The Gruz neighbourhood in Dubrovnik is one of the most convenient.The neighourhood is defined by its harbour which is the debarkation point of all ferries to and from Dubrovnik. If you're taking a bus to Dubrovnik from the airport or elsewhere you'll also be close to your Dubrovnik accommodation as the bus station is right nearby.

Gruz is also ideal for cruisers as all the large cruise ships embark and disembark in Gruz.

Plus, you'll find stores, a market, car rental agencies and a tourist office lined up for your convenience right along the harbour. You could walk to Dubrovnik's Old Town but most people take one of the frequent local buses. You're also in a good place to take day trips to the surrounding islands--Mljet, Elaphiti--as the boats leave from Gruz harbour. Parking is also easily available.
