Apartamenty Deo Plaza nad Motlawa by Rent like home Overview

When I first stepped into Apartamenty Deo Plaza nad Motlawa by Rent like home, I was hit by that unmistakable Gdańsk vibe – the salty breeze from the Motława, the faint hum of trams, and the smell of fresh pierogi wafting from a nearby bakery on Wiśniewska. The lobby’s exposed brick and industrial chic made me feel like I’d stumbled into a loft in the heart of the old town, but with the kind of modern polish that makes you feel like you’re at the top of a 4‑star hotel without the corporate stiffness. Check‑in was surprisingly quick; the front desk staff were friendly and even offered a free map of the city, which is a lifesaver if you’re not familiar with the maze of cobblestones.

The apartment itself feels like your own home. The living area is spacious, with a low‑profile sofa that’s actually super comfy, and a wall of windows that let in a mix of city‑lit evenings and the occasional river fog. I love that the kitchen is fully equipped – there’s a small espresso machine, a decent range, and a set of chef‑grade knives that make whipping up a quick dinner feel effortless. I spent a whole evening in the tiny balcony, sipping a glass of local white wine while listening to the distant shout of a street musician playing a Polka. The room’s noise level is pretty good; the only thing that gives a bit of a lullaby is the gentle clatter of boats on the river at night. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll be fine – the curtains are thick, and the building’s got a decent soundproofing, especially compared to those cramped rooms on the lower floors of the old town.

Parking is a non‑issue if you’re driving. There’s a small paid parking lot right on Chmielna, and the attendants are friendly enough to show you where to park. If you’re taking public transport, the tram stop on Chmielna is just a short walk away, and from there you can hop onto a bus that takes you straight to the Palmiry memorial or the new cultural center on Gdańska Street. The real charm, though, is the neighborhood’s eclectic mix of cafés, art galleries, and that little market on Friday mornings where locals sell freshly baked rye bread and homemade góralski cheese. I found myself sipping a latte at a tiny shop on Wiśniewska and chatting with the barista about the best way to navigate the city’s bike lanes. You’ll notice that the area stays lively into the evening, but the noise is mostly conversation and music, not traffic, which makes it a great spot if you’re looking to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Honestly, the only critique I have is that the Wi‑Fi can be spotty during rush hour, but it’s good enough for checking in your photos or catching up on a quick email.

All in all, Apartamenty Deo Plaza nad Motlawa by Rent like home feels like a modern, comfortable slice of Gdańsk that still keeps you grounded in the city’s authentic rhythm. Whether you’re after a quiet retreat by the river or an energetic exploration of the old town, this place gives you the best of both worlds without the typical hotel fluff. If you’re planning a trip, I’d definitely recommend staying here – it’s the kind of spot that turns a solo journey into a memorable, almost home‑like adventure.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Gdansk at least two months ahead for major events like St. Dominic’s Fair, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.
