Google Maps will resolve the dilemma

Despite my experience, there have been a few times when I’ve booked an apartment—via Airbnb or Booking—that offered a “million-dollar view,” but also involved climbing stairs—and more stairs, and even more stairs. I decided to look into how I could figure this out before making a reservation. All I need is Google Maps.

Few examples from my holidays

One place I stayed was on Ulica Marina Gazarovića in Hvar. I entered my accommodation as the destination in Google Maps, with the center of Hvar as the starting point. I checked the walking distance from the center; it said 21 minutes—a distance I found acceptable—but at the time, I didn’t check the elevation gain. Google Maps actually provides this information. If you look a bit further down, you can see an elevation gain of 64 meters. How do you know if that’s a lot or a little? Consider that one floor is roughly 3 meters high, so this is equivalent to climbing up to about the 20th floor. In short, it was very high up.

Take a look at the following example.
Once again, I had an apartment with an excellent view, but it was 350 meters away from the lake—or the main road. Furthermore, there is no bus service at all on weekends, and it runs infrequently on other days.

Another example of an apartment in Dubrovnik.
There is a 50-meter climb. I remember that climb well 😊.

Apartment Nevena Split – from the city centre mostly flat

And finally, Apartment Nevena Split, where there are no inclines. Google Maps says “mostly flat.” The elevation gain from the centre to the apartment is 13 meters.

Remember, short distance from city centre does not mean nice location. Pictures with the nice view may indicate that apartment is located on high altitude.

Apartment Nevena Split is located perfectly, 13 minutes walk from the main promenade Riva, flat easy walk.
