Inside it had Italian appliances, German Guesthaus style furnishings
Our apartment was new, with the smaller balcony, located above our landlord's with the awning
We were lodged in a new apartment in the Ristic family compound a few minutes walk from Lake Bled. There was Internet hookup, telephone, parking downstairs, one large and one small bedroom (that served as an office) a large kitchen, dining, living area, small balcony and lots of storage up a flight of stairs to the unfinished attic. We had everything we needed and the supermarket was just across the street. All this for $40 a night over the period of 14 weeks. Our landlord's were very helpful, showing us how to work the appliances, hooking up our Internet service, arranging for an affordable rental car agent to meet with us, recommending restaurants during our early days, and being available for advice about Slovenian customs and out of the way places to visit. Their compound consisted of the business, a travel agency and Bled meetings and convention coordinator on the first floor of our apartment, a B&B run by Ana Ristic the 89 year old family Matriarch in her turn of the century Victorian house, two daughters who also were in their Father's business, one of which was married and building a home on the compound, and of course the residence of Andrej and Spela. Their hospitality and help made our stay so enjoyable, at times we felt we were part of the family. Indeed, we were invited to several Ristic family gatherings.
