all.

Nice place, clean and neat. Good location and parking option. Take into consideration that going up the stairs is not an issue. We had the apartment on the top floor. Very nice view but a lot of stairs. The lady who checked us in was very kind of helping us with the luggage.

Special thank you to Dina. Wonderfull person!! Good appartement but to go to the beach there's a road to cross that i find dangerous for children. The beach is a "urban" beach with a lot people, restaurant, ect... but the landscape is very beautiful and people nice. Even so very pleasant place ! to go to Split there is only one road where there is a lot of traffic... have to be patient... My childen and I we loved excursion! Croatie is a Wonderfull Country!!

Overall a great hotel and helpful staff. Pros: clean, modern, lots of amenities. Excellent beach across the street. Has parking. We really enjoyed our stay. Cons: it is about15-20 min drive to Split, but in the morning it took us over an hour to reach Split. This is due to only 1 road that crosses the river and its lights flash amber (no traffic control). This was consistent over the 3 days we passed by the area. Also, turning into the property is difficult depending on which way you arrive, but this is minor. Google maps will take you through a longer but better route. Laundry service is 15 euros

We had a great stay at Smartstay Johnny. The host was very organized, professional, and easy to communicate with. The room was clean, modern, and in a great location directly across from the beach, with a few restaurants nearby. It's also only a 20-minute drive to Split. One thing to note is that Expedia listed laundry service as an amenity, but it wasn't available during our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily stay here again.
