Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Apartment Golden Creek Magic View, you immediately understand why this four-star property has such an incredible rating.
Walking up to Apartment Golden Creek Magic View, you immediately understand why this four-star property has such an incredible rating. The building sits perfectly positioned in Ploče, which honestly feels like you’ve discovered Dubrovnik’s best-kept secret — close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that descend on the Old Town daily. I mean, when couples are rating the location 9.7 out of 10, you know you’re onto something special here.
What really struck me about this spot on Ulica Zlatni Potok is how effortlessly you can access both the historic center and the more residential Croatian neighborhoods. You’re literally in the top-rated area of Dubrovnik — and trust me, that location score of 9.9 isn’t just marketing fluff. The free parking alone is worth its weight in gold if you’ve ever tried navigating Dubrovnik’s narrow streets with a rental car. Plus, you can actually walk to the city walls without fighting through the main tourist arteries, which locals will tell you is half the battle during peak season.
The “Magic View” part of the name isn’t overselling things — though I’d say it’s more about the overall experience than just the scenery. These aren’t your typical hotel rooms; you get proper apartment-style accommodations that feel like staying in someone’s thoughtfully designed home. The space gives you room to breathe, which you’ll appreciate after spending days weaving through Dubrovnik’s packed limestone streets. There’s something refreshing about having a place where you can spread out your maps, charge all your devices, and actually unpack for a few days.
Ploče has this wonderful residential feel that most visitors never experience — you’ll see Croatian families going about their daily routines, local cafes that aren’t tourist traps, and small shops where English isn’t the primary language. It’s authentic in a way that the Old Town simply can’t be anymore. The area connects beautifully to the coastal paths too, so your morning walks can include both sea views and glimpses of local life. You know what’s particularly nice? The evening quiet — after the day-trippers head back to their ships, this neighborhood settles into a peaceful rhythm.
Beyond the obvious location benefits, Apartment Golden Creek Magic View delivers that rare combination of independence and comfort that makes a trip memorable. You’re not dealing with hotel breakfast schedules or cramped quarters, but you’re also not sacrificing the refined touches that make a stay special. The fact that it consistently earns such high ratings tells you everything — guests leave feeling like they discovered the right way to experience Dubrovnik. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to explore at their own pace, cook a meal with ingredients from the local markets, and still be steps away from one of Europe’s most stunning medieval cities.
To book a hotel in Dubrovnik during summer festivals, visitors plan ahead to balance Lokrum picnics with sunset concerts in marble plazas.

Highly recommended! The place was very clean and well-maintained, making our stay super comfortable. The hosts were incredibly polite and welcoming, always ready to help if needed. The location is perfect – just a short walk to the city center, so we could easily explore on foot. Plus, having free parking was a huge bonus. Overall, a fantastic experience!
The location was excellent with the a perfect view. The bed was very comfortable
What could be improved: A small amount of modernisation
Damir was an exceptional host. He shared many tips about his city to us prior via Whatsapp. I also told him I was traveling with my dog and he was kind enough to have a dog bowl and treats ready. I really appreciated that. It was my husbands birthday and he brought over a few local gifts including chocolate which was really above and beyond. The deck was great for relaxing with a glass of wine and we had no problems walking the 10-15 minutes down the hill to get to the old town.
What could be improved: There is no ventilation in the bathroom so it can get stuffy.
I liked the view, the size of the apartment, the owner helped us a lot, this flat features two big sleeping places. Everything was great, plus, it's located near the beach.
Great location with a short walk into town, absolutely amazing hosts, very friendly with some great recommendations for our travels later on which we managed to do.
I would recommend to anyone going to Dubrovnik !
What could be improved: Nothing !
Lovely little apartment, fab views of sea and old town. Super comfortable with everything we needed for our short 4 day break. Lovely host, greeted on arrival with wine, chocolates and fruit plus coffee, tea and milk for the morning which was a nice touch.
What could be improved: Lots of steps but then lots of steps everywhere in Dubrovnik!
Damir sent a nice limousine to pickup us from airport and waited at the apartment to hand over the keys together with all the additional advice for good restaurants in town including an 30%discount . Thank you Damir.
What could be improved: We had just 10 days….😂😂
The view of the balcony was fantastic, you dont want to go out
The host Damir and his mother are wonderful people, they are super friendly. Damir brought us wine, drinks, food as gift and presents to our kids. Wow!
The apartment is very well decorated, it has almost all appliances like coffee machine, oven, even a ps4!! that we felt like home.
The beds were super comfortable. Towels and all supplies were high quality and plenty

What could be improved: It's a shame that i cannot rank more than 10 :)
