Bayside Apartments

Bayside Apartments Overview

Bayside Apartments is tucked away on Garncarska 16/17/4, right on the edge of Gdańsk’s bustling waterfront. When I first stepped out of the building, the salty tang of the Motława River was already mingling with the scent of freshly brewed coffee from the café on the corner of St. Emiliana. The check‑in was a quick, friendly affair – the receptionist handed me a keycard and a handwritten note in Polish, “Welcome to your home away from home!” (I mean, that’s the sort of personal touch that makes you feel instantly at ease). The lobby is small but cozy, with modern art hanging on the walls and a small barista station that’s perfect for a mid‑morning espresso. The staff seemed genuinely excited to show me around, so they pointed out the best spot for a sunset walk along the river.

The rooms are spacious, four‑star level, and the kitchenette is surprisingly well‑equipped – think a full set of cookware, a coffee maker, and even a mini fridge that’s the right size for a couple of local craft beers. The beds are comfortable, and the blackout curtains are a lifesaver if you’re staying during the summer when the city lights can bleed into the window. Noise-wise, it’s a pretty quiet spot – only the occasional gulls and the distant hum of traffic from the nearby A1 highway. The parking situation is decent; there’s a small covered parking lot in the courtyard that’s often free on weekdays, though you’ll have to pay a modest fee on weekends. I found the elevator surprisingly quiet, which is a relief if you’re a light sleeper.

What makes Bayside Apartments truly special is its proximity to the local hotspots that only Gdańsk natives would recommend. Just a five‑minute walk, you’re at the old town’s cobblestone streets, where you can stumble upon a hidden jazz bar or a tiny bakery that serves pierogi fresher than any chain. For a more relaxed day, head to the nearby Stogi district – a quiet neighborhood with a great park that’s perfect for a picnic or a bike ride. The best part? The building’s rooftop terrace has a small but well‑maintained garden, and the view of the harbor at sunset is simply breathtaking. Honestly, the vibe is laid‑back but polished, and you’ll leave feeling like you’ve found a secret gem in the city. You know what? I could’ve stayed here for weeks just to soak up the atmosphere.
