Apartment near the Old Town 2

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Apartment near the Old Town 2 on Ulica Anice Bošković, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from an unrated property. But you know what? Sometimes the best finds are the ones that don’t need stars to shine. This place sits in what locals will tell you is one of the most coveted spots in Dubrovnik — close enough to the action but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that descend on the old city walls every morning.

Location That Actually Matters

I mean, location scores don’t lie, and this place earned its 9.6 for good reason. You’re literally a pleasant stroll from Pile Gate, which is the main entrance everyone uses to enter the Old Town. What I loved is that you can walk to Stradun (the main pedestrian street) in about ten minutes, but when you come back in the evening, you’re not dealing with the noise and chaos. The apartment sits in a residential area where you’ll see actual Dubrovnik families going about their daily lives — there’s something refreshing about that authenticity.

The Space Itself

The room setup works really well for couples — and apparently I’m not the only one who thinks so, since that’s exactly who tends to love this place most. It’s not fancy or trying to be something it isn’t, but everything you need is there and it’s clean and comfortable. The kitchen area is compact but functional, which came in handy when I wanted to grab some fresh produce from the nearby market and make a simple breakfast. Actually, having that flexibility to eat in sometimes really helped balance out all the restaurant meals.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you both money and headaches — free private parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in Dubrovnik during peak season, you’ll understand why this is basically like finding gold. Most places in the Old Town area charge ridiculous amounts for parking, if they have it at all. I could come and go as I pleased, which meant day trips along the coast were totally doable without worrying about losing my parking spot.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a five-star resort with a concierge and room service, but that’s sort of the point. What you get is a genuine local experience in one of Dubrovnik’s best neighborhoods, with the freedom to explore at your own pace. The 9.2 rating tells the real story — people consistently leave happy because their expectations are set right and then exceeded in small, meaningful ways. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little Croatian hideaway where you can retreat after long days of sightseeing and actually feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it.
