If you don't want to walk stairs, Dubrovnik is probably not for you. This apartment (the loft) is not any different in that regard, but totally worth it. It looks better than on the pictures, is very well maintained, super clean and all the accessories you need. We did not experience any strange smell (like some people expressed in reviews) and met with only very friendly reception staff. The rain shower is great, the bed is comfortable and the location is very convenient. If you dink a lot of coffee, you might want to bring some extra Nespresso cups since the supermarket close by does not seem to sell those. We had a great stay and would certainly choose La Vita e Bella again, if returning to Dubrovnik.
