The only challenges we faced were that the building/address is still relatively new, which made receiving mail a bit tricky (not typically an issue for most people, anyway!), and, confusingly, while the internet was fast enough to do pretty typical things such as streaming movies/music/etc, the signal from the router was not strong enough for our Chromebooks to pick up, although my laptop & our phones had no problem. Weird! (Could very well be a Chromebook issue, to be fair!) It also was a just a little bit shakey for doing video chats, so if you work in some form of consultation/counselor/therapist practice, this is worth knowing (as getting WiFi at a cafe isn't really an option in that line of work!). But I believe most remote workers would be totally fine working here. :)
Overall this place is in a great location, with an *extraordinary* view that we never, ever grew tired of. The bus stop is almost literally right outside the front door, and the ferry to hop over to Tivat is a super close and easy journey, as well. It was our first time in Montenegro and the Herceg-Novi area, and now we are both curious what it's like a little closer to the busy season, when many more things are open. :)
Wonderfully affordable and all of our basic needs were very well-met. Would absolutely send anyone Markus' way and to have a stay in this place.
Thank you very much for everything and for sharing your place with us, Markus & Elisa!
The location in Djenovici is a bit out from Herceg-Novi, but it's simple to hop on the bus and get over there in about 20 minutes (a bus ride is one euro per person!). There is a smaller Idea market nearby, or there is a fancier "Idea Gourmet" market about a ten-minute walk away in Portonovi, but it's considerably more expensive. We were there in the off-season, so many things were closed! But it's such a short walk down to the water/promenade, where in the busier season it's clear there are tons of restaurants and things to enjoy.
It's a modest journey (easy bus ride to the ferry at Kamenari, then catch another bus ride on the other side at Lepetane into central Tivat), but after doing quite a bit of searching for good coffee (not just to have made for us, but for good beans we could buy), we found a great coffee shop in Tivat called Kafeterija Porto. You can buy really nice (even organic) beans, and they'll grind them for you & whatever your needs will be (french press, etc).
