Our stay in the house exceeded our expectations. The house was perfectly equipped, very clean and inviting. The photos were accurate and there were plenty of cooking utensils, a hairdryer, two washing machines and two towels per person. A car is necessary to reach the beach and the old town, but there are also affordable taxis. There are many parking spots available in front of the house. Ante and Nadija were excellent hosts who were available for questions and always happy to help. During our visit, the pool was cleaned twice by the hosts, of which we were informed in advance. The wifi had some issues but after plugging it out & in once a day everything worked fine - noting that we had 7 phones and some other advices like notebooks and laptops. A nice add on for the pool would be a beach umbrella for some extra shade. If we ever come back to Zadar, we hope to stay with Ante and Nadija again. Thank you for the great time!
