This one-bedroom house is tucked within a secluded garden, yet it's steps away from the restaurants, bars, and shops of Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, the longest street in the city. The house has a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and Wi-Fi. There's free parking on the street, or it's a quick walk to public transportation. Recent guests have called it "one of the best Airbnbs I've ever stayed at" and "a truly magic experience"—not bad for $31/night.

At an average rate of $18/night, Studio 24 seems almost too good to be true, but Jana is a certified Superhost with 45 positive reviews under her belt.

Located on a bustling square in the heart of the city, the apartment is close to attractions like the Zeleni Venac green market, the pedestrian Knez Mihajlova street, the presidential palace, and the floating bars on the Sava River.

It's in a quiet neighborhood in the heart of the city close to boutiques, museums, and taverns.
