Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but Sunny Charming Apartment totally caught me off guard in the best way possible. The name’s a bit cheesy, sure, but honestly – it actually lives up to it. The location on Ulica Gorica Svetog Vlaha is one of those spots that makes you feel like you stumbled onto something locals would keep secret if they could. You’re in Lapad, which I mean, if you’ve done your homework on Dubrovnik, you know this is where you want to be if you’re not into the tourist circus of the Old Town but still want to actually get there easily.

The apartment itself has this lived-in charm that’s hard to fake – I’m talking about the kind of place where the wooden floors creak just right and there’s actually decent natural light streaming in (hence the “sunny” part, I guess). What really got me was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re not in the middle of nowhere. The owners clearly know what they’re doing because there are all these little touches that show they’ve actually thought about what travelers need – proper hangers, decent WiFi that doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and a kitchen setup that’s functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the market down the street rather than blow your budget on restaurant meals every night. The bathroom’s nothing fancy, but the water pressure’s solid and it stays hot, which honestly matters more than marble countertops when you’re trying to rinse off salt and sunscreen.

Here’s the thing about this location that guidebooks don’t really capture – you’re about a 15-minute walk to some genuinely great swimming spots along the Lapad Peninsula coastline, and there’s this network of local buses that’ll get you to the Old Town in maybe 20 minutes without the stress of driving those narrow streets or hunting for parking (which, trust me, is a nightmare in summer). The neighborhood has this residential feel where you’ll hear kids playing in the evening and smell someone’s dinner cooking, but it’s not sleepy boring – there are enough cafes and small restaurants within walking distance that you won’t feel stranded. I spent most mornings grabbing coffee from this little place around the corner where the owner remembered my order by day three, which is exactly the kind of experience you hope for but rarely get. The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you’re there for a few days – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does offer is genuinely solid and thoughtfully put together.

    Ana has a very nice design sense – no clutter and very tasteful.

  • Exceptional – David from Serbia – 28 April 2025 (10/10)

    Smeštaj ima super lokaciju, u blizini starog grada i plaža, i vrlo je čist. Domaćini su bili izuzetno ljubazni i uvek spremni da pomognu, a mirno i tiho okruženje ga čini idealnim za odmor. Takođe, odličan odnos cene i kvaliteta, besplatan parking i brzi Wi-Fi dodatno su upotpunili naš boravak.

  • como en casa – Candela from Spain – 17 April 2025 (10/10)

    muy buen trato! la dueña fue atenta y amable, contestó a todas mis preguntas, súper cómodo para disfrutar de un espacio como en casa tranquila. no falta de nada, la única recomendación una manta un poco más gruesa, aunque hay calefacción, pero yo soy muy friolenta, por lo demás increíble! a 18 mins de Pile caminando

  • Świetny city break – Robert from Poland – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

    Kameralny apartament prowadzony przez sympatyczne małżeństwo. Bardzo dobrze zaopatrzony w wszelkie sprzęty. Blisko market, przystanek, kawiarnia, piekarnia. Lokalizacja idealna na zwiedzanie, wszędzie blisko i w ciągu 20-30 minut można dotrzeć pieszo (np. stare miasto czy port). Spokojna okolica pozwala wieczorami odpocząć i zrelaksować się na ganku.
    Właściciele pomocni, bardzo dobry i szybki kontakt. Świetna relacja ceny do jakości.

  • Leuk appartement op ongeveer 20 min lopen van Dubrovnik – Alfred from Netherlands – 23 June 2025 (7/10)

    Appartement was netjes ingericht met prima bed

    What could be improved: Douche in zijn geheel wat krap. Kleine wastafel.
    Prijs per nacht wat aan de hoge kant.

  • Exceptional – Miroslav from Slovakia – 23 May 2025 (10/10)
