Apartment No1

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment No1 on Čubrina Street, you immediately sense you’ve found something special in Belgrade‘s old town. This isn’t your typical hotel setup — it’s more like staying at a well-connected friend’s place who happens to have impeccable taste. The building sits right in Stari Grad, and I mean right in the thick of things, where you can actually feel the pulse of the city from your doorstep. There’s something refreshingly authentic about the whole experience that you just don’t get with chain hotels.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location here is pretty much unbeatable — there’s a reason it scored 9.9 for location. You’re literally steps away from Knez Mihailova pedestrian zone, and the fortress is close enough that you could stumble there after a night out (which, let’s be real, you probably will). What I love about this spot is that you’re in the real Belgrade, not some sanitized tourist bubble. The cafes around here are where locals actually hang out, and you’ll find yourself naturally slipping into the rhythm of Serbian city life. Couples seem to particularly love this area — there’s something romantic about wandering these old streets together.

The Space

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home, which is exactly what makes it work so well. You get proper living space to spread out, not just a cramped hotel room where you’re tripping over your suitcase. The setup is thoughtful without being fussy — everything you need is there, but it doesn’t feel sterile or overly designed. I particularly appreciated having a real kitchen area; even if you don’t cook much while traveling, it’s nice to have the option to grab some local cheese and wine for an evening in.

The Belgrade Experience

What really sets this place apart is how it connects you to the city. You’re not staying at Belgrade — you’re staying in Belgrade, if that makes sense. The sounds of the neighborhood become part of your experience, and you start to recognize the rhythm of daily life here. Morning coffee at the corner cafe becomes routine, and you’ll find yourself taking different routes through the old town just because you can. It’s the kind of place where you actually feel like you’re living somewhere temporarily rather than just passing through as a tourist.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.2 rating isn’t just about the apartment itself — it’s about the whole experience of staying here. People consistently mention how this place makes them feel connected to Belgrade in a way that traditional hotels simply can’t match. You’re getting authentic neighborhood life with all the comfort and privacy you want. Plus, when everything worth seeing and doing is within walking distance, you spend less time figuring out logistics and more time actually enjoying your trip. It’s particularly perfect for couples who want to explore together without the hassle of commuting from some distant hotel district.
