First Impressions Pulling up to Apartments Bajo – FREE PARKING, the first thing you notice — honestly — is how calm it feels compared to the chaos closer to the Old Town.
Pulling up to Apartments Bajo – FREE PARKING, the first thing you notice — honestly — is how calm it feels compared to the chaos closer to the Old Town. Vrbica is a quiet residential street, the kind where locals actually live, and there’s something immediately reassuring about that. The building is modest and unpretentious, which suits Dubrovnik perfectly once you realise you’re here for the city, not to be impressed by a lobby.
Okay, so here’s the thing about staying just outside Dubrovnik’s walls — it’s actually a smart move. You’re close enough to walk into the Old Town in a reasonable amount of time, but far enough that you’re not paying through the nose or fighting crowds the moment you step outside. Couples especially seem to get this, and the location scores here are genuinely high — guests have rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip, which tells you something. The surrounding neighbourhood has a real, lived-in feel that a lot of visitors end up appreciating more than they expected.
I know it sounds like a small thing, but free private parking in Dubrovnik is genuinely a big deal. If you’ve ever tried to drive into this city in summer, you’ll know exactly what I mean — it can be a nightmare of narrow roads, tourist buses, and overpriced car parks. Having a dedicated spot on-site takes that whole stress off the table from the moment you arrive. For anyone road-tripping down the Dalmatian coast, this alone is worth factoring into your decision.
This is a three-star property, so don’t come expecting anything flashy — but what you do get is space, practicality, and a home-away-from-home kind of setup. The apartments are well-kept and give you room to actually breathe, which matters after a long day of walking Dubrovnik’s famously steep streets. Having your own kitchen or kitchenette is a real bonus here, especially if you want to grab fresh produce from a local market and not eat out every single meal. It’s the kind of place where you settle in quickly.
The overall guest rating sits at 9.4, and honestly, that number makes sense once you’ve spent a night or two here. It’s not about grand gestures — it’s about a place that does the basics really well, in a city where accommodation can be overpriced and underwhelming. Apartments Bajo – FREE PARKING hits a sweet spot between value, location, and comfort that’s surprisingly hard to find in Dubrovnik. If you’re planning a trip to one of Croatia’s most visited cities and you want somewhere that feels grounded and genuinely well-rated rather than just well-marketed, this is worth a serious look.
Savvy travelers reserve a hotel in Dubrovnik before autumn regattas fill marina suites with sailors chasing Adriatic breezes.

The hosts have done an incredible job of thinking of every little detail. Tons of information about what to do and where to go. The location and unit was above and beyond expectations. Incredible views, and amazing night sky from the deck. Getting to Dubrovnik old town cost about 8-10 Euro by Uber, which was money well spent to avoid the traffic and parking nightmare there. The unit had free parking.
What could be improved: Nothing.
The view from the terrace was unbelievable beautiful.
What could be improved: Everything was great.
We stayed only for one night, fabulous view from the patio, spatious room and excelent place for swiming and enjoying sea and sun in peace. Very tidy host, lots of information for those who need.
What could be improved: Entering the street and parking not for a beginner driver.
Terrazza e accesso privato alla spiaggia
The location was great for us but it depends what you are wanting from your stay. We wanted to be away from the tourism to relax and have amazing views. On the days we wanted to be tourists, we got an uber or bolt.
The owners house is right next door but we didn't see them at all which is great that they leave you to enjoy your stay but are there if you need them. The private rock deck is amazing to relax and watch the sunset.
What could be improved: There was nothing not to like.
It was PERFECT. The property is really clean and has all the necessities. It has more kitchen tools than I have at home 😅 The owners are SUPER nice, make incredible wine. You can see that they definitely care about making your stay comfortable.
The view from our place was breathtaking, we didn’t want to leave.
My friend and I are already making plans to come back next summer
The pictures undersells how beautiful the environment of the property really is !
What could be improved: You will need a car (taxi/Uber) for ALL plans you have outside the accomodation (it's a feeling we had for Dubrovnik in general, walking felt uncomfortable even undoable/dangerous at times).
Beautiful sea view.
The view - having breakfast and looking at the sea is something extraordinary (especially for someone who can't have that at home).
The beach - private access to the sea is amazing. As far as I understand there are 3 apartments + host so there may be some people but it is still quite private.
In a one day stay we didn't find any problem but for the longer stay it may be an issue that there are no restaurants or bars in walking distance (but that's kinda the point of this place - to be away from everything). It's a few minutes by car however and the host informed us in advance about it so we did some shopping before check-in.
