Apartment LaBonne

Apartment LaBonne Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment LaBonne on Ulica Zlatni Potok, you immediately get that feeling — you know, when you realize you’ve stumbled onto something really good. This four-star place sits in one of those perfect spots in Dubrovnik where you’re close enough to everything that matters but far enough from the cruise ship crowds to actually breathe. The building itself has that understated Croatian charm, nothing flashy, just solid and welcoming in a way that makes you want to drop your bags and start exploring.

The Location Magic

Honestly, the location is what sets this place apart — and I mean really apart. You’re in Ploče, which locals will tell you is where they’d actually want to stay if they were visiting their own city. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the Old Town walls, but here’s the thing: you get to approach Dubrovnik the right way, from the east, where you can see the whole medieval masterpiece spread out before you. The nearby beaches at Banje and Sveti Jakov are both walkable, and there’s this great little path that winds along the coast if you’re into morning runs or evening strolls.

The Space Itself

The apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel room — assuming your friend has excellent taste and keeps everything spotless. The kitchen is actually functional (I made coffee there every morning), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What really got me was the attention to detail — good lighting, comfortable seating, and windows that actually open to let in that Mediterranean breeze. The whole setup just works, you know?

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about the whole experience. Maybe it’s the way the evening light hits the terrace, or how quiet it gets at night when you can hear the waves in the distance. The space gives you room to be together without being on top of each other, which honestly matters more than people think when you’re traveling. Plus, there’s something special about making your own breakfast and planning your day over coffee, rather than rushing through a hotel buffet.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating isn’t just numbers — it reflects what happens when someone gets the fundamentals right and then adds those little touches that matter. The hosts clearly understand Dubrovnik and what travelers actually need, not just what they think they want. You get the independence of having your own space, the comfort of a well-thought-out setup, and that prime location that lets you experience the city like someone who actually lives there. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.
