Walking up to Studio Apartment Picasso, you might wonder if you’ve got the right address — it’s tucked into a charming old building on Brace Jugovica that feels more like a local secret than a tourist spot. The entrance is understated, which I actually loved because it means you’re staying somewhere that locals would choose, not just another cookie-cutter place. Once you’re inside though, the space opens up beautifully with clean lines and thoughtful touches that remind you why this place scores so well with guests.
Honestly, the location is what makes Studio Apartment Picasso special — and those 9.8 location scores aren’t just numbers on a page. You’re right in Stari Grad, which means you can walk to Knez Mihailova pedestrian zone in about three minutes, and the fortress is maybe a ten-minute stroll uphill. What I really appreciated was how you’re close enough to everything that matters but on a quieter side street where you can actually sleep at night. The neighborhood has that perfect mix of cafes where locals grab their morning coffee and little shops that stay open late — you know, the kind of area where you feel like you’re living in Belgrade rather than just visiting it.
The studio itself is smartly designed, making the most of every square meter without feeling cramped. There’s a proper kitchenette where you can actually cook something beyond instant noodles, which is great when you want to grab fresh ingredients from the nearby market and have a quiet evening in. The bed is comfortable — I mean, really comfortable, not just “fine for a few nights” — and there’s enough storage space that you won’t be living out of your suitcase. The bathroom is compact but well-appointed, and honestly, the water pressure was better than some four-star places I’ve stayed in.
Here’s something that’ll matter if you’re driving — they actually have private parking available, which in central Belgrade is like finding gold. Most places in Stari Grad will have you circling blocks looking for street parking or paying premium rates at public lots. The Wi-Fi works properly throughout the space, and there’s air conditioning that actually keeps the place cool during those sweltering Belgrade summers. Small details, but they add up when you’re trying to get work done or just want to relax after walking around the city all day.
What really comes through in those high ratings — especially that 9.7 from couples — is how this place gets the balance right between independence and location. You’re not dealing with hotel check-in times or breakfast schedules, but you’re also not stuck in some residential area where nothing’s walkable. The value is solid too; you’re paying for the location and the space, not fancy amenities you might not use anyway. It’s the kind of place where you can picture yourself actually living for a week or two, exploring Belgrade at your own pace and coming home to somewhere that feels like your own little corner of the city.

The position of the apartment is perfect to visit the city. All the main services are around the area and it is near to many bus stops. The host was very kind and gave us some tips.
What could be improved: Unfortunately, during our stay, the washing machine didn't work. The host was waiting to replace it.
The location is exceptional, easily accessible and equipped with all the comforts necessary to stay in Belgrade. It is close to museums and places to go out. The flat is designed to be compact but functional and has the essential facilities. Finally, a compliment to the excellent reception of the staff, both for the English and the handy tips about the city.
What could be improved: The cooking and eating equipment is not enough; there is no cutlery for cooking lunch or dinner. In addition, the equipment begins to be consumed, so it would be preferable to replace it (especially the kettle and some slightly staggering furnishings). The accommodation has an unpleasant smell, probably due to the sewers. Given these points, it is a little too expensive.
Perfect location right in the city center. 5 min walking to Kalemegdan, 5 min to Skadarlija. Very kind agent.
What is the super about this apartment is location (very close to the city centre) and apartment looks so nice. For couple is great choice. The women who gave me keys and showed apartment was very kind and flexible.
What could be improved: For me the car parking space was a little problem.
Great location and parking
What could be improved: Dated bathroom door that cant be closed
Perfect location, well used compact space and very nicely decorated. Special touches: a large hallway mirror and a bathroom window.
What could be improved: Unfortunately, there was strong persistent smell of food in the bathroom, so the bathroom window had to be constantly open. Also, the bathroom door don't close properly. The internet connection was rather slow at about 1 Mbps.

What could be improved: nothing
Brilliant central location and very comfortable space. Lovely little balcony too!
The person that met us with keys was very friendly and warm. He showed us parking for our car. Flat was small but had all we needed for a short stay. It was an ideal location.
What could be improved: The fridge was quite noisy at night as it was in the same room. The batteries for the TV also didn't work, although it was not a big deal for us but just something to fix.
Great and convenient location in the city's center. Good service.
