Apartments Radic – Studio Apartment 2-3 Adults – Kneza Domagoja Street – BR 1

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from a studio apartment tucked away on Kneza Domagoja Street, but Apartments Radic actually surprised me. The whole Lapad area has this quiet residential vibe that feels worlds away from the tourist madness in Old Town – and honestly, after spending a day dodging cruise ship crowds, that’s exactly what you want. The apartment itself is pretty straightforward, nothing fancy, but it’s got that clean, no-nonsense feel that makes you feel like you’re staying in someone’s well-kept home rather than some sterile hotel room.

The location is honestly perfect if you’re smart about it. Sure, you’re about a 15-minute walk from the main Lapad promenade (where all the restaurants and the decent beach are), but that means you’re also away from the evening noise when people are bar-hopping along the waterfront. I mean, you can still hear the occasional scooter puttering by in the morning, but it’s nothing compared to staying right in the thick of things. The apartment comfortably fits two people, and while they say it can handle three adults, that third person better be really good friends with the other two – it’s cozy, let’s put it that way. What I really appreciated was how the owner clearly knows what travelers actually need: decent WiFi, a proper shower with good water pressure, and a little kitchenette that’s actually functional if you want to grab groceries from the Konzum down the street and save some money on meals.

The whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward too – no waiting around in lobbies or dealing with front desk attitude. You get your keys, you get the WiFi password, and you’re set. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this neighborhood (like everywhere in Dubrovnik, really), but there are spots along the residential streets if you’re patient and don’t mind walking a block or two. What really sold me on this place was how it felt like a genuine slice of how locals live – you’ve got families with kids playing in the small courtyards, older residents tending their little gardens, and that authentic Croatian neighborhood rhythm that you completely miss when you’re staying in the tourist zones. The apartment gets great morning light, which sounds minor but actually makes a huge difference when you’re planning your day over coffee. Plus, you’re positioned perfectly to explore both the Lapad peninsula and make easy trips into the Old Town without feeling like you’re trapped in either spot.
