Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Dubrovnik has no shortage of places to stay, but Apartment Alis genuinely caught me off guard in the best way.
Dubrovnik has no shortage of places to stay, but Apartment Alis genuinely caught me off guard in the best way. It’s tucked along Istarska ulica, a quiet street that somehow manages to feel removed from the tourist bustle while still putting you right in the thick of things. The moment you arrive, there’s this sense that someone actually thought about what travelers need — not just a bed and a key, but a real base for exploring the city.
Honestly, the location here is something else. You’re in the heart of Dubrovnik, which means the Old Town walls, the Stradun, the harbor — all of it is within easy reach on foot. And yet the street itself is calm enough that you’re not dealing with noise bouncing off the walls at midnight. I mean, that balance is genuinely hard to find in a city this popular. Locals know the shortcuts, and staying here you start to feel like one of them pretty quickly.
The space itself is well put together — clean, thoughtfully arranged, and with enough room to actually breathe. It’s a three-star property, so you’re not going to get a spa or a rooftop pool, but what you do get feels solid and honest. There’s a homey quality to it, the kind of place where you come back after a long day of walking the city walls and actually feel like you can relax. Small details — good lighting, a proper kitchen setup, comfortable bedding — make more of a difference than people expect.
Couples in particular seem to click with this place, and I can see why. There’s something about the scale of it that works really well for a trip for two — it’s intimate without feeling cramped, and the whole setup lends itself to that slower, more personal kind of travel. You can grab fresh produce from a nearby market, cook something simple, have a glass of local wine on a warm evening. Dubrovnik is romantic in a way that can feel almost overwhelming, and Apartment Alis gives you a quiet corner to actually enjoy that.
The rating here — a 9.6, which is sort of remarkable for any property — tells you something real about the experience. It’s not the flashiest place in Dubrovnik, and it doesn’t try to be. What it does well is the stuff that actually matters: a genuinely great position in the city, a comfortable and well-kept space, and that feeling that you’re staying somewhere with a bit of character rather than just another anonymous room. If you’re planning a trip to Dubrovnik and want somewhere that delivers on the basics while still feeling special, Apartment Alis is well worth your attention.
Dubrovnik hotels pair terracotta rooftops with sea-view terraces perfect for oysters, rose, and lantern-lit evenings.

The apartment was amazing! Its was clean, big, with great terasse and close to the old town. We can even imagine to live there, it was really great in every aspect.
What could be improved: The metal bad in smaller bedroom was creating sound in every little move the person makes. To make love there could be quite noisy :) but it was really the only snd the smallest thing that could be done to make this apartment just perfect.
The roominess and space for five people host was very good and responded quickly to messages
What could be improved: The stairs up to the property
Excellent outside space for dining and relaxing. Only 10 min walk from the old town.
What could be improved: It was OK for us but it was a challenging climb up a lot of steps from the old town road which some guests may feel off putting.
Just perfect!!!!
Host is nice and friendly the house is beutifull and located only 10 min away from the main city.
The yard is outstanding and cosy.
What could be improved: Nothing.
It's an excellent place for a city break, really good location with just a short walk down to the old town. Mario was great, contacted us before our stay to arrange to meet us,etc. it's a really cozy, comfortable apartment
Lovely spacious bright, modern appartment with lovely view possible of the Fort and Old Town. Comfortable beds, powerful warm shower.
Mario met us at the apartment to show us around and hand us the keys. Appartment is within walking distance to the town and near to the swimming areas. Easily accessible by local buses from Zagrebačka ul (up the way from the apartment), are located: lovely local bakery, supermarkets (Prima and Studenac) and takeway Farma fast food. Down the way from the apartment Ul.branitelia Dubrovnika (also buses are stopping there), it's closer towards Šulić beach and Plaža Danče beach, amazing spot for sunset and swimming.
We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was as it should be, the place was clean, a really good sized property for 5 people! The location is so close to the old town it’s perfect! Mario was so helpful, answering all of our questions - he also organised transfers for the airport and gave us recommendations of places to visit and beaches to go to!
