Apartman ZZ

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me most about Apartman ZZ? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet residential street in Lapad – Ulica Iva Vojnovića – where you’ll hear more Croatian conversations from locals heading to work than tourist chatter. I mean, when you think Dubrovnik, you picture those medieval walls and cruise ship crowds, but this place sits in what feels like a real neighborhood. The apartment building itself is pretty standard Croatian architecture, nothing fancy, but honestly that’s part of its charm. You’re getting an authentic slice of how people actually live here, not some sanitized hotel experience.

The location is honestly brilliant once you understand Dubrovnik’s layout. Lapad peninsula is where a lot of locals choose to live because it’s got that residential vibe but you’re still only about a 15-minute bus ride from the Old Town madness. There’s this great morning routine I discovered – walk down to the Lapad waterfront (maybe 8 minutes on foot), grab coffee at one of those seaside cafés where the barista actually remembers your order, then catch the bus into town when you’re ready for sightseeing. The beach situation is solid too – Lapad Bay has that protected, family-friendly swimming area, and if you’re feeling adventurous, the coastal walk toward Babin Kuk has some gorgeous hidden coves. What I really appreciated was having a proper kitchen in the apartment because, let’s be honest, eating out for every meal in Dubrovnik will drain your wallet fast. The nearby Konzum supermarket becomes your best friend, and there’s something satisfying about making morning coffee while looking out at actual Croatian life happening on the street below.

The apartment itself hits that sweet spot of being clean and functional without trying too hard. Three stars feels right – you’re not getting marble bathrooms or room service, but everything works, the wifi is solid, and the air conditioning actually cools the place down (crucial during those sticky summer months). Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, no corporate nonsense, just practical information about bus routes and where to buy groceries. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to experience Dubrovnik beyond the tourist bubble. It’s perfect for people who want to explore the famous stuff during the day but come home to a quiet street where the biggest excitement is the neighbor’s cat sunbathing on the balcony. Plus, honestly, when you’re paying Dubrovnik prices for everything else, having an affordable base that doesn’t feel like a compromise is pretty much gold.
