Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Apartment Prunus, you immediately get that "this feels right" vibe — it's tucked away on a quiet residential street in Lapad, but honestly, that's exactly what makes it work.
Walking up to Apartment Prunus, you immediately get that “this feels right” vibe — it’s tucked away on a quiet residential street in Lapad, but honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work. The building has this understated Croatian charm that doesn’t try too hard, and when you realize there’s actually free parking right there (which, trust me, is gold in Dubrovnik), you know you’ve made a smart choice. The three-star rating might seem modest, but sometimes that just means they focus on getting the essentials absolutely right.
Here’s what I love about staying in Lapad — you’re close enough to Old Town that it’s totally doable, but far enough away that you escape the cruise ship crowds every evening. The location score of 9.0 isn’t just marketing fluff; this spot genuinely delivers. You can walk to Lapad Beach in about ten minutes, which is perfect for those early morning swims before the day gets busy. The neighborhood has that authentic residential feel where you’ll see locals doing their grocery shopping and kids playing in the streets, but you’re still just a bus ride away from the main attractions.
What strikes you about Apartment Prunus is how thoughtfully it’s set up — this isn’t just a hotel room with a kitchenette thrown in as an afterthought. The space feels like someone actually lives here and wants you to be comfortable. The apartment layout gives you room to spread out, and having a proper kitchen means you can grab fresh produce from the local markets and actually cook if you want to. It’s that perfect balance where you feel independent but still looked after.
I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little Croatian hideaway. You’re not dealing with hotel hallways full of families or groups; instead, you get this intimate setting where you can actually relax together. The quiet street means you can leave your windows open at night and just hear the gentle sounds of the neighborhood. Plus, having that free parking means you can easily explore the Dubrovnik region together without worrying about where to leave the car.
What really sets Apartment Prunus apart is how it solves the classic Dubrovnik dilemma — you want to experience the magic of this incredible city, but you also want a peaceful place to retreat to. The combination of the excellent location, the apartment-style comfort, and those practical touches like free parking creates this perfect base camp situation. You’re getting genuine value here, not just a place to sleep, and in a destination like Dubrovnik where every detail can make or break your trip, that kind of thoughtful setup really matters.
Apartments in Dubrovnik suit long stays with vaulted ceilings, Adriatic breezes, and kitchens stocked from Gundulic Market.

We stayed 6 night. Fantastic location. It is an easy walk down to old town. Great restaurants nearby and supermarket. What made it special was the 2 terraces to sit and relax on at the beginning and end of day. Very peaceful. Nera (host) supplied all the necessary extras eg great coffee. Thanks Nera
What could be improved: Nothing
Cats, the two verandas, two bathrooms,3 bedrooms,fresh fruit.
What could be improved: No microwave, hot water didn't last very long.
Great location, just a short walk or even quicker bus to old city. The owner of the apartment went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed - really friendly.
I really like the apartments. Everything was great. And Nera, the owner was so kind. Apartments had all the necessary things. We really had everything.
What could be improved: Internet was a little bit slow.
Location was nice, 15 minutes walk to the old city centre. Nera also gave us the opportunity to check in two hours early which was very helpful
What could be improved: Not much, maybe that only one of the three bedrooms has airconditioning
Location, size
Well equiped
What could be improved: Need better airconditioner. A lot of hills to walk if you dont have a car.8
The location was great. It was spotless. There was air con. There were figs, promegrates, plums and grapes all growing in the small but very productive garden. Amazing!
What could be improved: Absolutely nothing
With 4 children (11-16) we really enjoyed staying here. Two balconies to sit outside with two sorts of grapes, pomegranate, figs, plum and lemon bringing shade and giving us healthy snacks. Mount Srdj and the Old Town are within walking distance. Our host was of great assistance retrieving a missing backpack that was left in Belgrade. We definitely recommend this place.
What could be improved: The nights remained hot and the two fans in both children’s room did bring some welcome airflow but if your loved ones are used to airconditioning you may want to look elsewhere. Also the heat made the aircon in our bedroom work overtime and that started making noise so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.
loved the 2 toilets
loved the parking
What could be improved: it was too far from the old city
you could not walk there if you are a mature person
we had to take taxis
