Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places around Dubrovnik, and Apartment Olga is honestly one of those gems that gets everything right without trying too hard. It’s tucked away on Paska Baburice – which, okay, sounds intimidating if you don’t speak Croatian, but it’s actually this quiet residential street in Lapad that feels refreshingly normal after dealing with the tourist chaos in the Old Town.

The thing about Lapad is that it’s where you want to be if you’re planning to actually explore Dubrovnik properly. You’re maybe a 15-minute bus ride from Pile Gate (the buses run constantly, don’t worry), but you’re also walking distance from some genuinely good beaches that aren’t completely overrun. Lapad Bay is right there, and honestly, after spending a day wandering the city walls in 35-degree heat, you’ll appreciate having somewhere decent to swim that doesn’t require another journey. The apartment itself has that lived-in Croatian hospitality thing going on – you know what I mean if you’ve traveled the Balkans much. It’s clean, it’s comfortable, and there’s this attention to small details that you don’t always get at this price point. The 8.8 rating makes sense when you’re actually staying there; it’s not trying to be fancy, but everything works and the host clearly gives a damn.

What really sold me on the place was the neighborhood vibe. You’ve got actual grocery stores within walking distance (not just tourist-priced mini markets), and there’s this excellent little konoba about two streets over where locals actually eat – I mean, you’ll hear more Croatian than English, which is always a good sign. The street itself is pretty quiet, even in peak summer, though you will hear the occasional bus since the main Lapad route isn’t far. It’s not disruptive, just… urban life, you know? Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving – this is Dubrovnik, after all – but the host knows the area well enough to point you in the right direction. I actually ended up walking more than I planned, which turned out to be perfect since you discover all these little shortcuts down to the water that you’d never find otherwise. The whole Lapad peninsula has this network of paths that locals use, and staying somewhere like Apartment Olga puts you right in the middle of it instead of feeling like you’re just passing through.

Reviews

  • Exceptional – Catarina from Germany – 5 September 2024 (10/10)

    The appartement is good and clean. We loved the outside area to seat and have dinner.
    The host is super friendly and also gave us some tips! On our first day he even took us to neighbourhood to show us around 🙂

    What could be improved: It's impossible to park the car nearby. It was a nightmare.

  • Exceptional – Voyageur from Brazil – 22 June 2025 (10/10)

    A cordialidade do anfitrião Miho é excepcional. Ele é muito simpático, gentil e prestativo.
    A acomodação é super agradável, com todos equipamentos funcionais, tudo muito bem limpo e conservado. Há uma varanda com mesa ao lado de um pomar que a noite proporciona um excelente local para as refeições. Há pontos de ônibus em aproximadamente 5min de caminhada. Supermercados, lanchonetes e restaurantes também são alcançáveis em poucos minutos de caminhada. A cozinha possui um básico de temperos, não possui forno, mas é bem organizada.

  • Perfetto – De from Italy – 24 September 2024 (10/10)

    Il proprietario è una persona fantastica. Parla inglese e anche italiano infatti comunicare è stato semplicissimo. La zona è molto comoda ci sono molti supermercati nelle vicinanze e spiagge raggiungibili a piedi. Per raggiungere il centro (le mura) ci sono i pullman 4 e 6 e le fermate sono vicinissime a casa. La casa aveva tutto non ci è mai mancato nulla è stato un soggiorno più che perfetto.

  • Appartamento comodo – Giustina from Italy – 30 August 2024 (8/10)

    L'ampiezza della camera da letto, la comodità dei letti, la verandina per mangiare fuori. Anche la posizione era buona. Il proprietario molto gentile.

    What could be improved: Nella descrizione c'era scritto che c'erano 2 bagni, la lavastoviglie e l'aciugacapelli, mentre non era così. Mi sarei aspettata di trovare un minimo di fornitura in cucina, tipi sale, olio, ecc…

  • Superb – Francesca from Italy – 24 July 2024 (9/10)

    L'appartamento contiene tutto il necessario per una vacanza. Noi abbiamo usato molto la cucina e abbiamo trovato tutti gli utensili puliti, così come tutta la casa.
    Il proprietario di casa è molto gentile e disponibile e parla anche un po' di italiano, ci ha regalato anche dei peperoni dal suo orto.

    What could be improved: Niente
