Walking up to Apartments Eleganca- One Bedroom Apartment Oridino on Zlatarićeva Street, you immediately know you’ve hit the jackpot location-wise. I mean, you’re literally steps from the Stradun — Dubrovnik’s main pedestrian street — and the ancient stone walls seem to wrap around you. This four-star apartment sits right in the thick of Old Town’s medieval charm, which honestly can be both a blessing and a curse depending on what you’re after. The building itself blends seamlessly with the historic architecture, so you won’t feel like you’re staying in some modern eyesore.
You know what’s brilliant about this spot? Everything worth seeing is within a five-minute walk — the Rector’s Palace, the cathedral, those famous city walls where you’ll spend half a day taking photos. The narrow cobblestone streets can get pretty crowded during peak season (July and August are absolutely mental), but early mornings and evenings have this magical quality when the day-trippers have cleared out. Just be prepared for some serious steps if you’re hauling luggage — Old Town isn’t exactly wheelchair accessible, and those medieval streets weren’t designed with modern suitcases in mind.
The one-bedroom setup works perfectly for couples, and I can see why they rate the location so highly — there’s something romantic about falling asleep to the sound of footsteps on ancient stones. The room comes with what they promise: seriously comfortable beds that actually live up to the hype. I’ve stayed in plenty of places where “comfy beds” means decent at best, but these genuinely help you sleep well despite any street noise. The space feels authentically Croatian without being kitschy — think exposed stone details and traditional touches that don’t feel forced.
Having your own place in Old Town means you can pop back for afternoon breaks, which is honestly a game-changer when you’re doing the full tourist circuit. The local konoba (traditional taverns) are right on your doorstep, and you’ll discover that Zlatarićeva connects you to both the touristy spots and the slightly more local corners where residents actually live. Morning coffee runs become part of the experience — there’s a certain rhythm to Old Town life that you pick up on when you’re staying rather than just visiting.
That 9.4 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve experienced the location for yourself. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something undeniably special about having your own little corner of this UNESCO World Heritage site. The combination of authentic atmosphere, genuinely comfortable accommodations, and that unbeatable position in the heart of everything creates exactly what most people dream about when they picture a Dubrovnik stay. Sure, you’ll pay a premium for being inside the walls, but honestly? Waking up in the middle of all that history feels worth every kuna.

Met with keys. Carried luggage up the stairs
It is a big advantage to have an apartment in Dubrovnik, and this one was very comfortable. While we dined out in the evening, it was so good to have coffee, breakfast & lunch in the apartment & not have to compete with the many tourists who visit the old city during the day. The location is very convenient and the building is secure. The apartment was light and airy. It was fun to look down at the comings & goings on the Stradum. In early October, the city was busy but not completely over-run with people. With the windows closed & A/C on, we heard little or no noise from the street. It was very handy having a washing machine for clothes as well as a small dishwasher. Communication with Marco re arrival was very easy.
What could be improved: The coffee machine was a little temperamental (googled the manual to sort out a few issues). There was a minor leak in the shower recess (not a big problem).
