Lakeview Bled Heaven Apartments

Magnificent setting!

We had asked for four separate beds & were told no problem. When we arrived there were three separate beds, one of them being a double bed with two separate duvets on a double base! We had to find some sheets & separate a couch into another bed that I feel should have already been prepared!

The accommodation is in an excellent position near the lake, local supermarket, lovely restaurant and just a short walk to the Ojstrica viewpoint. The balcony outside is also nice with deckchairs. It’s just a short walk to the centre of bled and directly outside the apartment is the bathing spot. The apartment offers lots of information for the guest and there is an added bonus of parking with the apartment, a nice plus given how expensive parking is in the town. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a kettle and some cups etc

The room (I say room, because it’s essentially a room within an apartment) is very basic (like a student flat) but this wasn’t a big problem for us as we arrived late and were out most of the second day exploring. The style of the flat is balanced by its location and centrality. Unfortunately, while we were staying there, the water to the cistern was constantly trickling (my husband managed a temporary fix). In the bathroom the shower cubicle needs some attention or ‘fix’ to stop the water going everywhere, it’s a combination of too strong of pressure and a poor seal around the door. Again, not a huge problem for us but you can see that a lot of moisture there is starting to affect the grout and silicone. The advert for the accommodation shows a kitchen in the photos, but note that the Lake View apartment only has a bedroom and en-suite. We were only there two nights and out most of the time so again not a problem. We did also note a smell of cigarette smoke in the apartment, we don’t know if this is from people smoking outside and leaving the door open - I realise not a lot the owner can do. Lastly, I don’t think it’s clear when booking that the parking space is not right at the apartment but rather a 5 min walk up a hill. We are young and didn’t carry too much stuff so again not a problem but I think it could be made clearer in the initial advert.

Location

The unit we had was just a small basic room. I should’ve paid more attention to the exact unit I was renting. We really needed more of an apartment style. The location and parking more than made up for any short comings the room had for us.

Excellent location and generally good facilities.

No heat provided in apartments.
