Ever since former associate social media manager Kayla Brock visited Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National Park in 2017, she’d been scheming to explore even more of Croatia—and last summer, she finally made progress on her unfinished business. For just 48 hours, she visited Split, and was especially excited to get lost in the city’s Old Town. She sought out a place to stay near the neighborhood, and the seemingly standard apartment she chose ended up becoming one of her favorite Airbnbs. The fact that it was 10 minutes from Old Town was great, as were the hotel-worthy king-size bed, the double balconies, and the thoughtfulness of the host, Natasa—but according to Kayla, the apartment’s greatest asset is its interiors.
“It was the space that really captivated me,” Brock writes. “I had so much room to move around, from the inviting entryway to the bedroom with a wardrobe, side table, lounge chair, and even a luggage rack (I don’t put my suitcase on the bed because…germs), to the two separate balconies to the dining room where Natasa provided domestic peaches for me to try.”
