NOI 1 Apartment

First Impressions

Walking into NOI 1 Apartment, you immediately get that “this is someone’s actual home” feeling — which makes sense, because it basically is. Located on the sixth floor of a residential building on Blaža Jovanovića street, this four-star apartment feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a typical hotel. The elevator ride up gives you a moment to appreciate that you’re about to experience Budva from a local’s perspective, and honestly, that’s half the charm right there.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re actually in Budva, not just visiting it. The street itself is quiet enough that you won’t have drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 3 AM, but you’re still close enough to walk to the Old Town in about ten minutes. I mean, recent guests have been raving about the location, and couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about having your own little corner of this coastal town. You know what’s great? You can grab fresh bread from the local bakery in the morning and feel like you belong here, even if it’s just for a few days.

The Space

The apartment itself strikes that perfect balance between homey and polished. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than bulk-ordered from some hotel supply catalog — the kind of place where you’ll actually want to cook a meal instead of eating out every night. The kitchen is properly equipped (not just a mini-fridge and a prayer), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The fact that it’s rated 8.7 by guests tells you something — people genuinely enjoy staying here, not just tolerating it.

The Budva Experience

What makes this place special is how it connects you to the real Budva rhythm. From your sixth-floor perch, you get glimpses of daily life that hotel guests usually miss — neighbors hanging laundry, kids playing in the courtyard, the evening promenade starting up. The Old Town’s medieval walls and beaches are close enough for spontaneous visits, but you’re removed enough from the tourist chaos to actually relax. Montenegro’s coast can be overwhelming if you’re staying right in the thick of things, so this feels like finding the sweet spot.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about apartment-style accommodations that just works better for certain travelers — especially couples looking for that “playing house in Montenegro” experience. You get privacy, space to breathe, and the freedom to create your own schedule without hotel breakfast times or housekeeping schedules. The high ratings from recent guests aren’t surprising when you consider that this place delivers on the promise of feeling settled rather than just passing through. It’s the difference between visiting Budva and actually staying in it, if that makes sense.
