DuArt Cozy Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I was honestly skeptical when I first saw “DuArt Cozy Apartment” listed as a 4-star place – I mean, apartments can be hit or miss, right? But walking up to Liechtensteinov put 22/C in Lapad, I actually got excited. The building has this understated elegance that immediately tells you someone cares about the details here.

The location is brilliant in that sneaky way locals love – you’re in Lapad, which means you’re away from the Old Town tourist chaos but still close enough to walk there in about 15 minutes along the coastal path. That walk, by the way, is gorgeous and way better than fighting for space on the crowded buses during peak season. The apartment itself feels like staying at a design-conscious friend’s place who happens to have incredible taste. Everything’s been thought through – the lighting actually works for reading (shocking, I know), the kitchen has proper coffee equipment, and the bathroom products don’t smell like industrial cleaner. I kept finding these little touches that made me think “oh, they get it” – like decent hangers in the closet and blackout curtains that actually block light.

What really sold me was the neighborhood vibe. Lapad’s got this residential feel where you’ll hear Croatian conversations drifting from balconies in the evening, but it’s never rowdy. There’s a small market just down the street where locals shop, and honestly, grabbing fresh bread there in the morning became my favorite ritual. The 9.8 rating makes perfect sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be a flashy hotel with marble everything, but it nails what travelers actually want: a beautiful, comfortable space that feels authentic to the place you’re visiting. The only tiny complaint I’d have is that the WiFi gets a bit temperamental during afternoon hours when everyone’s uploading their sunset photos, but that’s pretty much universal in Dubrovnik. If you’re the type who prefers experiencing a city like a temporary resident rather than a tourist passing through, this place absolutely delivers.

  Very nice accommodation with everything we needed. The hostess's approach was excellent.

• Luca from Malaysia – 1 January 2025 (10/10)

  Everything about this place. Stunning location. Located in a very quiet residential area with sea views. The apartment is beautiful and better than pictures. We are in 4 but the place is huge. The host have decorated the house very well. Bonus they have a garage parking. It's about a 20min walk to the old city. We
  had a wonderful stay and regretted not staying longer.

  I had a fantastic stay in this modern and comfortable apartment, just a short walk from Dubrovnik's Old Town. The host was amazing—super friendly and provided great recommendations for local spots. It’s a perfect place for families, offering both convenience and comfort. Highly recommend!

• Nicole from Canada – 5 October 2024 (10/10)

  Wonderful apartment and host! Spotlessly clean and in a quiet location close to town but far enough away from the crowds to ensure a great night's sleep. Our host was an excellent communicator who was kind enough to help arrange transportation from the airport and met us later at night, after a flight delay. A lovely place I can heartily recommend.

• Dwarkasing from Netherlands – 25 July 2024 (9/10)

  Location was close to Old Town, we once walked and used Uber another time. Our host was very friendly and helpfull. The apartment had everything you might need, including airconditioning in both bedrooms! Parking was good.
  We went to the beach in Kupari, ‘abandoned city’. Worth the drive.

• Pauline from United Kingdom – 20 July 2024 (9/10)

  Super little modern apartment about a mile out of the old town. Walkable but around 7-10 Euros in an Uber. A few small supermarkets nearby. This apartment has everything you could need. Well equipped kitchen, laundry room, balcony, and two bedrooms. We had wifi and even Netflix. Really nicely decorated. Very tasteful, clean and modern. The host was super recommending loads of good activities and met us when we arrived and left and kept in contact by text in case we needed anything. Would not hesitate to recommend this lovely apartment to anyone visiting the area.
  
  What could be improved: We needed nothing more.
