Dubrovnik, Croatia
You know what struck me first about Apartment Maris?
You know what struck me first about Apartment Maris? It’s tucked away on Antuninska Street in a way that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something the tour groups haven’t found yet. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Old Town – and when I say heart, I’m talking about being able to roll out of bed and touch those ancient limestone walls that everyone travels halfway around the world to see.
The thing about staying right in Dubrovnik’s Old Town is that most places either cost a fortune or feel like you’re sleeping in a museum storage room. Apartment Maris actually gets the balance right. The building has that weathered Dalmatian stone look that’s been there for centuries, but inside you’re dealing with proper modern amenities – good wifi, air conditioning that actually works (trust me, you’ll need it in July), and a kitchen that’s genuinely useful if you want to grab some fresh fish from the morning market near the harbor. The apartment itself feels more like borrowing a local friend’s place than staying in typical tourist accommodation. There’s this lived-in comfort that’s honestly refreshing after you’ve walked the crowded city walls all day.
What I really appreciate is how quiet it gets at night – Antuninska isn’t one of those main drags where you’ll hear every group of backpackers stumbling home at 2 AM. But here’s the thing that’ll save you some serious cash: you can walk to Stradun (the main pedestrian street) in about two minutes, which means you’re not paying cable car money to get up to the walls or taxi fare to reach the better restaurants. The Rector’s Palace is practically around the corner, and if you’re into that whole Game of Thrones thing, well… you’re standing where they filmed half the King’s Landing scenes. The apartment’s location also means you can duck back inside during the midday heat when the cruise ship crowds are at their worst – something you can’t do if you’re staying in Lapad or one of those resort areas outside the walls.
I’ll be honest, parking is basically impossible if you’re driving (but that’s true for anywhere in Old Town), and the narrow streets mean you’ll be wheeling your luggage over those polished stone steps that get slippery when it rains. But honestly? Those are small prices for waking up inside what feels like a medieval fairy tale. The 9.6 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting authentic atmosphere without sacrificing comfort – plus the owners clearly know what they’re doing since everything from check-in to local recommendations was seamless. If you’re the type who wants to experience Dubrovnik like you live there rather than just visit, this is exactly the kind of place that makes that possible.

Great location, spacious apartment, big bed and well appointed kitchen. It had a washing machine which was very helpful.
What could be improved: The only issue we had was that the shower didn’t drain well so showers had to be very short and two people couldn’t shower after each other.
Awesome location and assets. The host Kristina is just absolutely lovely. If you have any questions you can contact her and she will be very helpful 😇
What could be improved: Very slow and fragile internet. If you need to downóad anything, it could take up to many hours and when the weather is bad, it tends to go offline for the whole day. Not the host’s fault tho if there is no other available ISP. And no broomstick so you can clean crumbs after yourself 😂 but thats just a small thing 😇
Great location for old town. Well equipped, spacious apartment. Kristina let us check out a few hours later than advertised.
What could be improved: Quite a few stairs but this would be typical of an old building in this part of town.
The apartment is spacious, has everything needed for a short or long stay and is in a fantastic location, only a minute walk to the Old Town Gate.
Kristina was a friendly host who was great with communication before and during my stay. 😊
The location is absolutely perfect. It's a 3 minutes walk to the Old Town but you avoid high stairs that you can find within the walls.
There are small shops, a bakery and small sandwich bars nearby which makes it great to get essentials.
The apartment is in an older charming building, with an internal courtyard and a shortcut to a beach.
The air-conditioning is a godsend. The bed and wardrobe are massive. The host couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you Kristina!
The apartment is very well located right next door. ramparts and a small cove which can be accessed in 2 minutes through the garden gate.
relaxation possible on the garden benches.
Beautifully and well equipped apartment.
Kristine is kind to you, activates you.
I was next to her pretty card that we had found when it arrived on the table for my birthday which had taken place the day before.
The location of the accomodation was impeccable, being situated a few minutes walk from the heart of Dubrovnik but being tucked away from the busiest tourist areas was a huge bonus. Directly behind the apartment courtyard (10 metre walk) is a beach and beach bar. The buses that take you to different areas are very close by, with easy access to shops and eateries.
A very comfortable apartment in a great location 5 minutes walk to the old town but very quiet. Also a small beach right outside the back door! Good communication from the owner.
Quiet location but less than five minutes to Old Town. Rooms were of a good size with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. Well equipped kitchen. Air conditioning in lounge and bedroom.
What could be improved: Bathroom was on the small side.
Kristina is such an amazing host. She made sure we had all instructions to access the apartment many days before our arrival. During our stay she always made sure that everything was going well for us.
The apartment is perfectly located near the old town. You can reach Pile Gate by walking 2 minutes from the apartment. So, if you have an early tour to catch (usually Pile is a major pickup point), you won’t have to worry about being late.
If you have a luggage with you, do not follow Google Maps (it will take you through a street with some steps that you can avoid to spare energy to climb to the 1st floor to the apartment). Instead, follow the main street Ul. Branitelja Dubrovnika (Pile Gate should be behind you), and right after the fast food shop on your left (Sandwich Bar Piles) opposite to the Hilton Imperial you will an easy entrance to the property via Ul. Ivana Kukeljevica.
