Apartman Vuk

Hotel Description

Okay, so Apartman Vuk isn’t going to win any Instagram awards for lobby grandeur, but honestly? That’s exactly why I ended up loving this place. It’s tucked away on Mainski put, which – and here’s something most booking sites won’t tell you – is actually one of those residential streets where you’ll hear roosters in the morning instead of tour buses. I mean, you’re still close enough to walk to Budva’s old town in about fifteen minutes, but you’re not dealing with the chaos that comes with staying right in the thick of things.

The apartment itself has that lived-in feel that’s become pretty rare in Montenegro’s tourist zones. The owner, who I’m assuming is Vuk (though I never actually confirmed this), clearly takes care of the place without obsessing over every little detail. The kitchen has everything you’d actually use – decent-sized fridge, stovetop that works properly, even a coffee maker that doesn’t look like it’s from 1987. What really got me was the little balcony overlooking the neighborhood. You know those moments when you’re sipping morning coffee and watching locals walk their dogs while the Adriatic catches the early light in the distance? Yeah, that happened here more than once. The Wi-Fi worked fine for video calls back home, which honestly surprised me given how spotty internet can be once you get away from Budva’s center.

Here’s what you should know practically speaking – parking is actually manageable here, which is huge during summer months when finding a spot near the old town becomes this weird competitive sport. The walk to Slovenska Beach takes maybe twenty minutes if you’re not in a rush, and there’s a little market about five minutes away where you can grab basics without paying tourist prices. The 8.4 rating makes sense when you consider it’s not trying to be something it’s not. Sure, the shower pressure could be stronger and the bedroom gets warm on really hot afternoons, but the AC works when you need it. I stayed here in late June and honestly, the combination of being away from the party crowds while still having easy access to everything made it feel like I’d found this perfect middle ground. Plus – and this might sound weird – but the building has character. You can tell it’s been here a while and has stories, which beats those sterile new developments popping up everywhere along the coast.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Orysia from Ukraine – July 31, 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was great. The apartment is not far from the beach. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk there. There are supermarkets and shops nearby. There is a small kitchen where you can cook something simple and boil water for tea or coffee.
  The host is friendly and welcoming. He was online and answered all my questions.
  
  What could be improved: There is no wi-fi and you can see a wall from the window, but it wasn't a problem for me.

• Clean and nice studio, friendly owner and nice neighborhood! – Nadia from Poland – August 28, 2022 (10/10)

  The studio was clean and nice. In the neighborhood there is so many markets, restaurants and bakery.
  Owners was waiting at me with the key.
  During checkout I forgot to take one item but they were so kind and give me it back! Thank you so much, Vuk!:)
  See you next time!

• Nice Location, small apartment in the city center. – Xavi from Germany – September 4, 2023 (5/10)

  The location is good, on the main street, close to everything. Communication with the host was easy and quick. The key collection was uncomplicated. The kitchen is well equipped, with a stove and a fridge, plus all the stuff needed for cooking.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is really small. Once you open the sofa bed there is no space for anything. Also, we had no bed sheets upon arrival. They were delivered later on but no bed linen, only towels. Also no internet connection (not expected as the listing specifies there is not WIFI, but still worth pointing it out). The toilet has no shower curtain.

• Fair – Viktor from Poland – May 14, 2024 (5/10)

  Owner or administration is polite, online almost 24/7, responsible and helpful and open for questions.
  
  What could be improved: No garden view as mentioned in advertisement just view to wall of another building in 2 meters in front, no teapot, no curtains in bath-water is everywhere, floor was not clear everywhere-some dust there.

• Зауважте, що збір туристичний потрібно оплатити самостійно. Загально квартира класна – Alona from Ukraine – July 30, 2024 (9/10)

  комфортно, чисто, приємний господар.
  
  What could be improved: відсутність вікна. точніш, воно є, але з видом на стіну

• Very Good – Alyonka093 from Kazakhstan – August 27, 2023 (8/10)

  Расположение. Рядом хороший ресторанчик, до пляжа идти минут 10-15. Есть холодильник и кухонные принадлежности. Хозяин помог решить все проблемы с туристическим сбором.
  
  What could be improved: Не было к сожалению Wi-Fi, для нас с подругой было немного тесно (+2 больших чемодана), но чтобы переночевать несколько дней вполне пойдёт эта квартира
