Charming Apartment with River and Castle View
About
THE SPACE The first room is a large space with two single beds. Attached to it is the smaller bathroom. From the first space, you enter into a small hallway that leads to the bigger bathroom, to the bedroom with a double bed, and to a living room with a kitchen, sofa, TV, and dining table. This room overlooks the Ljubljanica River and has a view of the castle. This 64 m2 (688 sq. ft.) apartment was completely renovated in 2008 (new hardwood floors, walls, tiles, windows, doors, etc.). The mattresses were replaced in 2022, a new washer and a new dryer were bought in 2023. Clean towels, sheets, and all bedding provided. We also provide toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, and dishwashing detergent, as well as some cleaning supplies. You can find extra blankets and extra pillows in the bedroom closets. There is an iron and ironing board that you can use, as well as a clothes-drying rack. There are also books, slippers, a sewing kit, and other small necessities in the apartment to make your stay more comfortable. There are two air conditioning/air heating units in the apartment - one in the living room where the sofa is and the other one in the room with the two single beds. We have floor heating and radiators in all the rooms. Each room can have a different temperature setting. Guests have access to the thermostat for all heating/cooling devices All rooms have hardwood floors. The apartment has double windows designed to minimize the outside noise. The apartment is located in the main square of the city which is a pedestrian zone. There is no car traffic outside, and the double windows block the sound well. Because of various festivals and events taking place in the vicinity (mostly in the summer, and usually only on the weekends), there can still be some street sounds heard from the outside. CLEANING The calendar is blocked 24 hours between bookings so we can get the apartment ready a day before the guest's check-in date. Therefore, check-in earlier than 1PM is sometimes possible, it might also be possible to stay a few hours after the 1PM checkout time. We follow the cleaning protocols published by the National Institute of Public Health. This includes airing out the apartment and providing disinfectant and other cleaning supplies. We regularly clean mattresses and the sofa with Hyla deep-cleaning system. CITY TOURIST TAX - IMPORTANT The Ljubljana city tourist tax has to be paid by guests in all hotels and private apartments. The tax is 3.13€ per adult person per night, 1.57€ for children 7-17 years and free for children 0-6 years old. This tourist tax is already listed in the pricing information, but to simplify the process we only collect 3€ per night for every adult (18 or older) person staying which is to be paid in cash at check-in.
